USED Sadowsky / Metroline MV5 Charcoal Frost Metallic [12]

The MV5, a 5-string active bass from the Sadowsky Metroline series, has arrived.
With production now discontinued, the Japanese-made Metroline series is seeing a surge in popularity. Featuring a swamp ash body with a maple neck and fingerboard and 21 frets, the thick headstock and graphite embedded in the neck reduce dead spots, enabling uniform response across all positions.

It is equipped with original hum-canceling pickups. In active mode, you can control treble and bass boost/cut, and it also features an active/passive switch, allowing for flexible sound shaping to suit your playing style and genre.
There are minor scratches overall, with a few small dents in several places.
The frets have more than 70% of their original depth remaining, the neck is in good condition, and the truss rod is adjustable.
The lock pins have been replaced, and the tip (on the strap side) is missing.
