Sadowsky MetroLine 21-Fret Verdine White Artist Line Bass, Swamp Ash Body, Maple Fingerboard, 5-String - Solid Olympic White High Polish
Variante:
SML21VW5 28 ASH FR
Verdine White, famous bass player from "Earth, Wind & Fire" a band whose sound is significantly shaped by his powerful bass sound, chose Sadowsky to create his MetroLine Artist Line bass. Thanks to the electronics that Roger himself developed, this bass offers you that special modern Sadowsky tone: Never harsh or shrill. A bass tone that is strong and powerful, but never muddy. Present, but never overly aggressive mids, and a sweet and airy treble range. This 5-string version features a passive P-Style pickup at the neck and a hum-cancelling J-Style pickup at the bridge. Additional features include electronics with true bypass, Vintage Tone Control, treble and bass boost, Sadowsky light open-gear tuners and a Sadowsky Quick String Release bridge. The sleek and undersized J-Style chambered body is made from American Swamp Ash and is finished in Solid Olympic White High Polish, without a pickguard. The neck is American Maple with a 1.875" / 47.5 mm wide nut and has an American Maple fingerboard. String spacing at the bridge is 0.71" / 18 mm and the distance between all of the strings is 2.83" / 72 mm. Sadowsky Metroline Verdine White Artist Line basses are made exclusively in Germany. Each of these basses never weighs more than 8.9 lbs (4.0 kg), making it a a great choice for players who are looking for a lightweight bass with a modern sound.
