Sound Pure's Take
Weight: 9.05 lbs.
"Your drummer will love you!"
Sadowsky is known for being impeccable in their attention to both build and tonal detail, and the Metro Line series basses are no exception. Designed for players with more vintage sensibilities or players that need more modern versatility, the MV5 will deliver all the low-end punch that you can ask with clarity and precision (or should I say 'jazz'?).
The natural gloss finish on this really seals the deal on this classic-inspired bass! Call Soundpure today for more details!
From Sadowsky Basses & Guitars
The Sadowsky MetroLine
As the Sadowsky legend grew, so did the overwhelming demand for these exceptional instruments that continues to this day. With wait times for custom Sadowsky NYC instruments that can stretch to a year and prices for custom features that can overextend a budget, Roger looked for a solution that would more quickly and affordably make the legendary Sadowsky Bass available to the working musician.
Roger’s solution to this issue is not accomplished with sacrifices to craftsmanship, quality, precision, feel or sound; it is primarily accomplished by standardizing certain options and producing instruments in a more cost-effective environment. The result is the Sadowsky MetroLine.
Sadowsky MetroLine basses are produced by Roger’s personally trained protégé, Yoshi Kikuchi, in Tokyo, Japan. A superior craftsman in his own right, Yoshi moved to New York for a year to learn the art of the Sadowsky Bass at Roger’s side. Yoshi then assembled a small group of Japanese craftsmen and opened a studio in Japan under Roger’s supervision. As a result, Roger is able to deliver the legendary Sadowsky Bass more immediately and more affordably to you, the working bass player.
