Sadowsky MetroExpress Hybrid PJ 5 String Black Pearl Maple Fingerboard

What we say:

At A Glance:

The MetroExpress Hybrid PJ 5 String bass delivers Sadowsky's lauded quality and stunning tones into a fantastically affordable package. This lightweight, highly resonant bass feels stunningly playable right out the box, all the way down to the low B string, and comes loaded with a pair of Sadowsky's own passive pickups and the same active 2-Band EQ featured on their top of the line models.

Sadowsky built their reputation back in the 80's for bringing stunning instruments to the market that looked as good they sounded and truly performed to the demands of the working musician, and have found their way into the hands of artists like Verdine White, Will Lee and Tal Wilkenfeld. Yet, with lead times and prices on custom instruments often being beyond the realms of most of us, they sought to deliver quality instruments with that trademark Sadowsky sound much more readily. And so the MetroExpress series was born.

Features We Love:

Sadowsky Pickups

The MetroExpress Hybrid PJ comes loaded with a pair of their own pickups; a split P style in the neck and a J style singlecoil in the bridge. This combination delivers stunning versatility with the classic, reliable thump and growl of the P in the neck, the snarl and punch of the J in the bridge, and a spectrum of combined tones to let you sit anywhere you want in any mix.

Sadowsky Active 2-Band Preamp

This preamp is where the MetroExpress range truly shines. This is the same active circuit that comes with some of Sadowsky's top of the line custom models, and lets you access a wide array of tones from the simple Bass/Treble/Volume/Balance controls.

Familiar Quality

The Sadowsky MetroExpress Hybrid PJ undeniably wears its influence proudly on its sleeve, but this is no mere copy. The entire range is built to a standard of quality and playability that Roger Sadowsky is proud to put his name on.
