Verdine White is one of the most recognizable bassist know for playing groovy funk bass lines for more than 50 years. Sadowsky has distilled that tone into the MetroExpress Verdine White Artist Line bass thanks to the light-weight Okoume body (available exclusively in Olympic White High Polish), hum-cancelling P/J pickups and an active 2-way preamp. Other features include a roasted maple neck, morado fingerboard, the precise Sadowsky machine heads and the quick string release bridge, all designed to make this bass extremely quick and easy to play!
