Essential Information About the Sadowsky MetroLine 5-String MM/J Bass

  • Premium Roasted Woods: roasted maple neck and roasted birdseye maple fingerboard for increased stability, attack, and precision.
  • Versatile MM/J Hum-Cancelling: J-style neck pickup + MM bridge pickup, exemplary silence, and a wide palette from fingerstyle to slap.
  • Sadowsky Electronics: 2-band preamp with "Vintage Tone Control" push/pull for true passive mode.
  • German Craftsmanship: swamp ash body with amourette top, natural satin finish, made in Germany.

From the New York Workshop to the German MetroLine

Designed in the spirit of Roger Sadowsky's New York instruments, this MetroLine version made in Germany incorporates the features that have built the brand's reputation: impeccable ergonomics, lightweight, simple and effective electronics. The choice of an amourette top highlights the high-end positioning of this 5-string model.

For Whom and Which Styles?

Ideal for intermediate to professional bassists seeking a responsive and reliable 5-string. Its MM/J configuration effortlessly covers pop, rock, funk, gospel, fusion, and urban music. Both in the studio and on stage, the roasted neck precision and 34" scale length ensure a tight and clear B string.

Sound

Swamp ash delivers firm lows and airy highs, while the amourette adds density and articulation. The roasted birdseye maple fingerboard enhances attack and midrange definition. The Sadowsky hum-cancelling pickups provide a warm, woody J-style neck pickup and a punchy, percussive MM bridge pickup. The 2-band preamp (bass/treble boost) works hand in hand with the VTC to sculpt the upper spectrum or, via push/pull, switch to passive mode for a more organic tone. The result: an instrument with generous sustain, very low noise floor, and great ease in cutting through the mix without harshness.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

Delivered with the Sadowsky Portabag gig bag. To maintain the original feel and balance, choose a set of Sadowsky Blue Label 045-130 5-string long scale 34" strings. A wide, non-slip strap will suit all basses with standard strap locks, providing better comfort during long performances.
