Sadowsky is a New York high street brand whose clientele includes top musicians such as Marcus Miller and Will Lee.
Until now, the Metro line was manufactured in Japan, but as Warwick took over the distribution of Sadowsky products, the manufacturing location was changed to the Warwick factory in Germany.
Originally, the Metroline models made in Japan were highly regarded, and some were concerned about a decline in quality, but looking at the actual product, it seems that there is no need to worry about an overreaction.
This model is a modern model with 24 frets and a wide sound range.
Not a few musicians are using it and its quality is highly appreciated.
The excellent electronics produce a powerful sound even at low string heights.
Playability is also problem-free and the overall potential of this product is high.
Surprisingly, it is more comfortable to play it firmly and make it sound like a solid bass than to play it gently with a low string height.
Of course, even if you lower the string height and play nicely, you won't get a negative impression.
This kind of wide openness is a design wonder, isn't it? Recommended.
