Sadowsky Metro Express 21-Fret Vintage JJ 5-String Bass with Maple Neck - Solid Black High Polish

Sadowsky Metro Express 21-Fret Vintage JJ 5-String Bass with Maple Neck - Solid Black High Polish

With a goal of improving on a classic and iconic bass design by making a series of detailed refinements, Roger Sadowsky took the beloved tone of a J-bass to new heights. Developing his own electronics, Sadowsky was able to craft an instrument that's never harsh or unpleasant sounding, with robust, powerful low-end, smooth, but present mids, and a musical and airy high-end. Boasting a lightweight design, this bass is the perfect choice for players looking for a lightweight gigging and studio workhorse to deliver an authoritative, modern bass tone.
