Product information "MetroLine 21-Fret Vintage J/J Bass - Solid Black Satin "
Character & Tonal Philosophy
Sadowsky MetroLine 21-Fret Vintage J/J Bass - Solid Black Satin represents Roger Sadowsky's mission to elevate a classic J/J bass design through carefully refined details. Combined with his specially developed electronics, it delivers the well-known J/J sound at a higher level—defined lows that are never muddy, present but never harsh mids, and sweet, airy highs. All hallmarks of this modern bass voice are found in the MetroLine 21-Fret Vintage J/J models, crafted exclusively in Germany.Feel & Construction
Weighing only about 3.8 kg, this instrument is ideal for bassists seeking both a modern sound and a lightweight stage solution. The four-string design features a slightly downsized J-style body made of American alder, paired with a bolt-on maple neck and a Morado fingerboard for stability, quick response and a balanced playing feel. Its matte Solid Black Satin finish enhances its understated, contemporary appearance.Electronics & Features
The active 2-band preamp with true bypass via the push/pull Vintage Tone Control offers flexible sound shaping from subtle to powerful. Hum-free passive J-style pickups provide classic tone without noise, while Hipshot-style lightweight tuners and the Sadowsky quick-release bridge ensure reliability and comfort. The bass comes strung with Blue Label strings and includes a Portabag as well as essential adjustment tools.Product Details
