Product information
The Sandberg California LY Bass is a signature model from Beatsteaks bassist Torsten Scholz, who is the owner of several Sandberg basses. Now the Sandberg company is building its very own signature model, which is impressive. The alder body, painted in Letterbox Yellow, is well worn and looks very authentic. A 6-fold screwed maple neck is attached to it. The choice of fingerboard material was also made of maple in order to ensure a quick tone response and more brilliance. Visually, this is rounded off with pearloid block inlays and a matched headstock headstock. The pickup, in this case two Seymour Duncan SJB2, were embedded in the body at special positions and thus ensure a balanced sound. A somewhat atypical but entirely sensible change was made to this California bass: the strings are pulled through the body. This puts more pressure on the bridge and the vibration of the strings can be better transmitted to the entire body. Visually as well as from the technical side, this Sandberg bass makes an excellent impression and is delivered in an official Sandberg gig bag. Sandberg California TSBS LY:

About Sandberg

The Sandberg bass company was founded in 1987 by Holger Stonjek and a business partner in Braunschweig. The company then quickly made a name for itself in the woofer community, because Sandberg 's appearance, sound, quality and, last but not least, price are right. Lovers of classic designs - California models - as well as modern look and feel - e.g. Basic, Panther, Custom and Bullet models will find what they are looking for. Sandberg now also offers models under the name Electra that are not produced in Germany, but must meet the same high quality standards as the regular basses.

Since 2010, the Florence, California ST and DC models have also included electric guitars in the range, which, like the basses, have what it takes to become modern classics.

By the way, there is a configurator on Sandberg 's homepage where you can put together your dream instrument with your own favorite features. The result is a numerical code that we can use to place your order to Sandberg . Of course, we will be happy to give you detailed advice on choosing the perfect bass or electric guitar.
