Model History
Sandberg Guitars, founded in the mid-1980s in Braunschweig, Germany, quickly built a reputation for high-quality, hand-built basses. The California series, introduced in the early 2000s, was designed to provide players with modern versatility while maintaining a nod to classic bass aesthetics. Combining vintage-inspired designs with cutting-edge German engineering, the California series quickly became popular among professionals worldwide. Notable players who have chosen Sandberg basses include Ida Nielsen (Prince), Oliver Riedel (Rammstein), and Doug Wimbish (Living Colour).

The California series evolved to offer multiple configurations, including the California TT (traditional J-style), TM (J/MM pickup combo), and VS (P-style) models, catering to players across diverse genres.

This bass is a solid performer, offering excellent ergonomics, versatile tones, and the reliability expected from a Sandberg. Ready to deliver on gigs for years to come!
