General

This P-style Sandberg Electra M4 has one lonely and incredibly potent Powerhumbucker. This model combines German master craftsmanship and drop-dead good-looks at an affordable price. While developed for power by Sandberg themselves, the mid-mounted humbucker delivers a thick and warm passive sound that can be tweaked using the simple but accurate two-band equaliser. Push the volume pot and you get a full active bass with cut and boost for both the high and low frequencies.

Sandberg Electra M4: Outstanding Sound and Incredible Playability

For the thickest possible lows and a heap of mids, the body of the Electra M4 has been made using lime. The body and hardware of every model included in the Electra-Series is manufactured in Korea, expertly assembled in Germany and painstakingly adjust by Sandberg. This results in an affordable bass that still comes with the assurance of impeccable German precision and outstanding sound and playability. The body of this Electra M4 has been finished in high-gloss red-burst and has a head to match.

Three-Way Adjustable String-Saddles

Sandberg have provided the California TM4 with some striking and incredibly precise features. The zero fret sitting just after the nut means you get the same tone when you play with open as well as fretted strings. The four saddles can be adjusted in three different directions for incredibly precise intonation while the resistance of the machine heads can also be adjusted to give you optimal string nut tension of the A, D and G strings.
