Sadowsky MetroExpress 21-Fret Vintage J/J Bass, Morado Fingerboard, 4-String - Solid Black High Polish
SKU: SMX21VJ4 23R OKU FRThe Sadowsky MetroExpress 21-Fret Vintage J/J Bass delivers the renowned Sadowsky tone and playability in a more accessible package, featuring a lightweight okoume body paired with a roasted maple neck and morado fingerboard for a warm, resonant foundation with excellent note definition. At the heart of its sound are two hum-cancelling J-style pickups in the classic '60s position, driven by Sadowsky's active 2-way preamp with a convenient push/pull passive bypass, giving players seamless control over a wide range of tones from vintage warmth to modern punch. The bolt-on construction and 34" scale length provide a snappy, familiar feel, while thoughtful details like the Sadowsky Just-A-Nut III and quick-release bridge reflect the same attention to craft found in Sadowsky's higher-tier instruments.
