Sound Pure's Take

German lutherie expertise meets slinky short-scale playability in the Sandberg California Vs Soft Aged Shell Pink Bass! Tipping the scales at a featherweight 6 lbs 14 oz, this short-scale four-string features a solid alder body wearing a vintage-inspired Soft Aged Shell Pink finish, offset by a black pickguard and matching black control plate. The 30" short-scale roasted maple neck and fingerboard deliver exceptional neck stability, punchy fundamental response, and effortless fretting, accented by classic black dot inlays. Powered by a set of passive pickups paired with aged chrome hardware, this California series bass yields a rich, dynamic low-end growl with undeniable retro aesthetic charm. Complete with a padded gig bag, it offers top-tier German craftsmanship tailored for gigging bassists and studio players alike.
