General

With this electric 21-5 Vintage J/J Bass, premium American guitar builder Sadowsky add a 5-string J-style solid-body bass to their attractively-priced MetroExpress Series. Jack this gig-ready bass into your amp, and the two passive J-style pickups teamed up with the Sadowsky-made 2-way active preamp force beefy tone in the amp's direction. Also, the 21-Fret Vintage J/J Bass comes complete with a made-to-measure Portabag, S-Security strap locks and a set of hex keys.

The MetroExpress 21-5 Vintage: Effortlessly Sling a Fat Range of Rock-Solid Bass Sounds Around

So, standard J-basses are already illustriously flexible but this Sadowsky example takes things even further. Next to a volume pot, you get a balance pot to blend the sound of both pickups (or isolate them), plus treble and bass controls for more precise tweaks across the low-end and high-end frequencies. To accommodate a fuss-free playing experience, the weight of the body has been kept down to a minimum and the neck has the familiar feel of a C-shape, while the Just-A-Nut III, quick string-release bridge and the Sadowsky Light open-gear tuners take care of unwavering tuning stability.
