The Olympic White color of the Sadowsky MetroExpress Vintage JJ 5 String Rosewood electric bass is love at first sight.

Under the spotlight, it shines like a diamond. It attracts all eyes without fail. It has this discreet class, which imposes itself without warning.

The 21 nickel silver frets? It's pure joy. They open up a wide field of action, which is optimal for improvising to the max. When you launch into a solo, you feel a little freer.

The instrument optimizes your playing - each note finds its place, whether on a rock riff or a cooler jazz passage.

The roasted maple neck and the rosewood fingerboard are the winning duo. The touch is as soft as a caress and ultra-responsive as a spring.

Fast runs slide by themselves, and even the most detailed sequences are done without forcing. This model does the job without ever flinching.

The okoume, with its resonance, has something magical. In a mix, it makes itself heard without taking up all the space.

It imposes itself without worry, even in rooms with somewhat capricious acoustics. The output adapts and remains clear, a bit like a sound chameleon.

The Sadowsky J-Style passive microphones provide a pure, raw, no-nonsense tone. In the studio, that's all you want!

The active microphones do a very good job too. But sometimes, a natural sound, without frills, is what makes the difference. It's real sound, nothing more and that's what this reference promises you!

And the 19 mm string spacing? A real treat for slap. It makes fast notes clear and precise. But for fingerstyle, it's just as fluid.

Every style, every touch, finds its place on this instrument – ​​it never lets you down.
