Sadowsky MasterBuilt 24-Fret Modern Bass
The Sadowsky MasterBuilt 2025 Limited Edition 24-Fret Modern Bass is an ultra-exclusive bass of which only 35 pieces will be made, 4- and 5-String combined. These truly unique basses feature a two-piece Roasted American Swamp Ash body with a AAAAA Koa top and a Roasted American Flamed Maple Neck with a Black Ebony fingerboard. These basses are finished in a Natural Transparent High Polish finish to really let the beauty of the wood shine through. The body is sleek and undersized with a two octave note range and deeper cutaways. The incredible Sadowsky tone comes from the two passive Sadowsky Soapbar pickups, each featuring a brushed black chrome cover, as well as the active 2-way Sadowsky electronics with true bypass, Vintage Tone Control plus treble and bass boost. Hardware includes Sadowsky Ultra Light machine heads that weigh approx. 170g and a Sadowsky Quick String Release bridge. Each 2025 Limited Edition Sadowsky MasterBuilt 24-Fret Modern Bass is made exclusively in our workshop in Germany.
