By building his own electronics, Roger succeeded in improving the sound of a traditional P\/J bass with that special Sadowsky tone: Never harsh or shrill. Strong, powerful bass that is never muddy. Present, but not too aggressive, mids and a sweet and airy treble range. This 5-string P\/J bass features a sleek, undersized J-Style body made of chambered American Swamp Ash finished in a '59 Burst Transparent High Polish finish. The neck is made of American Maple and features an American Maple fingerboard. Special features of this bass include a Sadowsky P-Style neck pickup and a J-Style bridge pickup, active electronics with true bypass, Vintage Tone Control, treble and bass boost. The hardware includes light Sadowsky open gear tuners and a Sadowsky Quick String Release Bridge. The Sadowsky MetroLine 21-Fret Vintage P\/J bass is made exclusively in Germany and will never weigh more than 8.9 lbs (4.0 kg). It’s a great choice for players who want a lightweight bass with a modern P\/J bass sound.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSadowsky MetroLine 21-Fret Vintage P\/J Bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand version\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-string electric bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e34\" (864 mm) long scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBolt-on construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSleek undersized J-Style body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmerican Swamp Ash body (chambered)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaple neck (C shape)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaple fingerboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDot inlays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12\" fingerboard radius\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSadowsky Just-A-Nut III\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.875\" (47.5 mm) nut width\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut string spacing (all strings): 1.53\" \/ 39 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2.7\" (68.6 mm) neck width at 12th fret\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.1\" (78.7 mm) neck width at last fret\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.86\" (21.8 mm) neck thickness at 1st fret\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.93\" (23.6 mm) neck thickness at 12th fret\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e21 nickel silver frets (width: 0.094\" (2.4 mm) \/ height: 0.051\" (1.3 mm))\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePassive Sadowsky P-Style pickup (neck)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePassive Sadowsky hum-cancelling J-Style pickup in 60s position (bridge)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActive Sadowsky 2-way electronics (bass and treble boost) with Vintage Tone Control (VTC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls for Volume \/ Balance \/ Vintage Tone Control (P\/P) \/ Treble and Bass (stacked)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePush\/pull function at VTC knob for preamp bypass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSadowsky Quick Access Compartment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSadowsky light machine heads with open gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSadowsky S-security locks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSadowsky bridge with quick string release\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge distance between strings: 0.75\" \/ 19 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge string spacing (all strings): 2.99\" \/ 76 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChrome hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSadowsky Blue Label 045 - 130 strings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e'59 Burst Transparent High Polish finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTortoise pickguard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight ca. 8.9 lbs (4.0 kg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncl.
