This Sadowsky MetroExp24 Mod 5 is a serious player's bass – the roasted maple neck and Morado board feel fantastic, and those Soapbar pickups give you a modern, defined low-end. It's a great choice for players seeking a versatile, high-quality instrument for funk, rock, and contemporary styles; the active electronics add a lot of tonal shaping possibilities.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sadowsky’s 2-way preamp is known for its clean, musical boost and precise EQ control, offering a more refined sound than some of the more aggressive options on the market.
Morado is denser and can feel a bit harder initially, but it offers excellent durability and a unique visual appeal – it’s a matter of personal preference really.
Bolt-on necks tend to have a slightly more direct, punchy attack; the tonal character is still excellent, but it’s a different feel than the warmer, more complex response of a set-neck.
