General
The German craftspeople of Sandberg are more than capable of sculpting pristine hand-built basses, but here, apply artful and innovative ageing techniques to offer the deliciously aged form and killer-look of the California TT4 Masterpiece Aged.
The TT4: Adjustable Saddles and Delano JJ Pickups
The Sandberg team lack nothing in terms of building technique and the hardware used to finish the TT-Series is no exception. The bridge saddles can be adjusted in three directions so that, besides precise intonation and string height adjustments, the string distance can also be tweaked. Meanwhile, a set of two J-style, Delano-made single-coil pickups packing Alnico-5 magnets provide a warm, vintage tone, and a push-pull volume pot kicks the active tone controls in for a boost and cut in both the low and high end.
Six-Screw Neck for Awesome Stability
Besides the finish, the California TT4 is overflowing with stunning and thoughtful details. A zero-fret ensures as pure a note when the open strings are played as when they're fretted, the machine heads retain a solid vintage design that has been tested by decades of use on previous models, and unique string-trees for the A, D, and G string provide optimum nut tension. For the kind of tonal stability you would only expect from an instrument of this calibre, the maple neck has been secured with six screws.
Tips or comments about this product
- Please note: as of 15th March 2015, the California TM series features a redesigned body that differs from the standard J-Bass model.
- Please note: The 'ageing' process is manual, so the finish of these instruments will differ from guitar to guitar.
- The finish of the bass seen in the video will be different from the model you receive. The model shown is the same.
