The Sadowsky MetroExpress Vintage J/J 5-String Bass delivers the unmistakable clarity, articulation, and punch of a classic dual J-style pickup configuration, enhanced by Roger Sadowsky’s renowned electronics and design innovations. Finished in a timeless Solid Olympic White High Polish with a tortoise pickguard, this bass combines vintage aesthetics with modern performance and reliability.
Built around a lightweight solid Okoume body, the MetroExpress Vintage J/J offers exceptional comfort and resonance while maintaining excellent balance during long performances. The roasted maple neck and roasted maple fingerboard provide outstanding stability, smooth playability, and enhanced tonal response.
Equipped with two passive hum-cancelling J-style pickups, including a bridge pickup positioned in the classic 60s location, this bass delivers articulate lows, focused mids, and sweet, detailed highs. The onboard active Sadowsky 2-way preamp provides bass and treble boost for additional tonal shaping, while the push/pull bypass function allows instant switching between active and passive operation.
Whether you’re playing jazz, funk, fusion, pop, gospel, rock, or modern contemporary styles, the MetroExpress Vintage J/J delivers the signature Sadowsky sound: powerful lows, balanced mids, and airy highs without harshness.
