Electric Bass

The Sadowsky MetroExpress Vintage JJ Olympic White 5 String Maple Electric Bass is designed for picky bassists. At 4.8 kg, this instrument fits like a second skin. Not too heavy, not too light, it stays in place for hours of playing. The strap is responsible for distributing the weight well, so the shoulder does not suffer. And the Sadowsky Light tuners lighten the head, giving this model optimal balance. Even standing during a long set, you do not feel any discomfort. The instrument adapts to you, so you can play comfortably, without having to think about it.

The Sadowsky MetroExpress Vintage JJ Olympic White 5 String Maple Electric Bass has an advantageous construction.

With its roasted maple neck, this reference remains stable, no matter the temperature. In hot or cold places, it does not move an iota.

You can play with confidence, without fear of the wood warping!

The Olympic White color stands out without problem under the spotlights. When the light hits, it sparkles like a diamond. Under subdued light, it takes on an almost muted shade.

The tortoiseshell pickguard contrasts well with this bright white. A real beauty that charms many artists.

The 19 mm spacing between the strings allows freedom of fingerstyle playing. For slap fans, each note bounces pleasantly.

If you come from a bass with tighter spacing, the adaptation is immediate. The fingers move more naturally.

The included gig bag is a bonus for mobile artists. It is lightweight and practical, it is optimal for your travels. If you go on tour, it offers you this security.

When traveling, it protects better from shocks and jolts. A small shock on a gig bag? No worries. Your instrument is safe.

The passive J-Style pickups provide brutal clarity, but with the active key, the tone becomes more punchy.

In active mode, you get a powerful sound that is ideal for solos. In passive, the tone remains softer and more natural. Perfect for subtle grooves!

The Sadowsky bridge simplifies string changes, especially in the middle of a concert. In the blink of an eye, you switch to a heavier gauge without wasting time.

Simple, fast and practical, as it should be!
