Meticulously crafted in Germany, the MetroLine 21-fret Vintage M/J bass is a stellar example of Sadowsky's decades-long tradition of industry-leading design and elite craftsmanship.Top-level construction Over the past four-plus decades, Roger Sadowsky has garnered a reputation as one of the industry's foremost master craftsmen. Once you pick up the MetroLine 21-fret Vintage M/J bass, you'll immediately understand why. This top-level electric bass guitar is built around a lightweight American red alder body with body-hugging contours that guarantee playing comfort, even during extended sessions. The MetroLine Vintage's 34-inch long-scale design and bolt-on construction will feel instantly familiar to vintage bass aficionados, while its 12-inch-radius fingerboard, which is crowned by 21 nickel-silver frets, ensures a silky-smooth feel and lightning-fast playability. The MetroLine Vintage also brandishes top-of-the-line hardware, such as a Just a Nut III for impossibly low action, a rock-solid bridge with quick string release, ultra-reliable light open-gear tuning machines, and stress-free S-security locks.Thunderous pickups and active electronics The Sadowsky MetroLine 21-fret Vintage M/J bass packs a thunderous punch by virtue of a J-style neck pickup and an MM-style bridge humbucker. Together, these hum-canceling pickups deliver an ear-grabbing blend of low-end fatness and crispy-sounding midrange whether you're going DI or plugged into a massive amp stack. The bassists here at Sweetwater appreciate the added sonic flexibility supplied by this bass guitar's 2-way active preamp, which includes volume, balance, and stacked treble and bass controls. You also get a Vintage Tone Control (VTC) knob that rolls off your high end as you dial it down. To top it off, a push-pull pot on the VTC knob allows you to bypass the MetroLine Vintage's active preamp for lower-output applications.Expertly crafted in Germany Sadowsky MetroLine instruments are manufactured in a climate-neutral facility in Germany. Sadowsky basses are known for their light weight, and tonewoods are carefully chosen to ensure that each model weighs no more than 8.9 pounds. Many of the player-centric design enhancements Roger Sadowsky developed for his custom instruments, such as sleek, undersized bodies, come standard on MetroLine instruments. These appointments result in outstanding Sadowsky tone, distinguished by excellent definition, robust presence, and extraordinary sweetness. MetroLine instruments also boast hum-canceling pickups and Sadowsky's renowned active electronics.
