This MetroExp24 is a seriously well-built instrument—the roasted maple neck is a dream to play, and those Sadowsky pickups give you a really defined, modern voice. It’s a great option for players looking for a versatile bass with a punchy, articulate tone that works well across many genres, especially modern pop and funk. The quick-access compartment and string release are thoughtful touches for the working musician.
