Roger Sadowsky has made it his mission to improve an already very successful bass design even further by making a number of detail improvements. Together with the electronics he developed, he managed to raise the well-known J / J bass sound to a new level, so that today one can speak of a typical Sadowsky tone: never sounding harsh, with deep, defined, by no means muffled bass, present but not intrusive mids as well as sweet and airy highs.

Will Lee is one of the best and most requested bass players in the world, having played for Late Night / Late Show with David Letterman, Horace Silver, George Benson, Bette Middler and many more). This 5-string bass, seen here in a Solid Olympic White Polish finish, features a sleek, undersized, chambered J-Style body made of Red Alder. The slim neck is made of Maple and features a Morado (Pau Ferro) fingerboard. Also included are Sadowsky single coil J/J pickups and active electronics with true bypass, a custom made preamp built to Will Lee’s own specifications with added mid-boost (500 and 800 Hz) for more punch, plus Vintage Tone Control, treble and bass boost. This bass also features ultralight Sadowsky tuners and the Sadowsky Quick String Release Bridge. Sadowsky MetroLine Artist Line basses are made exclusively in Germany. A good choice for players who want a lightweight bass that offers a modern bass sound suited for all requirements.

The construction and quality of these German built Sadowskys, is of the highest standard which is what makes the Sadowsky Metros world class and Roger Sadowsky wouldn’t have it any other way.
