The MetroExpress bass has a solid Okoume body and a roasted maple neck and fingerboard, giving it a smooth feel and strong, clear tone. It uses a P/J pickup configuration — a split‑coil P‑style in the neck position and a single‑coil J‑style at the bridge — so you can go from deep, warm lows to bright, punchy highs. The active 2‑band preamp lets you boost or cut bass and treble for more control over your sound. Comfortable playability and quality hardware like a Sadowsky Quick‑Release bridge and stable tuners make it suitable for practice, studio work, and live gigs.
