Sadowsky MetroExpress 5-String Vintage JJ Bass - Black
Sadowsky MetroExpress 5-String Vintage JJ Bass - Black
If you’re after classic J-style tone with modern reliability, the Sadowsky MetroExpress Vintage JJ 5-String is a great choice. It delivers the familiar snap, clarity, and punch you’d expect from a Jazz-style bass while keeping the smooth playability and thoughtful upgrades Sadowsky is known for.
The okoume body keeps things lightweight and resonant, while the roasted maple neck and roasted maple fingerboard feel fast and comfortable in the hands. The 12" radius strikes a nice balance between vintage feel and modern playability, making it easy to move around the neck whether you’re grooving down low or playing higher up the board.
Tone comes from a pair of passive shielded J-style pickups that deliver articulate lows, punchy mids, and plenty of bite when you need it. With the onboard 2-band active preamp, you can easily add extra low-end depth or top-end clarity to fit the mix.
Finished in Black with a high-polish gloss, it’s a clean, classic look that works anywhere. At 9 lbs 1 oz, it’s a comfortable 5-string that’s ready for rehearsals, sessions, or the stage.
Includes gig bag.
