An "MJ Vintage Bass" in the spirit of great stage basses
With its "MJ Vintage Bass" designation, this model follows a familiar and effective approach: a bass designed to hold the mix, support the drums, and remain precise across the entire range. The Metroexpress series emphasizes the essentials expected from a stage and studio instrument: playing comfort, definition, and consistent response, while maintaining a sober and professional aesthetic.
For which bassists and styles?
This bass is particularly aimed at intermediate to advanced bassists seeking a 5-string capable of handling varied sets. The additional low string is ideal for modern tunings and styles where the low end is crucial: gospel, R&B, contemporary pop, modern rock, funk, and urban music. The 21 frets also provide more freedom for fills, solo parts, and lines that ascend the neck.
The sound
On an electric bass, the sonic personality comes from the combination of luthiery + electronics, directly impacting attack, sustain, and note clarity. Here, the maple fingerboard is generally associated with a more articulate response, with present highs and good attack definition, useful for ghost notes and pick playing. The 5-string format requires solid low-end sustain: the goal is to achieve a well-defined low B string capable of remaining precise in a dense mix. The 21 frets complete the package by facilitating more melodic playing without leaving comfortable positions, while retaining a "vintage" feel in approach and dynamics.
