Sadowsky MetroExpress 24-Fret Modern Bass, Roasted Maple Fingerboard, 5-String

Roger Sadowsky’s goal has always been to improve bass design by making some very unique and important improvements. By using its proprietary specialty electronics, light mechanics and selected tonewoods, Roger has taken this Sadowsky MetroExpress 24-Fret Modern 5 string bass to a very different level! Features include a lightweight, solid okoume body painted in Solid Champagne Metallic High Polish, a neck of roasted maple and a fretboard made of roasted maple. This is a fantastic looking and playing bass, and we are sure you will be happy to play it! Our MetroExpress basses are the easiest way to reach the famous Sadowsky tone: Never ringing harsh or shrill, with strong, powerful but never muddy basses, with present but not too aggressive mids and a sweet, airy treble.
