What makes this bass a B-Stock? Well, it isn't officially a B-Stock. There is a dark line on the back of the neck. This is a natural occurring part of the wood. The neck is perfectly smooth there it is nothing that you can feel. The spot does look lighter than it appears in the photos.
We have also installed an Official Sadowsky Accessory 3-Ply Black Pickguard on this bass. In order to remove / install any pickguards on this bass the neck needs to be removed. We are including the original pickguard.
This bass includes a full factory warranty on everything with exception of the spot on the neck.
Roger Sadowsky's goal was always to further improve 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 in the 21-Fret Hybrid P/J basses of the MetroLine series made exclusively in Germany. A great choice for bass players who are looking for a lightweight solution for the stage in addition to a modern bass sound. Special features of the P/J basses of this series are the active electronics with true bypass, Vintage Tone Control, treble and bass boost, ultralight Sadowsky tuners and the special Sadowsky bridge for quick string release. This 4-string bass in classic P-style shaped swamp ash body with open pore transparent satin finish.
