Sadowsky MetroLine J-Style - Olympic White/Rosewood
Sadowsky MetroLine basses are now made in Germany, thanks to a recent licensing agreement with Warwick/Framus—and they’re impressive. They’re the answer for bassists who want Sadowsky sound, feel and precision—without the long wait typically associated with Roger Sadowsky’s outstanding custom-made NYC instruments. Not cheap, but MetroLines basses save you almost half of the cost of a New York Sadowsky.
This 2021 MetroLine 5-string features a lightweight alder body and gloss Olympic White finish. Two Sadowsky passive J-style pickups are routed through the famous Sadowsky preamp. The maple neck features a matte finish and Rosewood fingerboard with 21 nickel/silver frets. The feel is arguably perfect.
Bottomline: Expect the same craftsmanship and quality as a NY Sadowsky at a more affordable price.
