Sadowsky MetroLine 21-Fret Vintage J/J Bass Alder (4-String, Germany, MOR) - solid black high polish

Made in Germany in the Warwick workshops, the SADOWSKY MetroLine 21-Fret Vintage J/J Bass, Red Alder Body, Morado Fingerboard, 4-String (SML21VJ4 23 ALD FR) reinterprets to perfection a benchmark American solidbody electric bass. It's a top-of-the-range instrument designed for professional musicians seeking an instrument at the crossroads between timeless vintage and modern flexibility, qualitatively irreproachable and 100% reliable. It can be used in a wide variety of musical registers.

The lutherie combines an Alder body with tonal chambers (to reduce the instrument's weight without altering its deep tonal identity), a bolt-on neck in Maple and a Morado fingerboard (set with 21 frets). A traditional platform that generates a very homogeneous, dense and responsive acoustic base, with thick, punchy lows, present mids and clear, dynamic highs.
The Morado (Pau Ferro) that forms the fingerboard is a wood from the forests of Brazil and Bolivia. Its high density creates a hybrid sound between rosewood and maple.

The Sadowski MetroLine 21-Fret Vintage J/J Bass features a duo of Hum-cancelling J-Style passive single-coil pickups that produce warm, expressive tones without background noise. The Sadowski active preamp is both simple and versatile. The VTC (Vintage Tone Control) filter effectively supports traditional tone controls by attenuating high frequencies to give your tones an authentic vintage temperament (a bit like having a passive bass). The VTC potentiometer is of the push/pull type, allowing the circuit to be deactivated for an even more organic sound.
