The Sadowsky MetroLine 21-Fret Standard J/J Bass Limited Edition 2023 in Majestic Red Transparent Satin is a striking 5-string instrument from one of the most respected names in modern bass building. Part of a limited run of just 125 instruments, this bass pairs a stunning quilted mahogany top with a black accent line over a lightweight Okume body, all shaped into Sadowsky's signature undersized J-style body with deep cutaways for effortless upper-fret access.
The roasted maple C-profile neck delivers exceptional stability and a smooth, broken-in feel, while the Honduras rosewood fingerboard with mother-of-pearl block inlays adds warmth and visual elegance. Dual Sadowsky hum-cancelling J-style pickups provide that iconic, articulate jazz bass tone without the noise, powered by Sadowsky's acclaimed active 2-way preamp with bass and treble boost. The Vintage Tone Control with push/pull preamp bypass lets you seamlessly shift between modern clarity and classic passive warmth, giving this bass remarkable tonal versatility for studio and stage alike.
