We are thrilled to announce that we
are the newest dealer in Australia for the Sadowsky Metro bass line. If
you are looking for the Vintage/Modern Fender bass sound this is
absolutely the best way to get it. These are amazing instruments with
truly outstanding "fit-and-finish", incredible value and as well they
play and sound like a dream!
The Sadowsky Metro basses are made by the Sadowsky Tokyo team and are
exactly like the NYC models built in the states; they feature the same
pickups, preamp, hardware and design. The Sadowsky Metro line has 4
styles of basses to choose from. They are the
Standard Series
(no pickguard or control plate),
Vintage Series
(with pickguard and control plate).
Ultra Vintage 70's Series
(also with pickguard and control plate), the
Modern Series
and more recently the
Hybrid P Series.
The quality of these instruments,
set-ups and not to mention sound and feel are as great as compared to
their cousins coming out of the NYC shop. In essence, the Metro Line
will be the basic Sadowsky models.

Metro Hybrid P Series
This is a fusion of the Jazz bass and
Precision bass best features. Comes with complete Vintage styling, a
full size P bass body, Jazz bass neck, P pickup or P/J pickup
configurations and Vintage Tone Control. Is available in 4 string models
only. What you get is 2 fantastic basses in the one package.
Ultra-Vintage ’70s Series
The Ultra-Vintage '70s Metro features a full-size body, bridge pickup in
'70s location (about 1/2" closer to the bridge), and a fingerboard with
blocks and binding. Maple fingerboards are available with white or black
blocks and binding, and rosewood boards have white blocks and binding.
Each model is available with an alder or ash body, regardless of
fingerboard choice.
Vintage Series
The Vintage Series Metro features a slightly undersized J-Bass body with
pickup placement in '60s location. Rosewood boards are combined with
alder bodies, and maple boards will have ash bodies. The newcomer for
2009 to this series is the
NEW! P/J 5 string.
Modern Series
This 5 string model features a
two-octave neck to offer greater range on the upper register as well as
the lower. The neck width tapers from 1+7/8" at the nut to 3" at the
24th fret. This results in a right hand string spacing that is
approximately the same, string to string, as the 4-string bass. Two
Sadowsky soapbar pickups are located to provide a tight punchy sound and
to allow adequate room for slap style playing.
Standard Series
This model is identical to
the
Vintage Series model only
difference is that it comes without the pickguard and control plate. |
