Description
[Slightly damaged special price]
Sadowsky's new standard series "MetroLine" is manufactured at Warwick's state-of-the-art facilities.
Roger Sadowsky's goal was to further improve his already highly successful bass design through numerous detailed refinements. With his self-developed active circuit, he succeeded in elevating the J/J bass sound to a new level. All of the characteristics of this bass—the typical Sadowsky tone, with its clear, articulate lows, modern yet not overly aggressive midrange, and clear highs—are carried over to the 21-fret vintage J/J bass, exclusively manufactured in Germany by the MetroLine series. This exceptionally lightweight bass is perfect for bassists looking for a lightweight bass that combines modern bass sound with easy handling for stage performance. It also features original parts such as hum-canceling JJ pickups, an active circuit with bypass, passive tone controls, treble and bass EQ boosts, ultra-lightweight tuners, and a responsive bridge, ensuring world-class sound and playability.
After receiving worldwide acclaim for its domestically produced models, the transition to models manufactured at the Warwick factory in Germany has become a much talked-about trend. While retaining most of the basic concepts and specifications, the new models utilize Warwick's strength, the "vast wood stock," and hand-selected materials to create lightweight bodies weighing less than 4kg, making them a departure from the original chambered NYC models. Experience this new Sadowsky challenge for yourself.
