Sadowsky is a high-end brand based in New York, with top musicians like Marcus Miller and Will Lee among its clientele.
While Metroline models were previously manufactured in Japan, distribution of Sadowsky products is now handled by Warwick, and production has shifted to Warwick's factory in Germany.
While some expressed concerns about a potential decline in quality, given the high regard for the original Japanese-made Metroline models, seeing the actual product suggests such worries are likely unfounded.
This model is a modern design featuring a wide 24-fret range.
It is favored by numerous musicians, and its quality is highly regarded.
The excellent electronics deliver a powerful sound even with low string action.
Playability is also solid, making this a product with high overall potential.
Surprisingly, it doesn't feel like a bass meant for gentle playing with low action; instead, it has a feel that encourages playing firmly to get a solid, bass-like tone. This is a bit unexpected.
But musicians who play bass professionally often seek this kind of nuance, right?
Of course, lowering the action for clean playing won't give a negative impression.
