【new】Sadowsky / MX21 VJ5 TBT/R 4.16kg #SMX J 000351-25【GIB Hyogo】

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 Express was manufactured in Japan, but as Warwick took over the distribution of Sadowsky products, manufacturing shifted to a factory in China.

While keeping the selling price down, high quality is maintained, making it a very unique product in its price range.

This is the MX21 VJ5, a 5-string model adopting the classic JB style.

The body is made of lightweight solid Okoume, the neck is made of Roasted Maple, and the fingerboard is made of Morado (Pau Ferro).

This is a standard combination in the MX series.

The construction has been thoroughly considered for excellent body balance and sound projection, resulting in a very refined balance that is comfortable to hold.

The back of the neck has a satin finish, providing a smooth and pleasant feel.

The pickups are passive hum-cancelling Sadowsky stacked J-Style pickups.

While retaining the sharp, crisp attack characteristic of JB-type basses, the hum-cancellation suppresses noise, resulting in a clear sound.

The preamp features the familiar 2-band EQ.

Bass and treble frequencies can be significantly boosted with simple controls.

The preamp can also be bypassed via a push/pull knob.

The preamp's circuit board is almost identical to that of top-of-the-line models priced around 1 million yen.

Copper foil shielding is also applied, resulting in surprisingly low noise.

These points are extremely significant advantages when choosing an MX series bass.

Even at this price point, Roger Sadowsky's uncompromising dedication to instrument making is evident.

While offering the ultra-smooth playability characteristic of Sadowsky, the sound is truly that of a refined JB. This bass delivers a modern tone that stands out in an ensemble, with rich harmonics, crisp highs perfect for slap bass, and a tight, well-tuned Low-B note that blends seamlessly.

Based on the traditional JB bass, this instrument incorporates modern elements, reflecting Roger Sadowsky's philosophy.
