With the Sandberg California TM4 Roasted Neck MN Tobacco Sunburst, the cult Braunschweig-based bass manufacturer presents a traditionally built electric bass with an alder body and a sixfold bolt-on neck made of roasted maple. With pickups by Delano and an active 2-band EQ, this four-string bass delivers a versatile sound spectrum with a clearly audible vintage touch.
With the construction of the Sandberg California TM4 Roasted Neck MN Tobacco Sunburst, the Braunschweig bass makers follow the classical guidelines and manufacture the body from alder. The bolt-on neck is made of roasted maple, a thermally treated maple that loses most of its residual moisture by "roasting" in a vacuum. This not only makes it very stable, but also supports the crisp sound and even sustain of the four-string. The slim "C" neck profile also ensures a high degree of playability, allowing every groove to be played without tiring even after hours of playing.
The electric sound conversion on the Sandberg California TM4 Roasted Neck MN Tobacco Sunburst is handled by pickups from Delano, which give this four-string a broad sound spectrum with unmistakable vintage nuances. The Delano MCFE M-Style humbucker at the bridge convinces with its assertive power sound, which makes every note felt in the pit of your stomach. In the middle position, however, the Delano JMVC T-Style single-coil pickup delivers a warm low frequency with a pleasant old-school feel. The sound spectrum is further enhanced by the split switch, which allows the humbucker to produce authentic single-coil sounds. In addition, the active 2-band EQ allows for precise adjustment of the sound character.
