Worthy addition to the Sadowsky range

Matty589 26.06.2022

Anyone potentially concerned that the shift from Japan to Germany for the Metroline series has resulted in a drop in quality need not worry. Having owned both a Japanese Metro, the later Metroline and an Metro Express, I can confirm the Warwick/Sadowsky bass is easily the equal, if not better. Fit and finish is flawless, the pau ferro fretboard very attractive, the invisible fret technology delivers no sharp ends and the fretwork is perfect. All the hardware feels high quality and adjusts easily, including the spoke wheel truss rod. The Jazz shape is a little neck heavy when seated but as it is sub 4Kg it’s lovely and light when standing. No hum or buzz from electrics and only a touch of hiss when boosting treble the the max.
The sound is pure Sadowsky - boost a bit of bass when on the bridge pickup for a fantastic, tight finger style tone, slapping and digging in panned to the centre has that signature scooped tone and the neck pickup delivers a fat, reggae-esque bass sound. They’re so good I’ve also got a hybrid PJ5. Well done Warwick!

Habe den Bass jetzt fast drei Monate und konnte ihn ausgiebig spielen. Hat einen druckvollen Sound, auch bei Passiveinstellung, der zudem sehr variabel ist. Die Elektronik arbeitet gut und produziert fast keine Nebengeräusche. Die Bespielbarkeit ist grundsätzlich sehr gut (Einschränkung siehe unten), liegt gut am Körper und kann auch längere Zeit mühelos gespielt werden. Die Verarbeitung ist sehr gut, insbesondere auch die Verarbeitung der Bünde. Sehr positiv ist, dass man den Halsstab sehr unkompliziert mit dem mitgelieferte Metallstab ohne lästiges "Freilegen" justieren kann.
Negativ ist aus meiner Sicht, dass die Potis bei einem Bass für ca. 3.400 € etwas billig wirken. Zudem liegt der Volumenpoti etwas zu dicht an der G-Saite. Spielt man mit Plektrum, muss man aufpassen, dass man nicht ungewollt an den Poti kommt. Insgesamt - kein Bass ist perfekt - aber ein empfehlenswerter Bass! Ob man ca. € 1000 mehr als für einen vergleichbaren Jazz-Bass ausgeben möchte, muss jeder selbst entscheiden.
