The specialist's opinion
Sadowsky Metroline basses are primarily high-end copies of Jazz Bass @ and Precision Bass @.
The concept developed by Roger Sadowsky was to create simple and effective instruments, with a very high degree of requirement, both from a sound point of view as well as from the violin making or even from the playability.
The result is ultra-modern / vintage bass. The sound is chiseled, precise, nervous but never in the bad sense of the word. The onboard preamp offers remarkable dynamics and sound quality. Far from the cheap preamps of certain models, the Sadowsky preamp only offers advantages. In addition to the active / passive modes with tone, it offers a beautiful natural compression and a remarkable musicality even pushed to its limits. The must-have of the Jazz Bass and Precision Bass, for demanding bassists.
