A MetroExpress Modern: the Sadowsky spirit in an accessible version
The MetroExpress series carries the Sadowsky DNA (modern ergonomics, clear and effective sound, performance-oriented electronics) in an Asian manufacturing process, offering a bass with a very attractive quality/price ratio. This Modern Bass 5 version emphasizes versatility and access to the highs thanks to its 24 frets, while maintaining a very "studio and stage" sonic identity.
For which bassists and styles?
This left-handed 5-string bass is aimed at intermediate to advanced bassists looking for a modern, stable, and ready-to-play instrument. It excels in funk, pop, rock, gospel, R&B, and studio contexts where a solid low end (B string) and clear definition are desired. Its ergonomics and simple controls also make it very relevant for gigging musicians who need to cover multiple songs with a single instrument.
The sound
The combination of an okoume body and a roasted maple neck promotes a balance between attack, clarity, and quick response, with a well-controlled low spectrum. The Sadowsky passive Soapbar pickups deliver a modern, wide, and even sound across all 5 strings, ideal for precise lines and chords. The Bass / Treble EQ allows immediate shaping of the tone: more roundness and depth for grooves, or more brightness and presence to cut through the mix, while the balance control helps finely adjust definition according to your playing.
