Essential Information About the Sadowsky MetroLine NEBULA 5-String Bass

  • 2023 Special Edition "Nebula" limited to 50 pieces worldwide (combined 4 and 5 strings), featuring a spectacular green/blue finish with darkening.
  • Modern 24-fret format and 5 strings for an extended range, full access to the high notes, and stage ergonomics.
  • Premium woods: red alder body with poplar burl top, bolt-on maple neck, morado fingerboard for precise attack and controlled sustain.
  • Sadowsky Soapbar pickups and 2-band active preamp with VTC for a modern palette, from tight groove to snapping slap.

A "Nebula" Edition Designed to Mark 2023

Conceived by Nicolas Wilfer, the MetroLine NEBULA celebrates Sadowsky's aesthetics and modernity with a strictly limited series. Each instrument stands out with its poplar burl veneer and glossy "Nebula" finish, while the deep black back enhances the premium contrast.

For Which Bassist?

Tailored for intermediate to expert bassists, this 5-string meets the demands of both studio and stage. Its articulation and dynamic reserve suit funk, pop, rock, fusion, R&B/gospel, and modern metal, with a firm and clear low B in the mix.

The Sound

The pair of Sadowsky Soapbars in modern position delivers tight lows, structured mids, and silky highs. The 2-band active preamp allows precise bass and treble boosts, while the VTC acts as a passive treble cut to soften the upper spectrum or simulate a more vintage tone. The 34" scale length ensures optimal tension for the low B, and the 24 frets open up melodies in the high register without compromising sustain. The alder/morado/maple combination provides a clear attack, excellent note definition, and remarkable versatility.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To preserve balance and response, opt for a 5-string long scale 34" string set in gauges .045-.130 (e.g., Sadowsky Blue Label), perfectly suited to this MetroLine. A wider strap (5-8 cm) will provide comfort and stability during long performances.
