Sadowsky MetroLine 21-Fret Vintage M/J Bass Alder 4-String (Germany, MOR) - dark lake placid blue metallic
Manufactured in Germany at the Warwick workshops, the SADOWSKY MetroLine 21-Fret Vintage M/J Bass, Red Alder Body, Morado Fingerboard, 4-String (SML21MJ4 32 ALD FR) is a stunning reinterpretation of an iconic American solid-body electric bass.
Its construction combines an American alder body, a bolt-on maple neck, and a Morado fingerboard (set with 21 frets). This traditional design produces a well-balanced, dense, and responsive acoustic foundation, with thick, punchy lows, present mids, and dynamic, clear highs.
The Morado (Pau Ferro) used for the fingerboard is a wood sourced from Brazilian and Bolivian forests. Its high density produces tones that are a hybrid of rosewood and maple. Its very pleasant feel is undeniably reminiscent of ebony.
The Vintage M/J Bass is extremely versatile thanks to a pair of Sadowski hum-canceling pickups—a J-Style (Jazz Bass© type) and an MM-Style humbucker (Music Man© type)—and custom active electronics.
The VTC (Vintage Tone Control) filter effectively complements the traditional bass and treble controls by attenuating high frequencies and giving your tones an authentic vintage character (much as if the bass were passive).
Sold with a Sadowsky Portabag gig bag.
