Sadowsky MetroLine instruments are manufactured under exclusive license in a climate-neutral production in Germany. To achieve the light weight typical of Sadowsky basses, tonewoods are selected by hand so that all models only weigh 8.9 pounds or less. High-quality features include many of the design improvements Roger Sadowsky introduced for more comfortable playing, as for example sleek undersized bodies. Combined with hum-cancelling pickups and the luthier’s signature active electronics, this leads to the superior Sadowsky tone – characterized by high definition, powerful presence, and super sweetness.
