All features of this modern bass sound can also be found on the MetroLine artist model of Will Lee, one of the best and most requested bass players in the world (Late Night / Late Show with David Letterman, Horace Silver, George Benson, Bette Middler and many more). The 4-string version – seen here in Natural Transparent Satin finish, features a sleek undersized J-Style red alder body, a J/J pickup configuration, active electronics with true bypass, a custom made preamp according to the specifications of Will Lee with added mid-boost (500 and 800 Hz) to get more punch, Vintage Tone Control, treble and bass boost, ultralight Sadowsky tuners and the special Sadowsky bridge for quick string release.
