The Sadowsky MetroExpress Vintage JJ Tobacco Sunburst electric bass doesn't go unnoticed.

The okoume assembly and the Sadowsky J-Style passive pickups merge warmth and clarity. Depending on the style, it adapts without fail, whether for funk lines or hard-hitting rock riffs.

The tone is round, but with a punch that sends heavy, especially when you push the preamp a little.

The push/pull button to bypass the preamp? It's a real gem.

In jazz or blues, this little twist is optimal for obtaining a more natural tone. Just pull to go from something very colorful to a rawer sound.

The bass and treble controls are your best allies on stage.

You like to keep a good base, but you don't hesitate to tweak the tone according to the song. You have the right model in front of you.

A little bass tap for a little extra “tac” or a boost in the treble to cut through the other instruments.

Locking tuners are a boon when it comes to tuning stability. After hours of playing, or even touring sessions, the tuning holds without flinching.

This is a plus for stress-free performances.

The maple neck and rosewood fingerboard work wonders. The sustain is flawless, and the audio clarity is breathtaking.

Compared to other basses, this one retains its character longer.

And with the PortaBag and hex tools, you’re ready for anything. They’re super handy for traveling and last-minute adjustments.
