Sadowsky MetroLine 21-Fret Vintage M/J Bass, Swamp Ash Body, Maple Fingerboard, 4-String, Lefthand - Solid Black High Polish
Variante:
SML21MJ4 23 ASH FRL
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 M/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 Vintage M/J line of basses. This 4-string left-hand bass, seen here in a Solid Black High Polish finish, features a sleek, undersized, chambered J-Style body that is made of American Swamp Ash. The neck is made of American Maple with a 1.5" / 38.5 mm wide nut and features an American Maple fingerboard. String spacing at the bridge is 0.79" / 20 mm and the string distance between all of the strings is 2.36" / 60 mm. Special features of this bass include Sadowsky M and J pickups, active electronics with true bypass, Vintage Tone Control, treble and bass boost, and a 3-way toggle switch for humbucker pickup configuration (series / parallel / single coil). This bass also features light open gear Sadowsky tuners and the Sadowsky Quick String Release Bridge. Sadowsky MetroLine 21-Fret Vintage M/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.
