The Sadowsky MetroLine 21-Fret Vintage J/J Bass delivers the legendary Sadowsky tone in a professionally crafted instrument built for the working musician. Its chambered swamp ash body keeps the weight comfortable while producing a naturally bright, resonant voice with excellent note definition and presence. The bolt-on maple neck and maple fingerboard enhance that clarity with snappy attack and articulate highs, making this a bass that cuts through any mix with authority.
Dual hum-cancelling Sadowsky J-style pickups capture the classic Jazz Bass character with a muscular low end and focused midrange growl, all without the single-coil noise. The onboard Sadowsky active 2-way preamp provides musical bass and treble boost, while the Vintage Tone Control lets you roll off the top end for warmer, more traditional tones. A push/pull bypass on the VTC knob gives you instant access to a pure passive sound when you want it.
The undersized J-style body features vintage-inspired contours for a familiar, ergonomic feel, and the 34-inch scale length ensures solid fundamental response across all four strings. Finished in a stunning '59 Burst transparent high polish that showcases the natural swamp ash grain, this MetroLine Vintage J/J is a stage-ready instrument that embodies Roger Sadowsky's uncompromising approach to bass guitar design.
