Key Features
The Sadowsky MetroExpress Hybrid P/J 21 5 String Bass is ideal for players who want reliable versatility for rehearsals, live sets, and recording sessions. You get a lightweight okoume body that feels easy on the shoulder, a roasted maple neck that stays stable under changing conditions, and a morado fingerboard that keeps your touch consistent.
Its hybrid P/J pickup layout gives you clear low-end definition with extra bite when you need it, while the active 2-band boost lets you shape your bass and treble quickly. And if you prefer a passive tone at times, the push/pull bypass keeps things simple. Together, these features create a bass that adapts to your style without fuss.
Product Ref: 356955
The Hybrid P/J setup gives you two distinct voices that work well in almost any style. The split P-style pickup brings strong, rounded lows that stay articulate, and the hum-cancelling J-style pickup adds clarity with controlled edge. You can blend both to suit tighter grooves, brighter parts, or more supportive roles. It’s a practical system if you regularly switch between techniques, tunings, or genres, and it means you spend less time reaching for outboard EQ.
The roasted maple neck offers a dependable feel that stays consistent in different environments. Its C-shape keeps your hand relaxed, while the morado fingerboard adds a smooth surface for fast runs and controlled dynamics. You’ll also notice how the 12" radius and the 21 well-finished frets keep bends clean and intonation steady. It’s a neck that supports long rehearsals or extended sets without getting in your way.
The onboard 2-band boost helps you adjust quickly during gigs, especially if you’re reacting to room acoustics or changing arrangements. The bass control brings in extra weight without clouding your mix, and the treble boost lifts your presence for detail and articulation. If you prefer to stay passive for certain tracks, the push/pull bypass gives you that option instantly. It’s designed to be simple, reliable, and easy to use under pressure.
Sadowsky’s lightweight open-gear machine heads keep tuning stable while reducing overall weight. The quick-release bridge helps you change strings efficiently (handy if you’re preparing for a run of gigs), and the included security locks help protect your bass on stage. With its PortaBag, fretboard protector, and included tools, you’re set up for regular playing, travel, and routine maintenance without needing to buy extras.
