We are very excited to release our newest MetroLine model….The SlapMaster!
Since 1979, Sadowsky Guitars and the Sadowsky Preamp have been widely known among players who love to play this style of bass. The natural mid-scoop of the Sadowsky preamp is perfect for the ultimate slap tone.
Our SlapMaster model incorporates all of the modifications Sadowsky guitars started using in the 80’s for bass players around the world.
These include:
- Swamp Ash body; slightly heavier weight
- Sadowsky Preamp with treble boost, bass boost, and push/pull bypass switch
- Omega Bridge (Badass Style)
- Deeper neck pocket for perfect string to body distance for G string popping
- Lower action that is set up perfectly for slap style bass playing
Sadowsky Guitars continues to “raise the bar” in electric bass design.
