A MetroExpress Designed with Sadowsky DNA, in an Accessible Version
The MetroExpress series aims to capture the spirit of Sadowsky performance-oriented basses: responsive instruments, clean finishes, effective electronics, and modern playing ergonomics. This M Vintage Bass left-handed version emphasizes the versatility of a high-end humbucker while maintaining a familiar feel for bassists who switch between vintage tone and contemporary definition.
For Which Bassist and Styles?
This 4-string electric bass is especially suited for intermediate to advanced bassists looking for a stage- and studio-ready instrument with simple yet truly useful controls. The 3-position selector covers a wide range: rock, pop, funk, RnB, fusion, modern metal, and sessions requiring quick tonal changes without switching instruments.
The Sound
The core character comes from the Sadowsky Quad Coil Alnico V humbucker positioned at the bridge: in Series, it delivers a dense and powerful sound, ideal for carrying a mix; in Parallel, the response becomes more open and dynamic; in Single Coil, you gain articulation and attack. The Volume / Treble / Bass EQ adds punch and clarity, while the preamp bypass allows for a more direct approach. The okoume body contributes to a balanced and lively response, and the roasted maple neck promotes a stable feel and sharp attack.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
This bass comes with a Sadowsky Portabag gig bag, convenient for travel and rehearsals. It is factory-strung with stainless steel 045-105 strings: if you want to maintain the same feel and tension, stick to the same gauge for 4 strings.

Questions frequently asked
Is the Sadowsky Metroexpress M Vintage Bass suitable for left-handed players?
This bass is designed in a left-handed version, with a 4-string setup and a 864 mm (34 inches) scale length.
What tones does the Sadowsky Quad Coil humbucker offer?
The 3-position selector switches the Alnico V bridge pickup between Series, Parallel, and Single Coil. The Series mode delivers a full sound, the Parallel mode opens up the response, and the Single Coil mode enhances articulation. The active Bass and Treble EQ then allows adjustment of punch and clarity.
Can the bass be used without the active preamp?
A push/pull control integrated into the bass potentiometer allows bypassing the preamp for a more direct approach.
What is the neck comfort of this 4-string bass?
The roasted maple neck features a rosewood fingerboard and a Sadowsky Just-A-Nut III nut measuring 38.5 mm. Its 21 nickel silver frets and 34-inch scale length correspond to the standard format of a 4-string electric bass.
What gig bag and strings are included?
The delivery includes a Sadowsky Portabag gig bag. The original setup uses stainless steel strings with a gauge of 045-105; a 4-string set with the same gauge maintains the advertised tension.
