Open-Box Sadowsky MetroExpress 21-Fret Hybrid P/J Bass, Morado Fingerboard, 4-String - Solid Black High Polish (SN0538)
SKU: SME21HP4 23R OKU FRThe Sadowsky MetroExpress 21-Fret Hybrid P/J Bass pairs a lightweight okoume body with a roasted maple neck and morado fingerboard, delivering the classic Sadowsky tone and playability in a more accessible package. The hybrid pickup configuration features a passive P-style neck pickup and a hum-cancelling J-style bridge pickup in the 60s position, giving players a wide range of tones from deep and punchy to bright and articulate. Sadowsky's signature active 2-way preamp with bass and treble boost — plus a convenient push/pull bypass for pure passive operation — puts tonal versatility right at your fingertips. Built on a 34-inch scale with a comfortable 12-inch fingerboard radius and 21 nickel silver frets, this bass is designed to feel as good as it sounds, whether you're holding down the groove on stage or in the studio.
