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 21-fret Vintage J\/J basses of the MetroLine series, which 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\nSpecial features of the fret vintage J\/J basses of this series are the active electronics with True Bypass of the Preamp with 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\nThe five-string bass with slightly reduced J-Style body made of swamp ash comes here in a glossy '59 Burst Transparent High Polish Finish.\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 21-Fret vintage J\/J 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\u003e47.5 mm saddle width\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003e21 Nickel silver frets (width: 2.4 mm \/ height: 1.3 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003ePassive, hum-free Sadowsky J-Style pickup (neck)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003ePassive, hum-free Sadowsky J-Style pickup in 60s position (bridge)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eActive Sadowsky 2-band electronics (bass and treble boost) with Vintage Tone Control (VTC)\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\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\u003e'59 Burst Transparent 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.
