Sadowsky MetroExpress 4-String J/J Bass - Maple Solid Black
The Sadowsky MetroExpress 21-Fret Vintage J/J Bass delivers the legendary Sadowsky tone and playability in a more accessible package. Built with a lightweight okoume body and a roasted maple neck and fingerboard, this bass offers excellent resonance, stability, and a fast, comfortable playing experience. At its core are dual Sadowsky hum-cancelling J-style pickups paired with the Sadowsky active 2-way preamp system featuring a push/pull bypass on the bass knob, giving players seamless control over their sound from warm, vintage passive tones to punchy, modern active voicing. Thoughtful details like the Sadowsky Just-A-Nut III, light open-gear tuners, and a quick-release bridge round out an instrument that punches well above its price point — a serious working bass built to Sadowsky's exacting standards.
