Electric Bass

With its Okoume body and roasted maple neck, the Sadowsky MetroExpress Vintage JJ Sage Green Metallic 5 String bass has a certain punch. The low notes resonate like a good old whiskey: rich and full of character. When you climb into the treble, the clarity is there, very present, without ever being distorted. As for the roasted neck, it is concrete. In full madness on stage, it does not shake, it remains stable as a rock. In the studio or in concert, it holds up to any test. And what's more, for your live performances abroad, the Sadowsky PortaBag is an asset!

ARTICLE N° 103005
The Sadowsky Vintage JJ Sage Green Metallic 5 String Electric Bass is part of the MetroExpress series.

Its Sadowsky Light tuners with open gear? A real gem. During concerts, you sometimes have to quickly adjust the tuning. With them, you never have any bad surprises!

A quick turn of the key and presto, everything is in its place. Even when the temperature or humidity play spoilsport, they remain faithful. It's the kind of detail that saves the day in the middle of a show.

The 2-band active electronics, with the push/pull to bypass the preamp, are a real game-changer.

Imagine: you are in a large room, the acoustics are a little crazy, and suddenly, the sound becomes too dense. A quick press of the button, and voilà, you get good clarity.

It's like having a joker up your sleeve, just when you need it!

And that push/pull on the bass, then?

It's a boost when you want to make the sound breathe. You have that moment where you change tone in the blink of an eye, without ever losing the thread of the song.

You're there, in the middle of the live, and the bass transforms according to what the room demands. It's pure magic!

The 21 nickel silver frets? A solid base. They don't move, even after a day of non-stop playing.

And you always take a little time after each concert to give them a little polish. Nothing complicated, but it keeps everything clean and neat.

The stainless steel strings (045 - 135) hold up. For a rock riff or a jazzy line, they are always there. And that Sage Green Metallic color... It shines under the spotlights, but without throwing tantrums.
