Roger Sadowsky has always improved bass design by making some very unique and important enhancements. Thanks to his proprietary special electronics, light-weight tuners and selected tone wood, Roger offers you the Sadowsky MetroExpress 24-Fret Modern 4-String Bass, an instrument at home both on stage and at home. Features include a light-weight solid Okoume body fitted with Soapbar pickups, finished in Solid Ocean Blue Metallic High Polish and with a roasted maple neck and a roasted maple fingerboard. Together this makes one formidable bass that you are going to love to play! Best of all, the accessible price gives you access to 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.
