TRADED 07/22! This is the REAL Sadowsky Metro, not the made-in-China Metro Express series that was recently introduced. I don't have to explain the difference in quality here because I trust my customers are aware of them. The Metro features basically the same build & components as the USA Sadowsky model without the 24-month current wait time. There is definitely something magical about a USA model but even pro players appreciate the superior quality that these Japanese basses provide. This one has a sunburst nitro finish over an alder body and a bolt-on maple neck with 21 frets. The two custom J pickups and proprietary preamp provide the signature tone that you're looking for. This bass is actually brand new and weighs just 8 1/2 lbs. Includes the super-deluxe Sadowsky gig bag.
