Sandberg California TM4 SL Superlight Black Dots - tobacco sunburst
Sandberg is a german company with a strong reputation on the European bass scene. In the more recent years it has garnered attention around the globe with a wide selection of vintage-style and modern instruments.
Built in Germany, the SANDBERG California TM4 SL Superlight (Tobacco Sunburst) is a fantastic 4-string solid body electric bass merging influences from the classics Fender© Jazz Bass© and Music Man© Stingray©.
Its active/passive preamp and Sandberg Blacklabel T/M pickups offer an incredible collection of sounds going from traditional to contemporary.
California TM SL Superlight's body is made from Paulownia. Light as a feather, killer looks and great tone, Paulownia has it all. This fast-growing tree has been popular in the East for centuries. It is a lot more sustainable and cheaper than swamp ash and it is now also planted and harvested in Europe. For these reasons Paulownia is becoming a perfect alternative to Swamp Ash.
Stable and very resonant, it gives a striking amount of volume. Nice warm mids, clear lows and never ever annoying shrill highs. It doesn't have the ice pickiness Swamp Ash sometimes has. It sits right between Swamp Ash and Alder.
