A "Vintage" Bass at the Heart of the MetroExpress Range
The MetroExpress MJ Vintage Bass is inspired by the Jazz-type basses that have marked the history of amplified music: a recognized design, effective playability, and a sonic identity designed to blend easily into a mix. In this left-handed version, it retains the "vintage" DNA while meeting the needs of today's bassists, notably thanks to the 5-string format adapted to modern tunings and extended bass lines.
For Which Bassist and Styles?
This bass is particularly aimed at intermediate to advanced bassists seeking a versatile 5-string for stage, studio, and rehearsals. Its "Vintage Jazz" profile is comfortable in funk, rock, pop, fusion, soul, and jazz, with a quick response ideal for groove and a solid low end welcome for contemporary music. It is also suitable for motivated beginners wishing to start directly on a 5-string, provided they adapt to the string spacing and management of the low string.
Sound
The 5-string format adds an extension into the low register that enhances the impact of bass lines and facilitates positions without excessive shifting. The rosewood fingerboard is known for offering a comfortable touch and a slightly warmer tonal color, with less sharp highs than a maple fingerboard, helping to achieve a round and musical sound. With its "MJ vintage" inspiration, this bass aims for a balance between definition, attack, and foundation, allowing a transition from clean fingerstyle playing to dynamic slap without losing clarity.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To choose perfectly compatible accessories (5-string strings, strap, gig bag, or case), it is recommended to first check the scale length and the exact dimensions of the instrument to ensure appropriate string length and case size.
