MetroExpress 21-Fret P/J 5 String, Olympic White High Polish, Morado Fingerboard
The Sadowsky MetroExpress 21-Fret Hybrid P/J Bass brings Roger Sadowsky's legendary tone and playability to a more accessible platform, combining a lightweight okoume body with a fast roasted maple neck and morado fingerboard for a rich, articulate voice across all five strings. The Hybrid P/J pickup configuration pairs a passive P-style neck pickup with a hum-cancelling J-style bridge pickup, delivering versatile tones from deep, punchy lows to crisp, modern clarity, all shaped by Sadowsky's renowned active 2-way preamp with push/pull bypass for instant passive mode access. Built on a 34-inch scale with a 12-inch fingerboard radius and 21 nickel silver frets, this instrument offers effortless playability whether you're holding down a groove or navigating complex melodic lines, making it a professional-grade workhorse ready for the studio and the stage.
