Sadowsky MetroLine Will Lee 5-String Jazz Bass SML22WL5 in Solid Black Satin with the signature selectable mid-boost preamp.

The Will Lee Artist Line model adds a unique switchable mid-boost circuit to the classic Sadowsky active system, allowing players to select 500 Hz or 800 Hz center frequencies with wide or narrow bandwidth for exceptional articulation, punch, and mix-cutting presence. Combined with Sadowsky’s lightweight chambered body and fast maple neck, this bass delivers the clarity and responsiveness the MetroLine series is known for.
