This Sadowsky MetroExp21 is a seriously refined fretless bass, perfect for players seeking a vintage-inspired tone with modern versatility. The JJ pickups nail that classic J-bass growl, while the active preamp adds some extra punch. It’s a great option for funk, soul, and any genre where a warm, articulate fretless tone is essential.
