The MetroLine 21-4 Vin is a serious contender for players wanting a refined, modern J-bass vibe.

This bass is a fantastic choice for session players, gigging musicians, and anyone who appreciates a clear, articulate tone with a touch of vintage warmth.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Sadowsky MM pickup has a slightly more refined, less aggressive edge than a typical Music Man pickup, with a smoother high-end response.
The 'C' profile is fairly standard and generally comfortable, but the 56.3mm width at the 12th fret might feel a little snug for players with very large hands.
The Sadowsky 2-band EQ is very clean and well-implemented, so it adds a subtle boost without introducing significant noise or coloration to the signal.
