The Sadowsky MetroExpress 21-Fret Hybrid P/J Bass delivers the legendary Sadowsky tone and playability in a more accessible package. Built with a lightweight okoume body and a fast roasted maple neck topped with a morado fingerboard, this instrument offers a naturally warm, resonant foundation with excellent note clarity. The hybrid P/J pickup configuration pairs a Sadowsky passive P-style neck pickup with a hum-cancelling J-style bridge pickup in the 60s position, providing a wide palette of classic bass tones from thick and punchy to bright and articulate. Sadowsky's active 2-band EQ with a push/pull preamp bypass on the bass knob gives players the flexibility to shape their sound on the fly or go fully passive when the moment calls for it. Thoughtful details like the Just-A-Nut III, light open-gear tuners, and a quick-release bridge reflect Sadowsky's commitment to performance and convenience, making this a versatile and reliable workhorse for gigging, recording, and everything in between.
