【new】Sadowsky / MX21 HP5 TBT/R 4.36kg #SMX F 000794-25【GIB Hyogo】

Sadowsky is a high-end New York brand with top musicians like Marcus Miller and Will Lee as clients.

Previously, the Metroline Express was manufactured in Japan, but as Warwick took over the distribution of Sadowsky products, manufacturing moved to a factory in China.

While keeping the selling price down, high quality is maintained, making it a very unique product in its price range.

Initially, the Metroline Express series did not have the Sadowsky logo, but this has now been changed.

Furthermore, the neck has been changed to roasted maple.

It has a satin finish and a smooth feel.

The back panel is a screwless type, similar to Warwick.

Looking inside the cavity, you can see that it is shielded with copper foil tape. It's wonderful.

The pickups are PJ type, with a Precision Bass style in the neck position and a Jazz Bass style in the bridge position.

The bridge pickup is a hum-canceling type, minimizing the noise often associated with PJ pickups. The preamp circuit board is almost identical to that of top-of-the-line models priced around 1 million yen, which I think is a significant advantage.

The controls are volume, balance, bass, and treble.

A push-pull switch allows you to bypass the active circuit and play passively.

The powerful and crisp sound sounds a little more flamboyant than recent NYC models.

Some people might even prefer this sound based on the tone alone.

It seems that creating a product with the same high quality at the same price point is not easy.

Highly recommended.
