Thank you Andy

[@user-ll5cq3nd9s]

How many body colors are there to choose from depending on the fingerboard?

[@paultraynorbsc627]

Thanks for sharing Andy when are they on sale in Europe?

[@hannovor]

Thomann says: beginning 2024

[@paultraynorbsc627]

@@hannovor thanks much appreciated 🙏

[@lucmichel7588]

👍👍👌

[@jtruba01]

They finally brought the metro express more in line with the “original metro express” that were built in Japan. This places the current metro express on par with the German built Metro line. These are killer basses and will punch way above their price point. Spend a few more $$ and put the VTC in it and by god you are there. Thanks Roger for putting these basses back on the map.

Any Link where to buy? Thanks

[@SadowskyInstrumentsOfficial]

Hi! The new MetroExpress models will be available on the European market in early 2024. At the moment they are only available in the US, please check your local dealer for availability. 🙂

What's the string spacing on these instruments and what is the nut width?

[@vanderHoffTeachings]

I have one, but the string spacing is to wide for me. The neck is not to my liking. I will sell the bass. Nut is 4,5 cm and the neck near the body is 7,5 cm. The bass sounds great however. Electronics are awesome

[@silviosarunic6709]

19mm spacing
