Together with the electronics he developed, he has managed to take the well-known J\/J bass sound to a new level, so that today one can speak of a typical Sadowsky Tone: never harsh sounding, with deep, defined, by no means dull basses, present but not intrusive mids and sweet and airy highs.\n\n\n\nAll features of this modern bass sound can also be found in the MetroLine Artist model by Will Lee, known as one of the best and most requested session players (David Letterman Show, Horace Silver, George Benson, Bette Middler and many others). The five-string version – here in a glossy Solid Black High Polish Finish – has a slightly reduced J-Style body made of swamp ash, a slightly slimmer neck with a fretboard made of maple, the preamp specially adapted to The Will Lee's wishes with an additional mid-boost at 500 or 800 Hz for more punch, a J\/J pickup configuration, Vintage Tone Control, Treble as well as Height Boost, the ultra-light Sadowsky vocal mechanics and the special Sadowsky bridge, which allows a quick string change.\n\n\n\nThis Artist model is made exclusively in Germany. All basses have a weight of approx. 4.0 kg and are therefore also interesting for bassists who are looking for a modern bass sound as well as a lightweight solution for the stage.\n\n\n\n\u003chr noshade\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eSadowsky MetroLine 22-Fret Will Lee Artist Line Bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eRight-handed version\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003e5-string electric bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003e34\" (864 mm) Scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eScrewed neck (Bolt-On construction)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eBody from American Swamp Ash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eMaple neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eMaple fretboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003e12\" fretboard radius\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eSadowsky Just-A-Nut III Saddle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003e44.5 mm saddle width\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003e22 Nickel Silver Frets (Width: 2.4 mm \/ Height: 1.3 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003ePassive Sadowsky J-Style pickup (neck)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003ePassive Sadowsky J-Style pickup in 60s position (bridge)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eCustom Will Lee Preamp (on\/off mid-boost, optionally 500 or 800 Hz, narrow or broadband)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eController for Volume \/ Balance \/ Vintage Tone Control (P\/P) \/ Treble and Bass (stacked)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eMid-Boost Switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003ePush\/Pull function on the VTC controller for Preamp Bypass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eSadowsky Light mechanics with open gearbox\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eSadowsky S-Security Locks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eSadowsky Bridge with Quick Release for the Strings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eChrome Hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eCovered with 045 - 130 Sadowsky Blue Label strings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eSolid Black High Polish Finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eTortoise whipping board\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eWeight approx. 4.0 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eIncl. hexagonal key setting set and individual certificate of authenticity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eIncl.
