Roger Sadowsky’s goal has always been to improve on bass design by making some very unique and important enhancements. Through the use of his proprietary special electronics, light-weight tuners and selected tone wood, Roger has raised this MetroExpress 21-Fret Hybrid P/J 5-String Bass to a whole other level! Features include a light-weight solid Okoume body finished in Tobacco Sunburst Transparent High Polish with a parchment pickguard, a roasted maple neck and a roasted maple fingerboard, this is one fantastic looking and playing bass that we are sure you will love to play! Our MetroExpress basses are the easiest way for you to access that famous Sadowsky tone: Never harsh or shrill sounding, with strong, powerful but never muddy bass, with present, but not too aggressive mids, and a sweet, airy treble.

Our roasted maple fingerboard gives the Sadowsky MetroExpress a crisp, tight, bright and more aggressive sound, making it ideal for both funk and slap.
