Sound Pure's Take
Black on Black? Alright! For those of us who'd rather have "more coffee" than cream or sugar is this stunning, ergonomic and versatile Metro from Sadowsky. Unlike their shrill six-stringed cohorts, bass players aren't so much looking for a particular tone as they are options. They want ALL the tones and they want them conveniently located for easy access. The bass player is an individual with an individual notion of what they want to hear and when. They have to be able to dip in and out of the shadows without missing a beat. This bass satisfies all the criterion and more.
