Sandberg California V Cafe Creme Hardcore Reserved Aged

The Sandberg California V: Where Birdseye Maple, aged craftsmanship, and active tone shaping meet

The California V is Sandberg's most versatile bass guitar, and this Cafe Crema Hardcore Reserved Aged version is the most compelling proof of that. The hand-applied aged finish gives the bass an authentic, weathered look that you rarely see on a new instrument. At the same time, everything under the hood is modern, precise, and built to perform at the highest level.

The alder body delivers an open, dynamic tone with warm undertones and a clear attack. The maple neck with Birdseye Maple fretboard is not only visually stunning: the material adds clarity and speed to the playing experience, with a tight response that works particularly well in complex musical contexts. The 34" scale length and California V neck profile ensure a familiar, comfortable grip that won't fatigue even during longer sets.

The pickup combination of a Blacklabel Precision and a Blacklabel Jazz gives the California V an exceptionally wide tonal palette. The 2-band EQ with split switch makes it possible to quickly switch between different tonal characteristics, from a full, round P-sound to a clear, articulate J-tone. With 22 frets, chrome hardware, and a weight of only 3.88 kg, this is an instrument that excels both in the studio and on stage. Includes gig bag.

For the bassist who wants everything in one instrument, without compromising on tone, playability, or appearance: the Sandberg California V Cafe Crema Hardcore Reserved Aged is an instrument that justifies its price every day.
