Sadowsky MetroExpress 24-Fret Modern Bass 5-String Sunburst 2024

The MetroExpress is the accessible version of Roger Sadowsky's famous basses, while retaining the essential qualities that have made them so renowned: a modern, clean sound that sits beautifully in the mix. This 5-string bass, made in China under Warwick/Sadowsky supervision, features a compact okoume body, a bolt-on roasted maple neck with 24 frets, and the brand's signature 2-band active/passive electronics. The soapbar pickups deliver a precise, deep, and very balanced tone, with powerful but never muddy lows and smooth highs. Very comfortable thanks to its reasonable weight of 3.84 kg and modern ergonomics, it's equally suited to slap bass, fusion, gospel, funk, or modern rock. Today, it's a benchmark in the "accessible premium modern bass" segment.
