The Sadowsky MetroExpress 21-Fret Hybrid P/J Bass brings Roger Sadowsky's legendary tone and playability to a more accessible platform without sacrificing the quality that has made the Sadowsky name synonymous with world-class bass guitars. This 5-string features a lightweight okoume body paired with a roasted maple neck and morado fingerboard, delivering a resonant, balanced tone with a modern feel. The hybrid P/J pickup configuration — a passive Sadowsky P-style in the neck and a hum-cancelling J-style in the 60s bridge position — offers exceptional tonal versatility, from deep, punchy Precision-style growl to the articulate, focused bite of a Jazz bass and everything in between. Sadowsky's active 2-band preamp with a push/pull bypass lets players seamlessly switch between shaped active tones and pure passive response, making this bass equally at home in the studio or on stage across virtually any genre.
