A Sadowsky Bass Designed for Efficiency in Playing Situations
This 4-string Sadowsky bass relies on a proven formula: comfortable craftsmanship, optimized hardware, and a very versatile P/J configuration. It embodies the "stage instrument" spirit: immediate playability, clear controls, and a sound that remains clear in a mix, whether in rehearsal, studio, or live performance.
Who Is It For, and Which Styles?
Thanks to its long scale and 21 frets, it suits both intermediate bassists looking for a reliable main bass and advanced musicians who want an effective, no-fuss tool. The P/J configuration is particularly comfortable in rock, pop, funk, gospel, and variety styles: from round, solid lows on the neck side to tighter, more articulated attacks on the bridge side.
Sound Characteristics
The okoumé body promotes a pleasant balance between warmth and clarity, with a quick response that helps maintain control in the low end. The roasted maple bolt-on neck enhances attack and precision, while the maple fingerboard adds extra presence in the mid-high frequencies. On the electronics side, the pair of passive Sadowsky P-Style (neck) and Sadowsky J-Style (bridge) pickups allows you to shape the tone: full, thick P-style sound or defined, biting J-style tone, with a very useful balance control to blend them. The Bass / Treble EQ provides immediate adjustment to suit the amp, style, and venue.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Since this bass comes with a 34" scale, a set of long scale bass strings with a gauge of 045-105 in stainless steel will perfectly restore the original feel and attack.
