Roger Sadowsky's legendary craftsmanship now comes to life through precision German manufacturing at the renowned Warwick factory. The Sadowsky Metro series represents a remarkable fusion of American design philosophy and European build quality, offering musicians access to instruments that closely match the acclaimed Japanese MetroLine standards while maintaining the exacting specifications that have made Sadowsky a household name among professional bassists worldwide.
Each MetroLine bass features carefully selected solid timber construction, with ash bodies paired to maple fingerboards and alder bodies matched with morado fingerboards. The commitment to quality extends to weight specifications, with every body blank chosen to guarantee instruments weighing 8.9 pounds or less. The SD‐MLVJ4‐AL‐SG exemplifies this attention to detail as a 21‐fret vintage JJJ 4‐string bass finished in sage green satin, complete with morado fingerboard, chrome hardware, and active 2‐way preamp in a JJ pickup configuration.
The expanded Sadowsky range encompasses three distinct product groups: MasterBuilt instruments representing the pinnacle of handcrafted excellence, MetroLine basses offering professional‐grade quality with German precision manufacturing, and MetroExpress models providing accessible entry into the Sadowsky family. This comprehensive lineup includes signature models such as the Will Lee and Verdine White editions, ensuring there's a Sadowsky bass suited to every playing style and musical application.
