Metroline 21-5 Hybrid PJ 59 Burst Transparent High Polish
New Metrolines
The new German-made Sadowsky MetroLine is carefully crafted by Warwick on a licensing agreement with Sadowsky. Roger Sadowsky is fully involved and stands behind all decisions regarding design, branding, and most important quality.
We here at Bass Buddha see this as a great match – the genius of Roger Sadowsky in combination with the incredibly experienced Warwick factory where Production Manager Marcus Spangler tirelessly controls everything from crafting the bass guitars to purchasing woods with a ton of know-how under the belt. Over the years, Marcus has collected what is probably one of Europe’s largest amount of quality woods – now ready to be transformed into killer basses.
So, American and German engineering kind of rhymes with that excellent quality and supreme tone that we all love and know from Sadowsky.
The fundamental difference between the Metroline and the NYC is that the Metroline features solid bodies while the NYC line features chambered bodies and custom-order options.
Roger Sadowsky
All MetroLine basses are born with the classic, near-legendary onboard Sadowsky preamp. It features Volume, Balance and VTC (Vintage Tone Control), which basically is a cut-off that works both in active and passive modes if you pull out the VTC. Further, there is a stack knob with the boost-only Bass and Treble, meaning that when dialled all the way down, the EQ is flat. With the VTC, Bass and Treble you get a ton of possibilities to shape your tone without getting lost.
All in all, we really dig the new MetroLine basses!
