Sadowsky MetroLine 24-Fret Modern Bass
The Sadowsky MetroLine 2025 Limited Edition 24-Fret Modern Bass is an exclusive bass of which only 135 pieces will be made, 4- and 5-String, left- and right-hand combined. These unique basses feature a three-piece American Swamp Ash body with a AAA Koa top and a Roasted American Maple Neck with a Tigerstripe Ebony fingerboard. These basses are finished in a Natural Transparent Satin 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 as well as the active 2-way Sadowsky electronics with true bypass, Vintage Tone Control plus treble and bass boost. Hardware includes Sadowsky light machine heads and a Sadowsky Quick String Release bridge. Each 2025 Limited Edition Sadowsky MetroLine 24-Fret Modern Bass is made exclusively in our workshop in Germany.
