The Sadowsky MetroExpress 21-Fret Vintage J/J Bass brings the legendary Sadowsky tone and playability to a more accessible price point without sacrificing the core elements that define the brand. This 5-string bass features a lightweight okoume body paired with a roasted maple neck and morado fingerboard, delivering a warm yet articulate tonal foundation with excellent resonance. The dual hum-cancelling stacked J-style pickups in the vintage 60s position capture classic Jazz Bass character with dead-silent operation, while the active Sadowsky 2-way preamp with push/pull bypass gives players the flexibility to dial in everything from vintage passive growl to modern, sculpted tones. Thoughtful design touches like the quick-access battery compartment, security strap locks, and a bridge with quick string release reflect Sadowsky's reputation for player-focused craftsmanship, making this an outstanding instrument for gigging and recording bassists who demand professional-grade performance.
