Sadowsky Guitars Metroexpress, M Vintage Bass , Lh - Olympic White,Rosewood

A "vintage" spirit crafted for the versatility of a 5-string

With the "M Vintage Bass" designation, this model is part of an approach that emphasizes the feel and aesthetics of classic basses, while meeting current needs thanks to the 5-string format. The Olympic White finish reinforces this "retro chic" positioning, while the left-handed configuration makes it a particularly interesting option for musicians seeking a serious instrument without compromising on ergonomics.

For which bassist and styles?

This bass is aimed at intermediate to advanced bassists who want to cover a wider range of musical styles without changing instruments. The 5th string is a real asset for gospel, R&B, funk, modern pop, low-tuned rock, as well as music requiring deeper fundamentals. The 21 frets also provide freedom for singing lines and passages in the higher register, useful both in band contexts and sessions.

The sound

On an electric bass, the sonic identity mainly results from the combination of electronics + pickups + luthiery. Here, the rosewood fingerboard is known to provide a softer feel under the fingers and a response often perceived as warm, with rounder highs and a pleasant midrange that sits well in the mix. The 5-string format opens access to deeper lows, particularly appreciated for supporting the kick drum and adding weight to choruses, while maintaining precision for finger or pick attacks. With its 21 frets, the instrument also encourages nuance and phrasing in the upper neck for more expressive playing.
