ricksterphil Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I realise they're B-stock, but they still seem cheap as chips https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sadowsky-Metroexpress-21-Fret-Hybrid-P-J-BASS-5str-TB-Sme-D-000198-20/324437256019?hash=item4b89f7a753:g:K9oAAOSwlAdf7FIY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 (edited) The quality control on these early, Chinese Metros seems to be decidedly suspect if the examples in the thread that discusses them are anything to go by (sorry, I don’t have the link).

binky_bass Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 (edited) You can get a new one from GuitarGuitar for a few pence more. Don't be fooled by the name!! Edited January 15, 2021 by binky_bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBunny Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 They seem to have quite a few of them with defects. Can't see Sadowsky being very happy at this sort of exposure. Add vat as well now, so an extra 20%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezbass Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 There are 7 B stock, new Metro Expresses on Thomann (if looking, don’t forget to add VAT). Add that to the eBay ones and that’s a lot of sub-standard Sadowskys available in the wild. If I were Roger, I’d be pretty p155ed off by that.
