Description
The Stockist is an authorized dealer of Sadowsky Guitars & Basses in India, ensuring every instrument is 100% genuine, factory-original, and backed by reliable after-sales support.
The Sadowsky MetroLine 21-Fret Hybrid P/J 5-String Bass combines the timeless versatility of the classic Precision and Jazz Bass pickup configuration with Roger Sadowsky’s renowned refinements in design, electronics, and playability. Finished in an eye-catching Solid Dark Lake Placid Blue Metallic High Polish, this premium German-made instrument delivers exceptional tone, comfort, and performance for professional bassists.
Built around a chambered American Red Alder body, the MetroLine Hybrid P/J offers impressive resonance, reduced weight, and outstanding balance. The chambered construction enhances acoustic response while keeping the instrument lightweight at under 4.1 kg (9 lbs), making it ideal for extended rehearsals, studio sessions, and live performances.
The bolt-on American Maple neck features Sadowsky’s comfortable C-shaped profile and is paired with a smooth Morado (Pau Ferro) fingerboard. With a 34-inch scale length, 12-inch fingerboard radius, and carefully refined neck dimensions, this bass provides effortless playability and precise response across the entire fretboard.
At the heart of its versatile sound are a Sadowsky passive P-Style neck pickup and a passive hum-cancelling J-Style bridge pickup positioned in the classic 60s location. This highly sought-after P/J configuration delivers powerful low-end punch, focused mids, and articulate highs, making it suitable for virtually any musical style—from rock, funk, and pop to gospel, fusion, and modern jazz.
The onboard Active Sadowsky 2-Way Electronics provide bass and treble boost while maintaining the company’s signature tonal character. The Vintage Tone Control (VTC) allows players to roll off high frequencies naturally, while the push/pull bypass function instantly switches between active and passive operation for maximum flexibility.
Additional premium features include lightweight Sadowsky open-gear tuners, S-Security Locks, and the innovative Sadowsky Quick String Release Bridge. Together, these components ensure tuning stability, enhanced sustain, and effortless string changes. The result is the unmistakable Sadowsky tone: powerful lows, balanced mids, and sweet, airy highs without harshness or muddiness.
