Sandberg California TT-4 Exclusive Run Bass, Cosmic Black w/ Shell Pink Stripes
Player's Perspective
Music Store Live is proud to be an official Sandberg dealer! Made in Europe, with the finest German engineering, this bass will slap a smile on your face that you just can't shake. Sandberg basses are already very well known in Europe and are gaining popularity here in the U.S. for being some of the finest hand-made boutique basses available at a relatively affordable price for something that is so high-end. The playability is just simply off the charts.
We came up with a run of exclusive finishes for our store and had Sandberg crank out a few different models with it. It also has a soft age relic finish on it which we think is nice and subtle but a cool touch. This TT-4 is fully passive (think "traditional j-bass") and sounds old-school but has a really cool cosmic black finish and shell pink racing stripes that looks unique, classy, and timeless. We're really happy with how these came out. And, of course, it doesn't only look cool but it sounds awesome and plays like butter, just like every Sandberg does. We are such huge fans of these basses here at the shop.
As well as being effortless to play, this Sandberg TT-4 comes loaded up with some beautiful vintage-sounding alnico pickups that still carry some nice punch and a brilliant top-end that will remind you of your favorite jazz bass from the past. They are crisp, airy, articulate, and super snappy while also being able to be warm and thumpy. They're some of the nicest jazz bass single-coil pickups we've come across in a while.
So between the way it looks, the way it plays, and the way it sounds, there really is nothing left to be desired out of this bass. If you need a j-bass sound and want something that won't look too flashy but will also not look like every other j-bass out there and will always get the job done every single time you plug it in, this ought to be your weapon of choice.
