The Sadowsky MetroExpress Vintage JJ Black Pearl 4 String Maple Fingerboard Electric Bass features an advanced configuration.

The JJ pickups on this instrument provide great precision and clarity. The neck pickup delivers a smooth, full warmth.

The bridge pickup has a sharper edge, which is great for grooving.

If you're playing funk or rock, the balance between the two pickups is great for juggling between round and punchy tones.

With its 34" scale, it remains pleasant to play throughout a set. You can go for it without fear, even when the lines become complex.

It responds instantly. Even during long notes, there is always depth and a precise attack.

It is a real pleasure to play it live!

The roasted maple neck is a plus. Compared to a rosewood, the articulation is clearer, which makes each note shine.

The sustain, meanwhile, extends well. When you attack a fast riff, you feel that each note is heard, without getting lost in the mix.

The push/pull is a real bonus. On stage, you will love its rawer tone, especially when you want a more natural grain, without the preamp.

It is super practical to change tone in the blink of an eye!

As for the aesthetics, this tortoiseshell pickguard gives it a vintage side that doesn't go unnoticed.

This bass is a bit of a star on stage: it has that little something that makes you want to really play.

You want to make the wood and metal speak in a good groove.
