Description

The Sandberg Florence Short-Scale Bass in Aged Orange Metallic is a compact, retro-inspired workhorse that delivers huge passive tones with effortless playability. With its 30″ scale, mahogany construction and a single powerhumbucker with a clever push/pull tone control, it covers everything from articulate split-coil punch to thick, old-school thump in a sleek, vintage-flavoured package. The Florence is a double-cutaway solid body with a matte mahogany finish and chrome Sandberg hardware to complete the throwback aesthetic. The short scale and comfortable neck make it an inviting instrument for players of all sizes. Whether you are chasing EB-style warmth, P-style definition or something in between, the Florence keeps things simple, musical and inspiring. Single Powerhumbucker At the heart of the bass is a single metal-covered powerhumbucker, voiced for vintage character but with enough output to sit confidently in a modern mix. The passive electronics keep your sound organic and responsive, with a push/pull tone pot offering two distinct tonal cuts. Push in for a more familiar, P-style split-coil flavour; pull out to engage a special capacitor that scoops the mids for a thick, warm “mud city” sound that is perfect for rootsy lines and big, supportive low end. Short scale length rowdiness With its short 30″ scale length, the Florence feels immediately playable, encouraging expressive vibrato, fast runs and comfortable stretches, especially for guitarists crossing over to bass or players who prefer a more compact feel. The choice of rosewood or maple fretboard with dot inlays keeps things classic and clear, while 20 frets (or a fretless option) give you all the range you need for most styles without ever feeling cramped or unwieldy.Key Features 30″ Short Scale Length – The compact 30″ scale makes the Florence easier to play, with a softer string feel and reduced stretches. This is ideal for players with smaller hands, guitarists moving to bass, or anyone who wants a more relaxed, expressive playing experience without sacrificing low-end authority. Mahogany Body with Matt Aged Orange Metallic Finish – The mahogany body delivers warm, rounded lows and a rich midrange, while the matt Aged Orange Metallic finish adds a distinctive vintage aesthetic. This combination gives you a bass that both sounds and looks classic on stage and in the studio. Single Metal-Covered Powerhumbucker – A single, high-quality powerhumbucker keeps the signal path pure and punchy, offering strong output and a characterful voice. The metal cover adds to the retro styling while helping to tame noise, giving you a focused, gig-ready tone. Passive Electronics with Push/Pull Tone Options – The simple volume and tone layout keeps operation intuitive, while the push/pull tone control unlocks two different tonal cuts. Push in for tighter, more defined split-coil style sounds; pull out to engage a special capacitor that scoops the mids for thick, warm, old-school “mud” tones. Vintage-Inspired Short-Scale Design The Florence is based on Sandberg’s Florence six-string but reimagined as a short-scale bass with a distinctly retro, Gibson-like vibe. The compact 30″ scale makes it easier to play for long sessions, ideal for smaller hands or players who simply prefer a slinkier feel, while still delivering a full, authoritative bass response. Mahogany Body with Matt Finish A solid mahogany body finished in a tasteful matt Aged Orange Metallic gives the Florence a warm, resonant core and a classy, understated look. The mahogany construction supports rich lows and a musical midrange, helping your notes bloom naturally without sounding harsh or clinical. Powerhumbucker with Push/Pull Tone Control The single metal-covered powerhumbucker is voiced for characterful, vintage tones, from P-style split-coil punch with the tone pushed in, to thick, mid-scooped “mud city” warmth when you pull the tone pot. This simple passive layout gives…

Bass Guitars

Bass guitars form the backbone of a band’s sound, sitting between rhythm and harmony to give music depth, weight, and movement. Available in electric and acoustic forms, they focus on delivering strong, controlled low frequencies while remaining clear and responsive to playing dynamics. Factors like scale length, string type, and pickup design all influence tone and feel, allowing bass guitars to suit a wide range of styles and techniques. Whether laying down solid grooves or exploring more melodic lines, a good bass guitar anchors the music and brings everything together.

Guitar

Explore electric, acoustic and bass guitars across a wide range of playing styles, body shapes and specifications. The most useful differences include scale length, construction, pickup type, neck profile, materials and whether the instrument is intended for amplified, acoustic or hybrid use. Use the narrower guitar categories and feature tags to compare instruments with similar designs rather than relying on appearance alone.

Short Scale Bass Guitars

Short scale bass guitars use a reduced scale length, making them more compact and easier to play than standard long scale basses. The shorter string length results in lower tension, giving a softer feel under the fingers and a slightly warmer, rounder tone. They’re a great choice for players with smaller hands, guitarists moving to bass, or anyone looking for a more comfortable, relaxed playing experience. Despite their size, short scale bass guitars remain versatile instruments, capable of delivering solid low end with a distinctive character.

Bass Guitar

Bass guitars are lower-pitched instruments designed to provide the rhythmic and harmonic foundation of a performance. Scale length, string count, pickup type, active or passive electronics and body construction influence feel, output and tonal range.

Short Scale

Short-scale guitars and basses use a shorter vibrating string length than the common full-size format. This reduces fret spacing and changes string tension at the same tuning. Check the stated scale measurement, string gauges, bridge and setup because the practical feel varies between designs.
