Description

The Sadowsky MetroExpress Vintage M/J 5-string Bass Guitar is a stunning blend of classic style and modern performance, perfect for any bassist seeking versatility and precision. Crafted from lightweight okoume, the body offers a resonant tonal foundation that complements the roasted maple neck, enhancing both stability and playability. Topped with a morado fingerboard, this bass is as visually appealing as it is comfortable to play, with a 12-inch radius that facilitates smooth, quick runs across the 21 nickel-silver frets.

Underneath its elegant exterior lies a powerhouse of electronic engineering. The active Sadowsky 2-way electronics provide a wide range of tonal adjustments, allowing you to easily transition between musical genres. The bass is equipped with passive hum-free Sadowsky J-Style and Quad Coil Alnico V Humbucker pickups, delivering a clean, dynamic sound with the flexibility to switch between series, parallel, and single-coil modes via a 3-way toggle. This makes the MetroExpress Vintage M/J a versatile tool for creative expression, whether you're laying down a groovy baseline or cutting through with a sharp lead.

Practicality meets innovation with the Sadowsky Quick Access Compartment for effortless electronics tweaks and a quick-release bridge that simplifies string changes. The Just-A-Nut III system ensures precise string height adjustments, making this bass as easy to maintain as it is to play.
