  • Details
  • The Sadowsky Limited-edition MetroLine 24-fret Modern Bass is a boutique-grade 5-string electric bass guitar with the lightweight playability and flexible electronics that professional players demand. The MetroLine Modern is built around a sleek, chambered American red alder body with a gorgeous, highly figured solid poplar burl top. A bolt-on maple neck and a fast-playing 12-inch-radius, 24-fret fingerboard provide a platform optimized for solid grooves and fast technical runs. Spec’d with a pair of Sadowsky soapbar dual-coil pickups and 2-band preamp with the company’s lauded Vintage Tone Control, this limited-edition bass is an absolute tone beast, pumping out impossibly fat low end and crisp mid/high growl — a potent sonic elixir with the power to plow through thick arrangements and hold its own in any mix. Meticulously crafted in Germany, this MetroLine Modern looks, plays, and sounds like a custom bass without the wait time and price tag associated with custom-built instruments. The Sadowsky Limited MetroLine 24-fret Modern Bass 5-string is only available in small numbers worldwide, so snag this one while you can!

    Premium pickups and active electronics

    The Sadowsky MetroLine 24-fret Modern Bass packs a thunderous punch by virtue of a set of passive Sadowsky dual-coil soapbar pickups. These high-octane pickups deliver muscular low end, aggressive mids, and sweet highs whether you’re going DI or plugged into a massive amp stack. The bassists here at Sweetwater appreciate the added sonic flexibility supplied by this bass guitar’s 2-band active preamp, which includes Volume, Reverse Blend, a Bass/Treble EQ pot, and Sadowsky’s Vintage Tone Control (VTC), which rolls off highs end as you dial it back. Additionally, the VTC knob is push-pull, allowing you to bypass the active preamp for fully passive operation.

    High-end boutique quality

    Over the past four-plus decades, Roger Sadowsky has garnered a reputation as one of the industry's foremost master craftsmen. Once you pick up the MetroLine 24-fret Modern Bass, you'll immediately understand why. This impressive electric bass guitar is built around a lightweight chambered American red alder body with a sleek shape that guarantees playing comfort, even during extended sessions. The MetroLine Modern's 34-inch long-scale design and bolt-on construction will feel instantly familiar to vintage bass aficionados. Meanwhile, its 12-inch-radius fingerboard, which is crowned by 24 nickel-silver frets, ensures a silky-smooth feel and lightning-fast playability. The MetroLine Modern Bass also boasts top-of-the-line hardware, such as a Just a Nut III made of Tedur for ultra-low action, a rock-solid bridge with quick string release, ultra-reliable light open-gear tuning machines, and stress-free S-security locks.
