For sale Sadowsky MetroLine Verdine White 4-String - Olympic White

This bass is a stunning MINT condition 8.5 lb. bass only removed from my non-smoking home three times as I was already retired when I bought this bass. Roger Sadowsky's further improves an already very successful bass design by making a number of detailed improvements. Along with the electronics, which he developed by himself, he succeeded to raise the well-known P/J bass sound to a new level, so today you can speak of a typical Sadowsky tone: Never harsh or shrill sounding, with strong, powerful but never muddy bass, with present, but not too aggressive mids, and a sweet and airy treble range. All features of this modern bass sound can also be found on the MetroLine artist model of Verdine White, famous bass player of "Earth, Wind & Fire", a band whose sound is significantly shaped by his powerful bass sound. The 4-string Verdine White Bass features a Solid Olympic White High Polish finish, a P/J pickup configuration, active electronics with true bypass, Vintage Tone Control, treble and bass boost, ultralight Hipshot tuners and the special Sadowsky bridge for quick string release. The sleek undersized J-Style swamp ash body without a pickguard.
