Sadowsky MetroLine Modern 24 Special Edition 4-String Bass -
The Sadowsky MetroLine 24-Fret Modern Bass Special Edition Nebula is a limited-run 4-string crafted in Germany, with only 50 pieces produced worldwide. Its chambered American red alder body is topped with a stunning highly figured solid poplar burl cap finished in the exclusive Nebula high polish — a finish that shifts and shimmers with depth and dimension. The bolt-on maple neck and 24-fret fingerboard deliver a fast, modern playing experience suited equally to deep pocket grooves and advanced technical work.
At the heart of the Nebula's tone are a pair of Sadowsky soapbar dual-coil pickups paired with a 2-band active preamp and Sadowsky's acclaimed Vintage Tone Control. The VTC operates via a push-pull knob, giving you instant access to fully passive operation for organic, old-school warmth or the full punch and clarity of the active circuit. Meticulously built to the same exacting standards as Sadowsky's NYC custom instruments, the MetroLine delivers that signature Sadowsky voice — articulate, punchy, and refined — without the custom shop wait.
