Sadowsky MetroLine 4 String 24-Fret Modern Bass-SN1188
The Sadowsky MetroLine 24-Fret Modern Bass 2021 Special Edition is a limited-run German-built instrument that showcases premium tonewoods and refined Sadowsky craftsmanship. Limited to just 67 pieces worldwide, this 4-string features an undersized J-style body crafted from lightweight okoume and crowned with a stunning AAAA figured Claro Walnut top, finished in a Natural Transparent Satin that lets the wood's character shine through.
The roasted maple bolt-on neck paired with an ebony fingerboard delivers a fast, modern playing experience across all 24 frets, making this bass equally suited for melodic soloing and deep-pocket grooves. At its core, a pair of passive Sadowsky Soapbar pickups feed into an active preamp with bass and treble boosts alongside Sadowsky's renowned Vintage Tone Control (VTC), giving players the ability to seamlessly blend modern clarity with warm, classic bass tones at the pull of a knob.
Whether you're laying down studio tracks or commanding the stage, the MetroLine 24-Fret Modern delivers the tonal versatility and exceptional playability that has made Sadowsky a go-to name among professional bassists worldwide. This special edition's combination of exotic tonewoods, thoughtful electronics, and collectible rarity makes it a standout addition to any player's arsenal.
