Roger Sadowsky has always improved bass design by making some very unique and important enhancements. Thanks to his proprietary special electronics, light-weight tuners and selected tone wood, Roger offers you the Sadowsky MetroExpress 21-Fret Vintage J/J 5-String Bass, an instrument at home both on stage and at home. Features include a light-weight solid Okoume body fitted with J/J pickups, finished in Solid Champagne Metallic High Polish with a white pearloid pickguard, a roasted maple neck with a 1.875″ / 47.5 mm wide nut, and a morado fingerboard. String spacing at the bridge is 0.71″ / 18 mm and the distance between all of the strings is 2.83″ / 72 mm. Together this makes one formidable bass that you are going to love to play! Best of all, the accessible price gives you access to 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, airy treble.
