Lefthanded Bass

The Sadowsky MetroExpress Vintage JJ Black Pearl Rosewood Left-Handed electric bass is made in Asia. Okoume lightens the bass, and that changes everything! After hours of playing, your back says thank you. Less weight, more ease of movement on stage. The Sadowsky bridge? A real time saver. In the middle of a concert, there is no question of struggling with a string change. One move, and it's done! The passive J-Style pickups send character without forcing. Each note breaks through without crashing into the mix. Need punch? One hit on the push/pull, and it roars immediately.

The Sadowsky MetroExpress Vintage JJ Black Pearl Rosewood electric bass is designed for left-handed bassists and features advantageous configurations.

The 305 mm radius is velvet under the fingers. The movements follow one another without a hitch, even on convoluted lines.

Playing fast without tension? A real pleasure, especially on technical levels.

Rosewood brings a roundness that maple does not have. Each note breathes naturally, warm and soft under the fingers. With a pick, the attack bites more, but without ever becoming too aggressive. It is a beautiful balance between softness and sharpness.

The Sadowsky Light tuners lighten the headstock well. Less weight at the top, less rocking. The instrument keeps its balance, even after long standing sessions. No need to compensate by holding the neck, everything stays in place.

The stainless steel strings have bite. Under the fingers, they catch a little, perfect for a percussive sound.

A slap smacks with great clarity. Want a softer rendering? The nickel wires would round off the corners a little.

The J-Style pickups react instantly. A light touch gives a muffled and singing groove. A more muscular attack increases the tension with a nervous growl.

It growls, it smacks, it adapts to your playing in the blink of an eye!

On a funk riff, caressing the strings keeps a suave roundness. Accentuate the attack, and the sound smacks with a good punch. We go from whisper to roar effortlessly. It is this flexibility that makes all the difference.

This bass has a response. No matter the style, it adapts, follows each nuance and gives personality to each note. A real sound chameleon!

With the Sadowsky PortaBag, it follows you without worry.
