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 legendary versatility of the classic Precision and Jazz Bass pickup configuration with Roger Sadowsky’s renowned enhancements in tone, electronics, and playability. Finished in a stunning Almond Sunburst Transparent Satin, this premium German-made instrument offers exceptional craftsmanship, lightweight comfort, and the unmistakable Sadowsky sound trusted by professional bassists worldwide.
At the heart of the instrument is a chambered American Swamp Ash body that delivers excellent resonance, fast attack, and remarkable tonal clarity. The chambered construction significantly reduces weight while enhancing acoustic response, resulting in a bass that remains comfortable during long performances while retaining outstanding sustain and dynamic sensitivity.
The American Maple neck features Sadowsky’s comfortable C-shaped profile and is paired with a matching Maple fingerboard adorned with black dot inlays. This classic tonewood combination provides exceptional articulation, snap, and note definition, making it ideal for players who require clarity and precision across the entire frequency spectrum.
Loaded with a Sadowsky passive P-Style neck pickup and a passive hum-cancelling J-Style bridge pickup positioned in the sought-after 60s location, the Hybrid P/J configuration offers extraordinary tonal flexibility. Players can achieve everything from powerful, authoritative low-end punch and warm vintage character to articulate modern growl and detailed high-end clarity.
The onboard Active Sadowsky 2-Way Electronics provide bass and treble boost while preserving the natural voice of the instrument. A Vintage Tone Control (VTC) allows for smooth high-frequency roll-off, while the push/pull bypass function instantly switches between active and passive operation, giving players complete tonal control in any performance or recording environment.
Premium hardware appointments include lightweight Sadowsky open-gear tuners, S-Security Locks, and the innovative Sadowsky Quick String Release Bridge for enhanced tuning stability, sustain, and easy string changes. The result is the signature Sadowsky tone: powerful bass that never becomes muddy, balanced mids that remain musical and articulate, and sweet, airy highs free from harshness.
