This Sandberg California TM5 Black SL is a classic looking instrument with some modern specs and features. Those two letters at the end stand for Super Light and it really is because it weighs in at just 3kg. Simply amazing for a 5 string bass in a traditional shape (large body, headstock, etc,)

This ultra low weight is achieved by using Pawlonia for the body. This wood comes from a fast growing tree that is also incredibly light.

It has been designed for players who need a really versatile and powerful bass and can be used for hours without fatigue.

Classic body and neck dimensions (45mm nut, 18mm string spacing at the bridge) make it a really comfortable bass to play.

This bass comes finished in a cool "All Black" matt finish with matching headstock, black hardware and pickguard as well as black block inlays on the maple fingerboard. So cool!!

This bass in particular comes with two Sandberg pickups as well as Sandberg 2 band electronics. In short, a winning combination.

We dig the Single- Humbucker arrangement. There's a switch to split bridge humbucker and get true Single Coil operation so the number of great sounds available is just amazing. In practice you get authentic Fender and Music Man sounds (and more) in a single bass that plays like a dream, looks really cool, is ridiculously lightweight.

Oh, and the low B is just phenomenal.

Great price for a bass with such specs and also 100% made in Europe and is feather light. Plus it sounds amazing.

Gigbag included.
