Sadowsky MetroLine 24-Fret Modern 5-string Electric Bass Guitar - Natural Transparent Satin

Sadowsky MetroLine 24-Fret Modern 5-string Electric Bass Guitar - Natural Transparent Satin

Designed and assembled in Germany by Sadowsky's world-class team of luthiers, the MetroLine 24-Fret Modern is a stunning limited-edition take on the company's most prestigious instrument models — complete with defining low-end precision, versatile sonics, and comfortable navigation throughout. Clean and professional tones, courtesy of an esteemed AAA koa top, are seamless to harness onstage, thanks to the potent dual-Sadowsky Soapbar pickup architecture and an American swamp ash body that provides plenty of tonal heft without the physical weight. Navigation is effortless with a satin-finished maple neck capped with smooth ebony, which keeps movement up and down the fingerboard swift and comfortable at all times. Finalized with a bounty of contemporary appointments, such as an iconic Sadowsky quick string release bridge, complementary black hardware, and ultra-durable Sadowsky light open-gear tuning machines, there's not a single doubt that the MetroLine 24-Fret Modern is an impressive instrument, but it's also a high-potential asset for any serious player looking to dominate their next live performance or studio session.

All-around MetroLine craftsmanship

From its limited-edition look to its overwhelming sonic variance, everything about the MetroLine 24-Fret Modern bass is crafted to the highest standard. A potent AAA-grade koa top kicks things off with a natural and attractive appearance — one that further complements its rugged stability and rich sonics to a tee. Likewise, a satin-finished, roasted American maple neck topped with a tigerstripe ebony fretboard supplies comfortable access to all 24 frets and is poised for quick and agile notational transitions. It's all topped off with a high-quality assemblage of complementary black hardware, including Sadowsky light open-gear tuning machines and a Sadowsky bridge for ultimate stability, from the strap peg to the headstock.

Onboard Sadowsky Soapbar power

In order to obtain the rich and professional sound for which Sadowsky instruments are known, the MetroLine 24-Fret Modern bass comes equipped with two Sadowsky passive Soapbar pickups. From subtle, mellow rhythms to heavy-thumping melodics, this Soapbar pickup set is capable of conjuring a vast spectrum of low-end vitality. Supplementing this iconic tonal foundation is a complete set of onboard Volume, Balance, Vintage Tone Control, and Treble and Bass controls, complete with a preamp-bypassing push-pull configuration, allowing you to carefully sculpt your studio, rehearsal, and live bass tone. Take it from our bass contingent: with this iconic Sadowsky Soapbox duo in your hands, you write the master guide on low-end sonic exploration.
