Alder body and six-bolt neck.
In the construction of the Special Edition California VS4 Racing Car, the bass builders from Braunschweig pay special attention to a lively tone and comfortable handling. In addition to the classically styled alder body, a six-ply maple neck with maple fingerboard is used accordingly, with the flat C-profile offering optimal playing characteristics. Between the 22 frets, classic dot inlays mark the layers.
Sandberg pickup and active EQ
Thanks to the middle-positioned Sandberg split-coil pickup, the four-string turns out to be a straightforward rocker whose rich sound with powerful punch in the low-mids makes every note played an acoustic and physical experience. For precise tone adjustment, the Bass also features a musically tuned, active 3-band tone control. By activating the push-pull switch in the volume control, the four-stringer can also be played in passive mode.
Sandberg Hardware
Of course, the Racing Car California VS4 is completed by the SandbergHardware known for its unshakable reliability. On the body sits the Sandberg Bridge 4 with three-dimensional adjustment possibilities for intonation, string spacing and string action, while on the headstock behind zero fret and nut four Sandberg Machine Heads ensure an exact and robust tuning of the E-Bass.
