Sadowsky Guitars MetroExpress 22-Fret Will Lee Artist Line 5-String Bass, Morado Fingerboard - Black

Roger Sadowsky has always improved bass design by making some very unique and important enhancements. Thanks to his proprietary special electronics, light-weight tuners and selected tone wood, Roger offers you the 5-String Sadowsky MetroExpress 22-Fret Will Lee Artist Line Bass, an instrument at home both on stage and at home. Features include a light-weight solid Okoume body fitted with J/J pickups and with a roasted maple neck and a morado fingerboard. One special feature is the slightly narrower 1.75" / 44.5 mm nut width compared to other Sadowsky 5-String basses. String spacing at the bridge is 0.71" / 18 mm and the distance between all of the strings is 2.83" / 72 mm. Together this makes one formidable bass that you are going to love to play! Best of all, the accessible price gives you access to that famous Sadowsky tone: Never harsh or shrill sounding, with strong, powerful but never muddy bass, with present, but not too aggressive mids, and a sweet, airy treble.
