Optimised by the pros, for the pros

Few names in the music industry are as synonymous with high-quality J-style and P-style basses as Roger Sadowsky. And for good reason – at every stage of the development of his instruments, Roger Sadowsky continues to collaborate closely with the New York scene's top bassists. Every last detail of a Sadowsky bass is road-tested by working pros, and then further optimised after feedback from bass heavyweights like Marcus Miller and Will Lee. All this is equally true of the Sadowsky MetroExpress Quick Release Bridge, which is now available in an elegant and timeless black finish. It isn't simply a bass guitar bridge that's designed to do one thing – keep the strings in place – but an amalgamation of a number of inventive solutions to make gigging bassists' everyday lives easier.

Solid and sensible

The solid base plate of the Sadowsky MetroExpress Quick Release Bridge is die-cast from solid metal. The individual saddles and their guide grooves are also made of metal and can be minutely adjusted in height, so bassists can personalise and optimise their favourite instrument's string action. To really perfect a bass guitar's intonation, it is of course possible to move the saddles towards the neck or bridge, for which a screwdriver is required. Thanks to its practical quick-release function, the Sadowsky MetroExpress Quick Release Bridge makes string changes significantly easier: The ball end of the string is simply inserted through the larger of the bridge's two openings and then secured from the side. The bridge is mounted to the body of the bass at six points, providing maximum stability: The necessary screws are of course included here, as is a hex key for adjusting the height of the saddles.

An easy upgrade for busy bassists

The Sadowsky MetroExpress Quick Release Bridge is a replacement bridge for MetroExpress basses – or an upgrade. With a bit of DIY knowledge, however, it can easily be installed on any J-style or P-style bass – or serve as a high-quality bridge for custom builds. Thanks to its service-friendly design, the Sadowsky MetroExpress Quick Release Bridge is especially useful for bassists who need (or prefer to) change strings frequently. A consistent sound is crucial for studio work, for example, and daily string changes are far from uncommon. The same goes for the demanding rhythm of touring life. Live shows can be sweaty affairs, so strings can wear out fast: Many bassists swap them out after every gig. Think how much easier a 30-date tour would be with the Quick Release Bridge on board!

About Sadowsky

For over 40 years, professional musicians have associated the name Sadowsky with high-end bass guitars, electric guitars, and archtop Jazz guitars. In the late 1970s, Roger Sadowsky opened his own workshop, where he started out repairing and modifying instruments from other brands. In the '80s, he began to develop bass guitars that represented his own unique vision: Soon, the name Sadowsky had a worldwide reputation for quality, thanks in part to prominent clients like Marcus Miller and Will Lee. Roger's legendary inventions include the on-board preamp for bass guitars, which helped create such extraordinary demand for Sadowsky instruments that he eventually made the decision to start producing the Metro line of basses in Japan. In 2019, the German bass specialist Warwick assumed manufacturing responsibilities for the Metro series, ensuring the name Sadowsky will continue to be synonymous with high-quality instruments for years to come.

The Sadowsky Portfolio

Of course, Roger Sadowsky didn't make his name manufacturing bass bridges – the Sadowsky brand is synonymous with pro-grade instruments. The company offers four distinct product lines: MetroExpress, MetroLine, Custom Shop, and Sadowsky MasterBuilt – so there's something here for every bassist and every budget. The legendary Sadowsky preamp also enjoys an excellent reputation: It's available either as a replacement for onboard hardware or as a standalone pedal, the latter in two versions. This preamp is the secret ingredient responsible for that world-famous Sadowsky sound. And speaking of sound – where would it be without the right strings? Roger Sadowsky has put a lot of thought into those too, and has had a range of strings made to his own exacting specs, with the Blue Label and Black Label lines offering different tension profiles and materials, including nickel and stainless steel alloys.
