Sandberg California TT-4 Passive Bass, Blue Industrial Design
Player's Perspective
Music Store Live is proud to offer up this passive TT-4 from our friends over at Sandberg. Made in Europe, with the finest German engineering, this bass will slap a smile on your face that you just can't shake. This one's got a rad design on it that really helps this bass to stand out from the bunch as soon as you pull it out of the case. But, of course, as with all Sandberg's we've seen, it plays like a dream and sounds amazing.
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 vintage-inspired 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. It'll sound like some classic j-style basses, but certainly isn't going to look like anything you've seen before. If you need a vintage j-bass sound but want something that's still unique, well here you go!
