A MetroExpress that embodies Sadowsky DNA in an accessible version
The MetroExpress M Vintage Bass reflects the Sadowsky spirit: a bass designed to offer a balance between precision, punch, and efficiency both on stage and in the studio. Made in Asia, it incorporates typical brand technical choices (Sadowsky hardware, ergonomics, performance-oriented electronics) for a reliable, modern, and ready-to-play bass.
For whom and in which styles?
This 4-string bass is aimed at intermediate to advanced bassists seeking a versatile left-handed instrument capable of delivering a dense and defined sound in various contexts. Thanks to the humbucker configurations, it suits rock and pop as well as funk (with the snappier single coil mode), gospel, or modern productions where attack, sustain, and clean low end are desired.
The sound
The okoume body provides a balanced response, with present mids and good articulation, ideal for clarity in a mix. The bolt-on roasted maple neck and torrefied maple fretboard enhance the sense of speed and attack precision while promoting excellent stability. On the electronics side, the Sadowsky passive Humbucker (Quad Coil) Alnico V covers a wide spectrum: in series, the sound gains power and thickness; in parallel, it becomes more open and balanced; in single coil, it offers more bite and definition. The Volume / Treble / Bass controls and the preamp bypass allow quick switching from a modern, punchy tone to a more organic approach.
