Sadowsky Guitars MetroLine 22-Fret Will Lee Alder 4st (CAR)

The new Sadowsky standard series "MetroLine" and Will Lee models are manufactured at Warwick's state-of-the-art facilities.

Roger Sadowsky's goal was to further improve an already very successful bass design by implementing many detailed improvements. Together with the active circuit he developed himself, he succeeded in taking the J/J bass sound to a new level. All the characteristics of this bass sound - the typical Sadowsky tone with its clear, open bass, modern but not overly aggressive midrange and clear treble - are carried over to the MetroLine series, manufactured exclusively in Germany.

This MetroLine artist model features Will Lee, one of the world's greatest bassists, a familiar face in previous series and NYC. Its sleek, compact J-style body features single-coil J/J pickups and a custom-made preamp tailored to Will Lee's specifications. It features additional mid-boosts (500 and 800 Hz) for added punch, a passive tone control, treble/bass EQ boosts, ultra-lightweight tuners, and a bridge for superior response. At Will's request, the neck has a slightly narrower nut width. This exceptionally lightweight design makes it ideal for bassists looking for a lightweight bass with a modern bass sound and easy handling for stage performance. It offers world-class quality in both 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 hot topic. While retaining most of the basic concepts and specifications, the new models utilize Warwick's strength of "vast wood stock" and hand-selected materials, as well as chambered bodies not available in Japanese-made models, resulting in lightweight bodies of approximately 4kg or less for all models. Experience this new Sadowsky challenge for yourself.
