The Sadowsky MetroExpress Hybrid P/J Bass 5-String combines the best elements of Precision and Jazz Bass design with Roger Sadowsky’s legendary refinements, delivering exceptional versatility, comfort, and professional-grade tone. Finished in a striking Olympic White High Polish with a classic tortoise pickguard, this bass offers timeless aesthetics paired with modern performance enhancements.
Built around a lightweight solid Okoume body and a sleek undersized J-style body shape, the MetroExpress Hybrid P/J provides outstanding balance, comfort, and resonance. The roasted maple neck and roasted maple fingerboard enhance stability, sustain, and playing feel, while the comfortable C-shaped profile ensures effortless navigation across all 21 frets.
The hybrid pickup configuration combines a passive Sadowsky P-style neck pickup with a passive hum-cancelling J-style bridge pickup positioned in the classic 60s location. Together, they deliver a broad tonal palette ranging from punchy vintage Precision tones to articulate Jazz Bass clarity and modern versatility. Complementing the pickups is Sadowsky’s renowned active 2-band electronics, offering powerful bass and treble boost capabilities while maintaining the natural character of the instrument.
A push/pull bypass on the bass control allows instant switching between active and passive operation, providing added flexibility for live and studio applications. Premium appointments including lightweight open-gear tuners, the Sadowsky Just-A-Nut III, quick-release bridge, S-Security Locks, and an included Sadowsky PortaBag make this bass a dependable companion for any performance situation.
Whether you’re playing rock, funk, gospel, pop, jazz, soul, fusion, or contemporary worship music, the MetroExpress Hybrid P/J Bass delivers the famous Sadowsky sound—tight lows, articulate mids, and sweet, airy highs that never become harsh or muddy.
