A "Made in Germany" Sadowsky 5-string Designed for Efficiency
Assembled in Germany, this Sadowsky follows the line of modern performance-oriented instruments: refined ergonomics, reliable components, and immediate response. The amourette top provides a high-end visual signature, while the combination of swamp ash and roasted maple prioritizes stability and consistency, even under demanding stage conditions.
For Which Bassists and Styles?
This 5-string electric bass is aimed at intermediate to professional bassists seeking a versatile workhorse, comfortable in both studio and live settings. It easily covers funk, pop, rock, gospel, R&B, and fusion: from modern precision to more classic textures, without struggling in the mix.
The Sound
The passive hum-cancelling J-Style neck pickup emphasizes a full low end and singing mids, ideal for fingerstyle and articulated lines. The passive hum-cancelling MM bridge pickup adds punch, attack, and clear definition, perfect for tight riffs and slap. The balance control allows fine blending of the two worlds, from a more biting "growl" to a softer tone. The 2-band preamp (bass/treble) efficiently refines the EQ, and the Vintage Tone Control (push/pull) offers a very musical brightness adjustment, useful for softening a too sharp attack or recovering a more vintage grain. The swamp ash + roasted maple combination enhances clarity, projection, and sustain, with a particularly clear B string.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To stay close to the original balance, a set of Sadowsky Blue Label 045-130 strings is a coherent replacement choice. For stage and rehearsals, a standard strap will fit the classic strap buttons, and a 6.35 mm instrument cable (straight or right-angled) will ensure a reliable connection to amp, interface, or pedalboard.
