Sandberg California TM5 Superlight Tobacco Sunburst

The Superlight TM5 that proves five strings and light weight go perfectly together

The Sandberg California TM5 Superlight in Tobacco Sunburst is built for the bassist who wants the versatility of a B-string without their shoulder protesting the next morning. The Paulownia body is lightweight yet big in character: open, resonant, and with a natural warmth you feel as soon as you pick up the bass. The Tobacco Sunburst finish gives the instrument a timeless, classic look that convinces on any stage.

The Sandberg Blacklabel pickups deliver a versatile tonal palette that seamlessly aligns with the TM philosophy: from warm, full fundamentals to tight, articulate tones with bite. The 2-band EQ with split switch gives you direct control over your sound, even on the lowest B-string. The Pau Ferro fretboard plays smoothly and fast, with a clear attack that works particularly well in both studio and live situations.

The neck is made of Canadian Hard Rock Maple in a 6-piece laminated construction, stable and consistent under all conditions. With 22 frets on a 34" scale, a 14" radius, and Sandberg Classic chrome tuners, the playability is exactly what you can expect from a Sandberg. The black pickguard and chrome hardware complete the look in a tasteful way.

A Superlight TM5 you'll want to take with you night after night: the California TM5 Superlight Tobacco Sunburst is available for pre-order.
