Sadowsky MetroLine 21-Fret Hybrid P/J Bass, Red Alder Body, Morado Fingerboard, 4-String - Solid Dark Lake Placid Blue Metallic High Polish
Roger Sadowsky's goal was always to further improve an already very successful bass design by making a number of detailed improvements. Along with the electronics, which he developed by himself, he succeeded to raise the well-known P/J bass sound to a new level, so today you can speak of a typical Sadowsky tone: Never harsh or shrill sounding, with strong, powerful but never muddy bass, with present, but not too aggressive mids, and a sweet and airy treble range. This modern bass sound can also be found in the Sadowsky MetroLine 21-Fret Hybrid P/J line of basses. This 4-string bass, seen here in a Solid Dark Lake Placid Blue Metallic High Polish finish, features a chambered P-Style body made of American Red Alder. The neck is made of Maple and features a Morado (Pau Ferro) fingerboard. Special features of this bass include Sadowsky P and J pickups, active electronics with true bypass, Vintage Tone Control, treble and bass boost. This bass also features light open gear Sadowsky tuners and the Sadowsky Quick String Release Bridge. Sadowsky MetroLine 21-Fret Hybrid P/J basses are made exclusively in Germany. The weight of this bass is never more than 8.9 lbs (4.0 kg). A good choice for players who want a lightweight bass that offers a modern bass sound.
