Sadowsky - MetroExpress Vintage JJ Black Pearl 5 Cordes Érable

The Sadowsky MetroExpress Vintage JJ Black Pearl 5 String Maple Electric Bass is a versatile instrument and adapts easily to all styles.

The Sadowsky active electronics are a real asset. When you want to add a little punch, you turn up the preamp one turn.

For a softer tone, you pull the button and bypass. It's simple, fast, and it changes everything, depending on the mood of the song.

Switching from one to the other is done in the blink of an eye, without ever losing fluidity.

The Okoume body and the roasted maple neck are a perfect match. The Okoume brings a rounder, warmer sound, but remains lively.

The ultra-responsive neck responds to each note with great precision. The roasted maple gives a pleasant texture under the hand that is optimal for lively lines or clean chords.

It’s a winning duo!

The nickel silver frets never give way. Even after a day of intense playing, they are rock solid.

Whether you’re playing energetically or bending like crazy, they hold up well. You feel every note clearly and precisely, without a hitch. It’s solid!

The Black Pearl color is quite a spectacle. On stage, it catches the light in an obvious way. It’s as if it were changing color under each ray of light.

A real treat for the eyes, which adds an extra touch of style. You can’t help but notice it.

The Sadowsky Light tuners are top notch. Even with the tension of the fifth string, they hold up. No detuning between two songs.

It’s a huge time saver and a real comfort, especially during quick changes. On stage, you can concentrate on your music, not on tuning. A detail that makes all the difference.
