Excellent review: detailed, well explained… and great demo! It’s always a pleasure to hear your playing -no matter on what gear. Those MetroExpress seem to be serious instruments. But there’s a big tone difference between both specimens: the one with the Morado fingerboard is clearly beefier, rounder - it’s probably a unique individual: it’s definitely a keeper! Best regards.

Thx a lot for these kind words, mate! I´m very glad you´ve enjoyed my review. A lot of work went into it. And great to hear, that you also recognise the difference between these two basses. For me personally, the one with the Morado board is the favorite. All the best!

Thanks. I just bought my 2024 Metro Express two months ago; red with roasted maple neck and fingerboard. I upgraded to Vintage Tone Control. Love, Love, Love it.

Thank you for this really great review and demo ! I'm impressed by the difference between both basses. Totally different. Often I can notice a litlle difference in term of sound but here, it's obvious. I do preferer the maple fingerboard in general but here the morado.

Great review as always, and fantastic playing! Yes, the morado one is more organic and full sounding. They both have that Sadowsky sound, especially when using both pickups, but I think the maple one could be in danger of sounding too scooped for most mixes and some styles. 👍
@MichaelSchmittEleven
@MichaelSchmittEleven Год назад
Thx so much for your kind words! And I'm with you, the one with the Morado fingerboard is my favourite. I had to keep that one, that's how much I love this bass. Concerning the sightly too scooped sound: I've added no EQ in the mix, to present the basses in their purest form. You could definitely make them sit better in the mix by adding additional compression and EQ. All the best!

When Sadowsky first started out, all of his bodies and necks were made by WARMOTH company. This begs the question, just what does Sadowsky actually do? Print out shipping labels???? Apparently he did design the shape of the original 4 string headstock. I've serviced, modified and restored quite a number of different basses. Sadowsky basses are okay. They are playable. But not worth anywhere near the price they get. Custom basses built from scratch, in New York? Only one place to get those. FODERA. But they are surely pricey. Not for beginners. Unless one is building a collection. You did a great presentation here. Thank you. Nice bass chops!

Hello michael. Just see your video and really like it how the way you detailed everything. Im confuse between sire v7 or sadowsky metro express. Please help me to decide. I already test sadowsky but sire v7 in my country need indent 3 months, so i never test it. How about your opinion?
@MichaelSchmittEleven
@MichaelSchmittEleven 7 месяцев назад
Hi there. I still own both basses and play them a lot. You would be happy with either one. But if I had to go with just one, I'd personally pick the Sire. I still hope I'll find the time to do a comparison video anytime soon.

@MichaelSchmittEleven
@MichaelSchmittEleven Год назад
Ok, so maybe you should send it back. I got two of these basses. And tuners and frets were superb! Do you have a maple board? Sometimes, the wood shrinks a bit, due to temperature and humidity changes, leaving rougher edges on the frets. You definitely should get in contact with the seller. All the best.

@MichaelSchmittEleven
@MichaelSchmittEleven 5 месяцев назад
This is the second series, and as you can see in the close ups, the fret job on the basses in this video is superbly done. For me personally, a boutique J Bass has all the genes of a traditional J, but with added high end sparkle and a very tight and pronounced lower mids frequency response. I don't get any money for my videos, and I bought the one with the Morado fret board with my own money. Thx for watching and commenting!

The string spacing is a bit wider. And the neck profile is very flat and thin. That feels extremely comfortable and fast.

The bass offers really good craftsmanship and superb quality!

Plus, the Metroexpress instruments get quality checked in Germany before shipping. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment!
