Sadowsky MetroLine 21-Fret Standard J/J Bass, Limited Edition 2023, 4-String, Majestic Red Transparent Satin

The Sadowsky MetroLine 21-Fret Standard J/J Bass 2023 Limited Edition delivers the renowned Sadowsky tone and playability in a striking Majestic Red Transparent Satin finish over a quilted mahogany top.

Limited to just 125 pieces worldwide, this 4-string bass pairs a lightweight Okume body with a roasted maple C-profile neck and Honduras rosewood fingerboard, creating a resonant, articulate instrument with a fast, comfortable feel.

Two Sadowsky hum-canceling J-style pickups feed into the proven Sadowsky 2-way active preamp with bass and treble boost, complemented by the Vintage Tone Control (VTC) that rolls off highs for classic passive-style warmth — and a push/pull bypass lets you go fully passive when the moment calls for it. Gold hardware, Sadowsky light open-gear tuners, and S-Security strap locks round out a bass built for both the stage and the studio.
