Descripción
[Outlet Special Price] The Active JB Style, which offers high cost performance, has been renewed and is now available!

The "Metro Express series," which took the world by storm with its high cost performance as the entry model for the new Sadowsky, has been renewed with the long-awaited Sadowsky logo on the headstock. Not only has the logo been changed, but it also aims for even greater heights with a roasted neck, changed parts, and updated pickups. The neck features a narrow nut width and slim round grip, a 21-fret specification with a maple/morado fingerboard, a small dinky-shaped body, and a wide-range active circuit, so it inherits the strong Sadowsky characteristics while achieving amazing cost performance.

The body is made of okoume wood, which Roger himself prototyped in NYC and received high praise for. It achieves an astonishingly light weight and excellent balance, comparable to higher-end models. The pickups are traditional single-coil style, reproducing a clear and tight sound. Hardware such as the tuners and bridge are the same type as those used in higher-end models, and the preamp (passive switchable), which is the heart of the instrument, is exactly the same as that used in the higher-end German-made models, reproducing the wide-range and familiar "NY sound".

This instrument features a maple fretboard and a JJ pickup layout. You can enjoy Sadowsky's signature clear and tight active sound with this instrument. Furthermore, while possessing surprising power for its class, it achieves a stable tone and sound image, allowing you to appreciate the exquisite balance that is unique to this brand. The clean design of the classic 2-band EQ, which eliminates the passive roll-off tone, also allows you to enjoy the straightforward charm of this brand's basses.

While incorporating some simplifications, this high-cost-performance model inherits the look and sound of the NYC/German models. It's recommended not only as an entry point to the original models, but also as a step up to the mid-range. Please try the Metro Express, which has the potential to become a new worldwide standard.
