Electric Bass
The MetroExpress Vintage JJ Fretless Black Pearl 4 String Rosewood Fingerboard electric bass brings total freedom to the game. Each note slides naturally. Changing genre? No worries, it's all about the touch. The glissando takes on a whole new dimension, fluid and expressive. The vibrato adds an inimitable depth. It's impossible to obtain these nuances on a fretted bass. Each slide becomes a song, each variation a signature. With this model, expression comes first. Once adopted, it's hard to go back!

Presentation
The electric bass from Sadowsky's MetroExpress series, the Vintage JJ Fretless Black Pearl 4 Strings Rosewood Fingerboard is a well-designed instrument.
Okoumé gives body to notes and extends slides. On a fretless set, it is an asset for sculpting lines full of nuances.
Each glissando keeps relief, even on softer frequencies.
The 19 mm spacing between the strings facilitates movements. The harmonics stand out without forcing, and the chords remain readable.
This setting leaves enough space for an expressive touch.
Under the spotlight, the Black Pearl plays on subtlety. It captures just enough light to reveal its reflections.
Live, it avoids the overly aggressive mirror effect while remaining visible.
The rosewood fingerboard provides a soft touch under the fingers. On a track like "Portrait of Tracy," every micro-adjustment becomes important.
Without frets, ear and muscle memory take over. This wood helps you find your bearings without sacrificing fluidity.
The quick-release bridge simplifies string changes. Between flatwraps and tapes, setup is seamless.
Less time wasted, more experimentation possible!
Push/pull shapes the audio differently in the studio and live. Recording in DI? Activate the preamp to give depth to the mix.
On stage, passive mode provides a more natural grain. This flexibility avoids having to lug around an effects rack unnecessarily.
The PortaBag and the included tools are smart additions. Always practical to have something to adjust your instrument at hand.
