The California II SL TT 4 is a seriously cool short-scale bass. Its lightweight construction and snappy bolt-on neck make it a joy to play, and those Blacklabel pickups deliver a fantastic, vintage-inspired tone that cuts through the mix. This is a great option for gigging musicians or players who want a comfortable, versatile bass with a distinct character.

Frequently Asked Questions

Switching to passive mode mellows the tone, reducing the EQ's impact and providing a more classic, warmer sound. It’s a nice way to dial back the aggression when needed.
The frets are slightly rounded, offering a comfortable playing experience without being overly pronounced. It's a nice balance for both fast playing and comfortable chords.
The balance control adjusts the relative output of the pickups, allowing you to tailor the tonal emphasis between the bridge and neck pickups for a more focused sound or a wider spectrum.
