The Sadowsky DNA, Between New York Heritage and German Precision
Designed and manufactured in Germany, this Sadowsky combines the brand's iconic sonic spirit with particularly rigorous assembly quality. The swamp ash provides a dynamic and airy foundation, while the amourette top enhances visual identity and immediate response. The roasted maple neck, highly valued for its stability, is reassuring both on tour and in the studio, offering a clear and consistent playing feel across the entire neck.
A 5-String Designed for Stage, Studio, and Modern Contexts
This bass targets intermediate to professional bassists seeking a precise, quiet, and versatile 5-string. It excels in pop, funk, rock, gospel, fusion, and session work, delivering solid fundamentals on the B string as well as highly articulated lines. Whether you play fingerstyle, slap, or with a pick, the balance between definition, punch, and spectrum control facilitates placement in the mix.
The Sound
The J-Style hum-cancelling pickup in the neck position favors roundness and clarity in the low end, with clean definition to support the groove without muddiness. At the bridge, the MM hum-cancelling pickup offers a tighter attack, rich in mids, ideal for "cutting through" in a band, slapping, or achieving a more incisive pick tone. The Sadowsky electronics emphasize dynamics and clarity, with quick and effective controls (volume, balance, "Vintage Tone Control" push/pull, bass, and treble). The combination of swamp ash and roasted maple promotes a responsive sound, strong projection, and generous sustain, while the 12" / 304.8 mm radius and 21 frets ensure smooth, precise, and comfortable playability across the fingerboard.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Already delivered with the Sadowsky Portabag gig bag, this 5-string will easily accommodate a 5-string long scale 34" / 864 mm standard ball-end string set, a wide non-slip strap, a clip-on chromatic tuner, and a bass stand (type A or tripod). These essential, universal, and reliable accessories improve comfort, stability, and daily maintenance.
