Sadowsky MetroExpress Modern 5-string Bass Guitar - Candy Apple Orange Morado Fingerboard

The Sadowsky MetroExpress Modern 5-string Bass Guitar - Candy Apple Orange Morado Fingerboard updates the aesthetics of the company's classic P- and- J-style offerings to meet the modern player’s needs with contemporary functionality and exceptional playability. Okoume — a tonewood renowned for its lightweight and resonant qualities — anchors this bass's rich tonal foundation. The roasted maple neck fortifies stability and strength while offering a smooth, comfortable playing experience; the 24-fret morado fingerboard adds a touch of warmth and richness to the overall sound profile. Each MetroExpress bass is equipped with Sadowsky’s signature enhancements, including advanced 2-band active electronics that allow for precise tonal adjustments, catering to a wide range of musical styles. The adjustable Just-A-Nut ensures optimal string height and intonation, improving playability. Additionally, the quick string release bridge facilitates effortless string changes, making maintenance a breeze. The humbucking soapbar-style pickups deliver enhanced lows, crispy mids, and airy highs with excellent power and authority, further enhancing tonal versatility. It all equates to a Sadowsky bass that is not only visually striking, but also a powerhouse of performance.

Inspired tone and service

Revered for sublime tone, proprietary electronics, and delightful playability, a Sadowsky MetroExpress supplies everything you need to groove steadily. An okoume body with a bolt-on roasted maple neck establishes the tonal foundation with balanced but snappy characteristics. A flatter, 12-inch radius morado fingerboard on top of the oiled, natural-feeling neck offers a warm, yet punchy profile while allowing for lightning-fast runs to be played. The 24 nickel-silver frets come out of the box with rolled fret edges that make the MetroExpress series an absolute dream to play, as reported by our bass players.

Thoughtful and inventive, Sadowsky basses are equipped with hardware that saves you time during string changes and other maintenance. The bridge features a quick string release that loads the ball ends of your strings from the neck side of the body instead of the strap pin-side and slides to the side in place — no instrument flipping and string pulling needed. Access to your electronics takes no time at all, thanks to the Quick Access cover that’s removable without any screws. Sadowsky’s Just-A-Nut technology allows finer adjustments to your string height at the nut to dial in your perfect setup in minutia. Finally, a spoke wheel adjustment meets the edge of the neck and body for fast truss rod tweaks.

Thunderous pickups and active electronics

The Sadowsky MetroExpress 24-fret Modern packs a thunderous punch by virtue of a set of passive Sadowsky soapbar dual-coil pickups. These high-octane pickups deliver muscular low end, aggressive mids, and sweet highs whether you're going DI or plugged into a massive amp stack. The bassists here appreciate the added sonic flexibility supplied by this bass guitar's 2-way active preamp, which includes volume, balance, treble, and bass controls.
