Sadowsky MetroExpress 21-5 Vintage MO BL, five-string bass guitar

Few people in the music industry have more experience with bass guitars than Roger Sadowsky, whose unparalleled expertise is now reflected in the updated version of the MetroExpress 21, a bass that serves as an entry-level model for the Sadowsky lineup. This is quite simply a thoroughly modern bass in terms of everything from its sound to its versatility and playability, and it successfully combines the classic Sadowsky look with a range of contemporary features. In other words, it bridges the gap between vintage aesthetics and modern musicianship. This five-string version of the Sadowsky MetroExpress 21 features a neck made of high-grade roasted maple, a newly developed M-style pickup, the Sadowsky two-band boost-only preamp, premium hardware, and a hard-hitting Solid Black finish, to name but a few key features. The instrument ships with Sadowsky's high-quality PortaBag, the Sadowsky Fretboard Protector, and a set of hex keys.

Something old, something new

The updated version of the Sadowsky MetroExpress 21 now features a neck made from roasted maple; roasting not only gives the wood its rich caramel hue, but also significantly improves its resistance to climatic fluctuations. The body is crafted from okoume, while the fingerboard on this model is made of morado (a wood also known as pau ferro) and fitted with 21 easily playable nickel-silver frets. The MetroExpress 21 five-string has a relatively flat fingerboard, 44.5mm nut width, and 18mm string spacing, ensuring effortless playability for both traditional and modern techniques. At the heart of this Vintage variant is its classic humbucker M-style pickup at the bridge, which works in perfect harmony with the renowned Sadowsky two-band boost-only preamp. The high-quality chrome hardware is also manufactured in-house and includes a quick-release bridge, height-adjustable nut, and security locks.

Apply Some Pressure

The Sadowsky MetroExpress 21 is the ideal five-string for players who prefer a classic look but don't want to compromise on a modern low B string, effortless playability, and musical flexibility. The MetroExpress 21 M5, with its M-style humbucker, delivers real punch, pressure, power, precision – whatever you call it, it might get loud. While this means it has something to offer in every genre and playing style, it makes the M5 particularly suited to Metal, Funk, Rock, and Pop. The active Sadowsky onboard preamp also plays its part in shaping a whole range of those punchy, powerful sounds; equally, though, the instrument's fundamental versatility can be heard when switching to passive mode, which allows bassists to unlock the full spectrum of authentic vintage tones every MetroExpress 21 has in its locker. Given its specs, build quality, and versatility, it seems more than fair to describe the MetroExpress 21 as an affordable option. It's certainly a solid step up for any bassist who's upgrading from their first instrument and looking for something they can really play on stage.

About Sadowsky

For over 40 years, professional musicians have associated the name Sadowsky with high-end bass guitars, electric guitars, and archtop Jazz guitars. In the late 1970s, Roger Sadowsky opened his own workshop, where he started out repairing and modifying instruments from other brands. In the '80s, he began to develop bass guitars that represented his own unique vision: Soon, the name Sadowsky had a worldwide reputation for quality, thanks in part to prominent clients like Marcus Miller and Will Lee. Roger's legendary inventions include the on-board preamp for bass guitars, which helped create such extraordinary demand for Sadowsky instruments that he eventually made the decision to start producing the Metro line of basses in Japan. In 2019, the German bass specialist Warwick assumed manufacturing responsibilities for the Metro series, ensuring the name Sadowsky will continue to be synonymous with high-quality instruments for years to come.

A studio staple, a legend live

Sadowsky basses have long been the go-to instruments for professional bassists in both live and studio settings: Indeed, at every stage of the development of his instruments, Roger Sadowsky collaborates closely with the New York scene's top bassists. One result of this dialogue is the legendary Sadowsky two-band preamp, which gives players precise control over their tone – no matter how underwhelming the club's backline might be! Of course, the MetroExpress 21 can also be plugged directly into a mixing console or audio interface without further ado. An aggressive midrange and a tight, focused low end is exactly what the Sadowsky Quad Coil AlNiCo V humbucker at the bridge was built for – plenty of drive, too, giving bassists just what they need, wherever they're playing.
