Description
Roger Sadowsky didn’t set out to reinvent the J-bass — he set out to perfect it. Years of refining the electronics by hand gave him a signature tone that’s become the benchmark for modern J-bass players: lows that are deep and controlled rather than boomy, mids that sit forward without getting harsh, and a top end that stays sweet even when you dig in hard on stage. That’s the DNA baked into every 21-Fret Vintage J/J bass in the MetroExpress line, and this Ice Blue Metallic High Polish example is no exception.
What separates this build from a standard J-bass is the weight. Sadowsky keeps these MetroExpress basses under 9.5 lbs (4.3 kg), which matters more than it sounds like until you’ve played a three-set night. Less strain on your shoulder and back means you’re focused on the pocket, not your posture by the last song.
This particular version pairs the eye-catching Ice Blue Metallic High Polish finish with a parchment pickguard and a maple fingerboard — a combo that gives the bass a snappy, articulate feel under the fingers while still delivering that classic Sadowsky low-end warmth.
