Quality Construction for Exceptional Sound

The Sadowski SMX21VJ stands out for its meticulous construction:

• Lightweight okoumé body, offering beautiful resonance and optimal comfort
• Bolt-on neck made of roasted maple (C-profile) for smooth playability
• Morado fingerboard with 21 fretboard markers, a 34" scale length, and a 12" radius

This configuration produces full-bodied tones with clarity, bite, and excellent dynamics. The bass is warm, the mids are rich, and the trebles are crystal-clear.

Materials That Make the Difference

Okoume, a lightweight, low-density wood used for decades in the maritime and aerospace industries, is the preferred choice for this bass. It offers enhanced clarity and an extended dynamic range, similar to that of mahogany, but with more pronounced high frequencies. As for the Morado (Pau Ferro) fingerboard, it is known for its high density and hybrid tones, combining the qualities of rosewood and maple while offering a pleasant feel similar to that of ebony.
