Sadowsky is a high-end New York brand whose customers include top-notch musicians such as Marcus Miller and Will Lee.
Until now, Metroline had been manufacturing in Japan, but as Warwick became responsible for the distribution of Sadowsky products, the manufacturing location changed to the Warwick factory in Germany.
Since the Japanese-made Metroline model was originally highly praised, there were some concerns about a drop in quality, but looking at the actual product, there seems to be no need to worry too much.
This model is a modern model with a wide range of 24 frets.
Many musicians love it, and its quality is highly praised.
Superior electronics produce powerful sound even at low string heights.
There are no problems with playability, and it seems to be a product with high overall potential.
I was a little surprised to find that it doesn't feel like you're playing gently by lowering the string height, but instead feels like you're playing firmly and it sounds like a bass.
However, those who work as bass players are looking for this kind of nuance.
Of course, lowering the string height and playing beautifully will not give a negative impression.
