Sadowsky: Metro Express (2)

Tried this at Swee Lee - impressed. Yes, it's the more affordable Chinese Metro Line P Bass but it's one heck of a player. Surprisingly, despite its standard scale length, this bass is somewhat a tad lighter than the average Mexican P-Bass from the big F brand. It's an okoume body, by the way. I see this as a no frills, value for money bass ($999).

Troy's P

I'm just glad the big names in musical instruments take note of formidable players in the metal zone. Mastodon's Troy Sanders got a new signature bass. It's a P (J) bass, a simple one with a colour scheme not too far off his previous Jaguar signature. If there's a deserving criterion in awarding a signature instrument to any player, it's that recognition of his / her contribution to the music. Troy Sanders deserves it.
