In addition to being one of New York's most recorded bassists, you probably know Will Lee from his years with David Letterman’s Late Show band. Will has long relied on Sadowsky basses for his unmistakable sound, and this is the 4-string version of his signature model.
This sunburst MetroLine Will Lee 4-string features cost-saving Sadowsky appointments, including a slim, alder J-style body, thin poly finish, Sadowsky single-coil J bass pickups, and Sadowsky preamp (with additional trimpots on the rear to adjust mid-boost frequency and overall preamp gain—exclusive to the Will Lee model). The maple neck features a matte finish and morado fingerboard. The feel is arguably perfect.
Bottomline: Expect the same craftsmanship and quality as a NY Sadowsky at a more affordable price.
Sadowsky MetroLine basses are now made in Germany, thanks to a recent licensing agreement with Warwick/Framus. We’re impressed with our first shipment. They’re the answer for bassists who want Sadowsky sound, feel and precision—without the long wait typically associated with Roger Sadowsky’s outstanding custom-made NYC instruments. MetroLines basses also save you almost half of the cost of a New York Sadowsky.
Best part? It weighs a very comfortable 7lbs 13oz.
