Roger Sadowsky has always been committed to making the highest quality instruments regardless of price point.

In 2003, 10 years after his internship at Sadowsky Guitars, Yoshi Kikuchi began production of the Sadowsky MetroLine in Japan. With Roger's exacting standards in mind, Yoshi recruited a team of veterans from the Japanese guitar industry to make an affordable line of Sadowsky instruments under his direct guidance and supervision.

The MetroExpress is guaranteed to weigh less than 8.9 pounds, for a true Sadowsky lightweight experience.

Roger's commitment: "Since 1979, we at Sadowsky have earned a reputation for building some of the highest quality basses anywhere in the world. While there are certainly cheaper places in Asia to manufacture instruments, the level of workmanship available to me in Japan—combined with Yoshi's commitment to quality—made my decision very clear. I will not compromise when it comes to quality, performance, integrity, and service." — Roger Sadowsky

Great bass. These Japan MetroExpress basses are almost on par with the NYC models. Everything is the same except the chambered body. GLWTS

Does this one have single coils or hum-cancelling pickups?

Also, any trade interest?
