Sadowsky MetroExpress 21 Fret J/J 4 String-SN4373
The Sadowsky MetroExpress 21-Fret Vintage J/J Bass delivers the renowned Sadowsky tone and playability in an accessible package. Built with a lightweight okoume body and a smooth morado (pau ferro) fingerboard on a maple neck, this 4-string bass pairs dual Sadowsky J-style pickups with Sadowsky's famous active electronics to produce a wide range of classic and modern tones. The 21-fret neck provides extended upper-register access beyond the traditional 20-fret Jazz Bass layout, giving players more melodic range without sacrificing the familiar vintage feel. Finished in a sleek solid black high polish, the MetroExpress line represents Sadowsky's commitment to delivering professional-grade instruments that embody the same design philosophy and tonal character found in their NYC-built basses.
