A MetroLine Limited Edition designed as a collectible piece... made to play
This 2024 limited edition highlights the Sadowsky DNA: a precise, comfortable instrument resolutely oriented towards stage and studio use. The luthiery combines an okoumé body with a marbled padauk top, and a roasted maple bolt-on neck with a C profile: a coherent setup for a responsive, stable bass that feels great under the fingers without sacrificing character.
For whom and in which styles?
This 4-string electric bass is aimed at intermediate to expert bassists seeking a high-end versatile bass capable of covering various registers. Its compact J-Style format, long scale length, and flexible electronics suit funk (attack, dynamics), pop and rock (foundation, precision), as well as studio contexts requiring clean definition and controlled noise.
The sound
The combination of okoumé body and roasted maple neck promotes a quick response, with a clear attack and well-sustained sustain, while the Madagascar rosewood fingerboard provides a more organic feel and natural warmth in the mids. Regarding pickups, the noise-cancelling stacked J-Style at the neck delivers clear articulation without hum, and the M-Style Alnico V humbucker at the bridge adds density, impact, and character. The Sadowsky 2-band preamp (bass/treble boost) instantly broadens the frequency curve, and the VTC (with push/pull to bypass the preamp) offers a quick switch between bright modern tones and vintage warmth.
