Made in Germany in the Warwick workshops, the SADOWSKY MetroLine 21-Fret Vintage J/J Bass, Swamp Ash, 4-String (SML21VJ4 23 ASH FR) reinterprets to perfection a benchmark American solidbody electric bass.
It’s a top-of-the-range instrument designed for professional musicians looking for an instrument at the crossroads between timeless vintage and modern flexibility, qualitatively irreproachable and 100% reliable.
It can be used in a wide variety of musical registers (Blues, Jazz, Funk, Rock, Reggae…) and playing styles (finger, pick or slap).

The luthiery combines a Swamp Ash body, a bolt-on Maple neck and a Maple fingerboard (set with 21 frets). A traditional platform that generates an acoustic base that is both full and responsive, precise and solid. Dynamic lows, well-balanced mids and crystal-clear highs.

The Sadowski Vintage J/J Bass is equipped with Sadowsky Hum-cancelling J-Style passive pickups that produce warm, expressive tones without background noise.
The Sadowski active preamp is both simple and versatile. The VTC (Vintage Tone Control) filter effectively supports traditional tone controls by attenuating high frequencies to give your tones an authentic vintage temperament (a bit like having a passive bass). The VTC potentiometer is push/pull, allowing the circuit to be deactivated for an even more organic sound.
