By engineering and creating his own electronics, Roger succeeded in improving the sound of a J\/J bass with that special Sadowsky tone: Never harsh or shrill sounding. Bass that is strong and powerful but never muddy. Mids that are present but not too aggressive and a treble range that is sweet and airy. This 5-string left-hand bass features a sleek, undersized J-Style body made of chambered American Swamp Ash with an Almond Sunburst Transparent Satin finish. The neck is made of American Maple and features an American Maple fingerboard. Special features of this bass include Sadowsky J-Style pickups, active electronics with true bypass, Vintage Tone Control, treble and bass boost. The hardware includes light open gear Sadowsky tuners and a Sadowsky Quick String Release Bridge. Made exclusively in Germany, a Sadowsky MetroLine 21-Fret Vintage J\/J bass will never weigh more than 8.9 lbs (4.0 kg). It's a great choice for players who want a lightweight bass that offers a modern bass sound.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: Sadowsky MetroLine 21-Fret Vintage J\/J Bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e# Strings: 5-String\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e: Left-Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 34\" (864 mm) Long Scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Shape: Sleek undersized J-Style body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Wood: American Swamp Ash, Chambered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Wood: American Maple (C-Shape, Bolt-On)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Wood: American Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlays: Black dot inlays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius: 12\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut: Sadowsky Just-A-Nut III\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Width: 1.875\" (47.5 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut String Spacing: Nut string spacing (all strings): 1.54\" \/ 39.1 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck width at 12th fret: 2.7\" \/ 68.6 mm neck width at 12th fret\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck width at last fret: 3.1\" \/ 78.7 mm neck width at last fret\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck thickness at 1st fret: 0.86\" \/ 21.8 mm neck thickness at 1st fret\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck thickness at 12th fret: 0.93\" \/ 23.6 mm neck thickness at 12th fret\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e# Frets: 21 Nickel Silver (width: 0.094\" (2.4 mm) \/ height: 0.051\" (1.3 mm))\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Pickup: Sadowsky passive hum-cancelling J-Style pickup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pickup: Sadowsky passive hum-cancelling J-Style pickup in 60s position\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreamp: Active Sadowsky 2-way electronics (bass and treble boost) with Vintage Tone Control (VTC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls: Volume \/ Balance \/ Vintage Tone Control (P\/P) \/ Treble and Bass (stacked)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePush\/Pull Function: Push\/pull function at VTC knob for preamp bypass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachine Heads: Sadowsky Light Open Gear Machine Heads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecurity Locks: Sadowsky S-Security Locks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: Sadowsky bridge with quick string release\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Total String Spacing: 2.99\" \/ 76 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware Color: Chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrings: Sadowsky Blue Label, Stainless Steel, Taperwound, 045 - 130\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Almond Sunburst Transparent Satin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: Parchment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 9 lbs (4.1 kg) or less\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtector: Sadowsky Fretboard Protector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTools: Hex key tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBag \/ Case: Sadowsky PortaBag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOther: Individual Certificate of Authenticity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade In: Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e  \" Please note: This item is a special-order product and is ordered specifically for you.
