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 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 with a 1.875\" \/ 47.5 mm wide nut and features an American Maple fingerboard. String spacing at the bridge is 0.71\" \/ 18 mm and the distance between all of the strings is 2.83\" \/ 72 mm. 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: Right-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\u003eFinish: 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","brand":"Sadowsky Basses","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52191683707168,"sku":"SML21VJ5 49 ASH FR  052526","price":4600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.wiremeetswood.com\/products\/sadowsky-metroline-21-fret-vintage-j-j-bass-swamp-ash-body-5-string-almond-sunburst-transparent-satin","provider":"Wire Meets Wood Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
