The "Earth, Wind & Fire" DNA in a Modern Sadowsky
Designed with Verdine White, this bass captures the energy of the bass lines that shaped funk and soulful pop. Made in Germany, it belongs to the line of reference Sadowskys: meticulous finishes, reliable components, and ergonomics that support playing both on stage and in the studio.
For Whom and For What?
Ideal for intermediate to professional bassists seeking a responsive and musical instrument. Perfect for funk, soul, disco, it also excels in pop, R&B, and rock thanks to its versatile P/J configuration and vintage tone control allowing a range from a muted sound to a snapping slap.
Sound
The P/J pair delivers dense and present lows via the P-Style neck pickup, while the 60s-position J-Style hum-cancelling bridge pickup provides attack and articulation. The Vintage Tone Control tempers the highs like on a passive bass, and the treble/bass EQ offers a clean boost without noise. The red alder balances the spectrum with singing mids, and the maple neck/morado fingerboard combination ensures attack, controlled sustain, and perfect clarity for groove.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To maintain the original feel, choose a Sadowsky Blue Label 045-105 set (4 strings, long scale 34") and a standard strap with classic holes, compatible with the supplied Sadowsky S-style strap locks. The bass is delivered with a Sadowsky Portabag for transport.
