Sadowsky - MetroExpress Vintage JJ Tobacco Sunburst 5 Cordes Palissandre

The Sadowsky MetroExpress Vintage JJ Tobacco Sunburst Rosewood 5-string electric bass is beautiful.

The Tobacco Sunburst color and the parchment pickguard, it's quite a style! This vintage look, it's enough to turn heads, whether in old rock or modern funk.

On stage, it stands out. A sound that imposes itself without making noise, just what is needed!

The okoume body is pure sweetness. It heats the air in styles like R&B, with a very pleasant warmth. When it accelerates, like in fast metal, it keeps its foundation without faltering.

Each note remains crystal clear, a real treat for the ear!

The roasted maple neck and the rosewood fingerboard are solid. When the chord changes follow one another, you don't feel any brakes.

It’s like second nature, even for more technical bass lines. The fluidity is there, no hitches in the playing.

The Sadowsky J-Style pickups are passive, but with the active electronics, you have some leeway. During a very muscular set, you push the mids for a more punchy sound, without losing clarity.

You can really adjust the bass to have body while remaining clear. It’s a fine and effective balancing act.

And when you go from an intimate acoustic stage to a vibrant rock club, the push/pull function is your ally. You boost the gain, you capture attention, while maintaining a nice definition.

The preamp does the job, ready to adapt to the volume and space, without ever weakening.
