Sandberg California TM5 Sherwood Green Hardcore Aged

Sherwood Green Hardcore Aged on a five-string California TM5: raw character with an extra low B

The Sandberg California TM5 in Sherwood Green Hardcore Aged is a five-string bass that immediately grabs attention. The Hardcore Aged finish gives this instrument an authentic, weathered look that cannot be replicated in a factory. Sandberg applies every scratch and detail by hand, ensuring that no two instruments are identical. The Sherwood Green color adds a quirky, retro character that stands out both on stage and in the studio.

The Alder body delivers the classic, balanced tone that makes this wood so beloved by bassists: full low-mids, clear highs, and a tight attack. The extra low B-string adds depth and weight without sacrificing definition, exactly what you expect from a well-built Sandberg five-string. The Maple neck with California TM profile plays fast and comfortably, while the Rosewood fretboard with White Block inlays provides a warm, singing tone that beautifully contrasts with the bright attack of the Maple neck. The 14" radius and 34" scale length ensure a playing feel that works excellently for both funk and rock.

The Sandberg Black Label pickups in combination with the 2-band EQ (Volume, Balance, High, Low) give you direct control over your sound, from warm and round to clear and present. The Sandberg Aged bridge and Sandberg Classic tuners complete the instrument with hardware that matches the aged aesthetic. With 22 frets, an 864 mm scale length, and the characteristic California TM neck, this is a bass that makes no compromises, both technically and visually.
