Sadowsky MetroLine 24-Fret Modern 5-String Bass Guitar, 59 Sunburst

The Sadowsky MetroLine 24-Fret Modern Bass is perfect for any player looking for a bass with modern looks and that famous 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 5-string bass has a chambered American Red Alder body. Seen here in a '59 Burst Transparent High Polish finish, the body shape is sleek and undersized with deeper cutaways for better playability and a full two octave note range. The neck is made from American Maple and has a Morado (Pau Ferro) fretboard with 24 nickel silver frets. This bass is fitted with two passive Sadowsky Soapbar pickups, both in a modern position, and has active electronics that offer true bypass, Vintage Tone Control, as well as treble and bass boost. Hardware includes Sadowsky light open gear tuners and a Sadowsky Quick String Release bridge. Each Sadowsky MetroLine 24-Fret Modern Bass is made exclusively in their workshop in Germany and weighs no more than 8.9 lbs (4.0 kg). A good choice for bass players who are seaching for a light, modern looking bass with that special modern Sadowsky sound.
