Key Features
The Sandberg Florence 4-String is a compact short-scale bass with vintage looks and a bold, punchy tone. Its 30-inch scale length makes it effortlessly playable, while the aged alder body in Soft Aged Ruby Red brings classic vibe and lightweight comfort to the mix.
A single Powerhumbucker with a metal cover delivers a warm, focused sound with plenty of growl, perfect for locking in a groove. Finished with aged nickel hardware, a black pickguard, and a smooth rosewood fretboard, this bass has style and tone to spare.
Product Ref: 330552
The Sandberg Florence 4-String is built around a 30-inch short scale, making it an incredibly comfortable and accessible instrument for any bassist seeking a more compact feel. If you're used to full-scale basses or just getting into the instrument, the shorter scale makes fretting and navigating the fingerboard feel natural and fluid. This setup also reduces string tension slightly, adding a looser, more tactile response under the fingers—perfect for expressive fingerstyle playing, fast walking bass lines, or warm, vintage-style grooves. The smaller size also makes it a great option for travel, smaller stages, or tight recording environments where every inch counts.
At the heart of the Florence's voice is a single Sandberg Powerhumbucker, housed in a rugged metal cover that nods to classic design while delivering contemporary tone. This pickup is engineered for clarity, power, and rich low-end response, giving you a commanding presence in the mix. Despite its passive configuration, the Powerhumbucker delivers plenty of output, with a warm, throaty midrange that cuts through without sounding harsh. It captures the natural resonance of the alder body beautifully, letting the wood's character shine through no matter if you're playing clean or pushing your amp for a bit more grit. It's an ideal setup for those who want straightforward, no-fuss tone that still brings serious character to the table.
One of the standout features of the Sandberg Florence 4-String is its aesthetic. The Soft Aged Ruby Red finish brings a road-worn vibe without compromising the instrument's integrity or elegance. It’s not just for show either—the ageing process reflects Sandberg’s attention to detail and their dedication to recreating vintage mojo in a modern build. Paired with aged nickel hardware, a black pickguard, and white dot inlays, the look is both understated and unmistakably classic. The finish feels broken-in and familiar, inspiring confidence on stage and offering an instrument that looks as cool as it sounds. It’s a bass with soul, straight out of the box.
Every element of the Florence reflects Sandberg’s renowned craftsmanship and quality control. The alder body provides a balanced tonal foundation—resonant, lightweight, and tonally rich—while the neck is carved from Canadian hardrock maple for strength and stability. Attached with four bolts for solid connection and sustain, it provides a reliable playing experience gig after gig. The rosewood fretboard (Dalbergia latifolia) not only looks great but adds warmth and depth to the overall tone. Combined with premium aged hardware and the signature Sandberg feel, the Florence is an instrument you can rely on, perfect if you're recording in the studio or hitting the road. It’s simple, effective, and built to last without cutting corners.
