The Sadowsky MetroLine 24-Fret Modern Bass 2021 Special Edition is a limited-run 5-string instrument built at the Warwick factory in Germany, with only 67 units produced worldwide. Its undersized J-style body features deep cutaways for effortless upper-fret access across all 24 frets, pairing a lightweight Okoume body with a stunning AAAA Figured Claro Walnut top finished in Natural Transparent Satin. The roasted maple neck with ebony fingerboard delivers a fast, stable playing experience with enhanced resonance and a refined aesthetic.
At the heart of this bass, hum-cancelling Sadowsky J-style pickups feed into an active Sadowsky preamp with bass and treble boost, complemented by the signature Vintage Tone Control — a passive tone rolloff that operates independently of the preamp, letting you dial in classic warmth without disengaging your active sound. A push/pull knob on the VTC provides instant preamp bypass for a purely passive voice when the moment calls for it. Whether you're laying down tight modern grooves or vintage-inspired lines, this Special Edition delivers Sadowsky's renowned clarity, punch, and musicality in a collectible package.
