Sound Pure's Take
Combine effortless short-scale playability with timeless offset style in the Sandberg California TT Shorty! Tipping the scales at a balanced 7 lbs 4 oz, this German-crafted 30" short-scale bass features an alder body finished in a subtle, road-worn Soft Aged Creme paired with a sleek black pickguard. The satin-smooth maple neck and maple fingerboard offer lightning-fast movement, making complex runs and long sessions feel completely effortless. Loaded with a pair of passive Sandberg Blacklabel TT single-coil pickups, it delivers punchy, vintage J-style growl, tight bass response, and articulate, woody top-end bite. Complete with tastefully aged chrome hardware and a padded gig bag, this shorty offers big, full-sized tone in a ultra-comfortable, stage-ready package.
