Sadowsky MetroExpress instruments are manufactured under exclusive license and continuing quality control in China. The declared goal in cooperation with the high-end luthier is to build the best basses at this price and thus give more players than ever before access to a genuine Sadowsky bass – no matter if they are looking for a classically designed 4-string or 5-string. For ergonomic light weight, the preferred tonewood pairing is Okoume bodies with Maple necks. Alongside many other high-quality features, especially the original Sadowsky Preamp with four controls and plenty of boost produces that versatile sound known for sitting so well in the mix.
