Presentation
The Sadowsky MetroExpress Vintage JJ Candy Apple Red 5 String Rosewood Electric Bass combines aesthetics and functionality.
The Sadowsky bridge system with quick-release system is a game changer. In the middle of a concert, there is no time to fiddle with a string change. Here, it is folded in a few seconds, and you are already ready to play the next song!
A time saver, especially when you play non-stop.
With a 34" scale length, the sensations remain balanced. Compared to a bass with a shorter scale length, the high notes are fretted more easily.
A bend at the top of the neck remains flexible, without losing power or clarity. This length allows good bass support, without compromising on response.
The Okoumé body lightens the playing on stage. After several hours standing, you feel less tired.
The instrument rests naturally against you, without weighing you down. This is ideal for playing songs one after the other without shoulder pain. A bass that follows your rhythm without slowing you down.
The rosewood fingerboard is a real velvet carpet under the fingers. The slides follow one another effortlessly, and the lively passages keep all their fluidity.
Each note comes out clearly, without catching. This wood also brings a certain softness that is perfect for subtle nuances.
The Sadowsky Light tuners ensure good hold okay. Between two songs, a quick adjustment is enough, without fear of an untimely misadjustment.
Even after hours of playing, everything stays in place. Nothing worse than a bass that drifts in the middle of a set, here, no worries!
The passive J-Style microphones, associated with active electronics, make all the difference. Switching from a vintage grain to a sharper presence is done in the blink of an eye.
A simple adjustment and you adapt the tone to the reactions of the audience. A welcome versatility to navigate between styles!
What can we say about the Candy Apple Red color under the spotlights? It catches the light brilliantly.
This bass imposes itself as much by its style as by its sound. With the Sadowsky PortaBag, it remains intact during your travels.
