This 5-string bass has a chambered Swamp Ash body. Seen here in an Ocean Blue Transparent Satin finish, the body shape is sleek and undersized with deeper cutaways for better playability and a full two octave note range. The neck is made from American Maple and has an American Maple fretboard with 24 nickel silver frets. This bass is fitted with two passive Sadowsky Soapbar pickups, both in a modern position, and has active electronics that offer true bypass, Vintage Tone Control, as well as treble and bass boost. Hardware includes Sadowsky light open gear tuners and a Sadowsky Quick String Release bridge. Each Sadowsky MetroLine 24-Fret Modern Bass is made exclusively in our workshop in Germany and weighs no more than 8.9 lbs (4.0 kg). A good choice for bass players who are seaching for a light, modern looking bass with that special modern Sadowsky sound.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: Sadowsky MetroLine 24-Fret Modern 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 body with two octave note range and deeper cutaways\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: 24 Nickel Silver (width: 0.094\" (2.4 mm) \/ height: 0.051\" (1.3 mm))\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Pickup: Sadowsky passive Soapbar in modern position\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pickup: Sadowsky passive Soapbar in modern 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: Ocean Blue Transparent Satin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: None\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.
