Roger Sadowsky has always enhanced bass design with some very unique and important improvements. Thanks to his proprietary electronics, lightweight tuners, and select tonewoods, Roger brings you the fretless Sadowsky MetroExpress 21-Fret Vintage J/J 5-String Bass, an instrument equally at home on stage and at home. Features of this fretless bass include a lightweight, solid okoume body equipped with J/J pickups, a Tobacco Sunburst Transparent High Polish finish with a parchment pickguard, a roasted maple neck, and a fretless morado fingerboard with full lines. It's a fantastic-looking and playable bass, and we're sure you'll love playing it! Best of all, the affordable price gives you access to the renowned Sadowsky tone: never harsh or shrill, with strong, powerful, yet never muddy bass, present but not overly aggressive midrange, and a sweet, airy treble.
