Sadowsky MetroLine 21-Fret Standard J/J Bass, "UNCAGED by TKO" Special Edition
"I didn’t want my first custom bass to just sound incredible. I wanted it to carry a message. This is the Uncaged Bass, showing animals breaking out of cages and a barcode representing the food industry. The black inlays on the body are made with Uncaged Innovations’ plant-based leather, a beautiful, premium material that doesn’t cost an animal its life. Built with Sadowsky’s renowned craftsmanship, it delivers deep, punchy lows, clear mids and a harmonically rich top end, shaped by the legendary Sadowsky preamp and Vintage Tone Control. This bass sounds huge and stands for every animal still waiting to break free. Every Uncaged Bass is handbuilt, never mass-produced, because we don’t believe in factory farming of any kind! It’s a one-of-a-kind player’s instrument and a limited-edition collector’s piece. Plug in. Turn up. Be a voice for the voiceless." — Tanya O’Callaghan
