Here you’ll find value and quality banded into one harmoniously grooving instrument that offers an okoume body, roasted maple neck, pau ferro fingerboard, and stunning J-style character all around. Sadowsky appointments like an onboard 2-band preamp, Just-A-Nut, and growling passive shielded J-style pickups make this a phenomenal bass in the hands of serious beginners and working musicians alike. Sitting at the crossroads of timeless tone and cutting-edge functionality, the Sadowsky MetroExpress 21-fret Vintage JJ Bass is calling your name.

Classic contours, vintage appeal, and modern hardware

Revered for sublime tone, proprietary electronics, and delightful playability, a Sadowsky MetroExpress supplies everything you need to seriously groove. An okoume body with classically recognizable contours sets up a solid tonal foundation while a bolt-on roasted maple neck with a smooth natural oil finish sets you up for lightning-quick runs across its length. A capable pau ferro fingerboard features a comfortable radius of 12 inches and 21 nickel-silver frets along its 34-inch scale length. The Sadowsky MetroExpress line is embellished with the company's proprietary Just-A-Nut, making nut adjustments as easy as turning a screw. Also included is the rock-solid Sadowsky quick-release bridge system to gift this bass effortless adjustability on top of its killer tonal capabilities. Other features like ultra-reliable light open-gear tuning machines, stress-free S-security locks, and chrome hardware add the finishing touches to this stunning vintage-inspired Sadowsky MetroExpress bass.

Rich-sounding J-style pickups and active electronics

The Sadowsky MetroExpress 21-fret Vintage JJ Bass is equipped with two passive shielded Single-coil J pickups for classic J-style thump and growl. These hum-canceling pickups give you the space to rock out unfettered by pesky hum, yet they remain equipped with rich, full tone. Sweetwater bassists laud the sonic flexibility supplied by this bass guitar's 2-way active preamp, which includes volume, reverse blend, bass, and treble controls. A push-pull pot on the bass knob allows you to activate and deactivate the active preamp as you see fit.
