Overview

Manufactured in China under Warwick’s supervision, the SADOWSKY MetroExpress 21-Fret Vintage J/J Bass, Roasted Maple Fingerboard, 4-String (SMX21VJ4 J1M OKU FR) is a striking reinterpretation of an iconic American solid-body electric bass. Built with high-quality components and crafted with remarkable precision, the MetroExpress 21-Fret produces tones worthy of much more expensive models.

High-Quality Materials for Exceptional Sound

The Sadowski SMX21VJ’s construction combines a Nyatoh body, a bolt-on maple neck, and a maple fingerboard. This design offers a perfect balance of thickness, bite, dynamics, and clarity. The tonal characteristics are as follows:

• Warm and precise bass
• Generous mids without excess
• Crystal-clear highs

A torrefied finish for improved stability and resonance

The torrefaction process gives the wood an elegant patina and enhances the instrument’s stability, sustain, clarity, and resonance. It also protects the bass from temperature fluctuations, humidity, and mold, ensuring greater longevity.

Okoume: The ideal choice for tonal clarity

Used for decades in the maritime and aerospace industries, okoumé (native to West Africa) is a premier choice for electric guitars. This lightweight, low-density wood can be considered a high-quality mahogany, offering more pronounced high frequencies and a wide dynamic range, which enhances the instrument’s clarity.
