【used】Sadowsky / ML21 VJ4 ASH BLACK 2023 3.632kg #M 003662-23【GIB Yokohama】

Sadowsky is a high-end New York brand with top-tier musicians such as Marcus Miller and Will Lee as clients. (Titles omitted)

Previously, the Metroline was manufactured in Japan, but as Warwick took over the distribution of Sadowsky products, manufacturing moved to the Warwick factory in Germany.

There were concerns about a decline in quality, as the Japanese-made Metroline models were highly regarded, but these concerns are unfounded.

Compared to the Japanese-made models, the neck feels slightly thinner, and there are differences in the curvature of the body joint.

The old Metroline used a solid body.

However, this new Metroline, like the NYC models, uses a chambered body.

This makes it significantly lighter, weighing nearly 3kg, a clear advantage.

The excellent electronics produce a powerful sound even with low string action.

Playability is also excellent, making it a product with high overall potential.

The pickups are said to be different from both the old Metroline and NYC models, but they produce a refined and beautifully designed sound.

It's not peaky and is easy to handle.

A very high-quality, well-put-together masterpiece.

I actually visited the Sadowsky factory in Warwick, Germany, where they are made, and I saw a modern and rational approach to manufacturing.

Seeing the manufacturing process makes the high quality completely understandable.

Highly recommended.

The frets have approximately 80% remaining.

The truss rod is in good condition.

The neck is in good condition.

The body and paintwork have some minor scratches, but overall it's a beautiful, clean instrument.

The electronics are in good condition.

No obvious modifications were observed.

During setup, we use our original GIB BASIC / Standard Bass Strings.

These strings are characterized by their straightforward sound and stable playability, naturally bringing out the instrument's inherent character.

These are highly reliable strings that we actually use in our repair and setup workshops.

Please enjoy these strings, which aim to be a new standard for bassists.

We deliver the instrument after GIB's craftsmen have adjusted it for easy playability.
