Sadowsky MetroExpress 4-String P/J Bass - Morado Ocean Blue
The Sadowsky MetroExpress 21-Fret Hybrid P/J Bass brings Roger Sadowsky's legendary tone and playability to a more accessible platform. Built with a lightweight okoume body and a roasted maple neck topped with a morado (pau ferro) fingerboard, this instrument delivers the classic Sadowsky feel with exceptional resonance and comfort. The hybrid P/J pickup configuration pairs a passive P-style neck pickup with a hum-cancelling J-style bridge pickup in the 60s position, offering a wide range of tones from deep, thumping Precision growl to punchy, articulate Jazz bite. Sadowsky's active 2-way preamp with bass and treble boost provides studio-ready tone shaping on demand, while a push/pull bypass on the bass knob lets you go fully passive when you want a more traditional voice. The 34-inch scale length, 12-inch fingerboard radius, and 21 nickel silver frets make for a fast, modern playing experience that suits everything from funk and R&B to rock and jazz.
