Sandberg California TSBS LY Torsten Scholz

Product information "Sandberg California TSBS LY Torsten Scholz"

The Sandberg California LY bass is a signature model from Beatsteaks bassist Torsten Scholz, who owns several Sandberg basses. Now Sandberg has built his very own signature model, and it’s impressive. The alder body finished in Letterbox Yellow shows honest playwear and looks very authentic. Fitted to it is a six‑bolt maple neck. The fretboard is also maple to ensure quick response and added brightness. Visually it’s rounded off by pearloid block inlays and a matched headstock. The pickups — in this case two Seymour Duncan SJB2s — are recessed into the body at special positions, resulting in a balanced tonal picture. A slightly unusual but perfectly sensible modification has been made on this California bass: the strings are routed through the body. This increases pressure on the bridge and allows the strings’ vibration to be transferred better to the whole body. Both visually and technically this Sandberg bass makes an excellent impression and is supplied in a proper Sandberg gigbag. Sandberg California TSBS LY:

About Sandberg

The bass forge Sandberg was founded in 1987 by Holger Stonjek with a business partner in Braunschweig. The company quickly made a name for itself in the bass community, because with Sandberg looks, tone, quality and not least the price all add up. You'll find something whether you love classic designs—California models—or modern looks & feels—e.g. the Basic, Panther, Custom and Bullet models. Under the Electra name Sandberg now also offers models that are not produced in Germany but still have to meet the same high quality standards as the regular basses.

Since 2010 the range has also included electric guitars with models like the Florence and the California ST and DC, which, like the basses, have the potential to become modern classics.

On Sandberg's website you'll also find a configurator where you can put together your dream instrument with your favourite features. The result is a numeric code that we can use to place your order with Sandberg. Of course we're happy to give you detailed advice when choosing the perfect bass or electric guitar.
