Along with the electronics, which he developed by himself, he succeeded to raise the well-known J\/J bass sound to a new level, so today you can speak of a typical 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. All features of this modern bass sound can also be found in the 21-Fret Vintage J\/J basses of the MetroLine series made exclusively in Germany. All basses are lightweighted with approximately 8.9 lbs (4.0 kg). A good choice for bass players who are looking for a lightweight solution for the stage in addition to a modern bass sound. Special features of the Vintage J\/J basses of this series are the active electronics with true bypass, Vintage Tone Control, treble and bass boost, ultralight Sadowsky tuners and the special Sadowsky bridge for quick string release. This 5-string bass in sleek undersized J-Style shaped red alder body comes in Dark Lake Placid Blue Metallic High Polish finish.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSadowsky MetroLine 21-Fret Vintage J\/J Bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand version\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-string electric bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e34\" (864 mm) long scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBolt-on construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmerican Red Alder body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaple neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMorado fingerboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12\" fingerboard radius\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSadowsky Just a Nut III\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 7\/8\" (47.5 mm) nut width\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e21 nickel silver frets (width: 0.094\" (2.4 mm) \/ height: 0.051\" (1.3 mm))\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePassive Sadowsky hum-cancelling J-Style pickup (neck)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePassive Sadowsky hum-cancelling J-Style pickup in 60s position (bridge)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActive Sadowsky 2-way electronics (bass and treble boost) with Vintage Tone Control (VTC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls for Volume \/ Balance \/ Vintage Tone Control (P\/P) \/ Treble and Bass (stacked)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePush\/pull function at VTC knob for preamp bypass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSadowsky Light machine heads with open gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSadowsky S-security locks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSadowsky bridge with quick string release\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChrome hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSadowsky Blue Label 045 - 130 strings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid Candy Apple Red Metallic High Polish finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParchment pickguard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight ca. 8.9 lbs (4.0 kg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncl.
