The California II SL TT is a seriously impressive bass – the roasted maple neck is a dream to play, and those Blacklabel pickups give you a wonderfully articulate tone, perfect for funk, rock, and modern styles. It's a premium-priced instrument, but the quality and feel justify the investment, especially if you value a comfortable, responsive bass with a touch of German engineering.
