First, this bass’ combination of a Sadowsky Passive Shielded Single-coil J and a Sadowsky Passive P split-coil pickup allows you to cover a seriously sweeping range of sonic ground. Iconic J-style grit and growl, mix-ready split-coil midrange might, and everything else in between — this is a bass that truly defies genre or stylistic categorization. These passive pickups are paired with a Sadowsky active onboard 2-band preamp system that pushes it all over the edge, granting you ultra-articulate active tones and greatly enhanced tone-shaping possibilities.Signature Sadowsky playability From the MetroExpress line to the German-made MetroLine series to Roger Sadowsky’s handmade creations, Sadowsky instruments are renowned worldwide for their remarkably high-performance playability. This P/J hybrid is no exception, sporting an exceptionally stable roasted maple neck formed into a fast-playing Sadowsky Standard neck profile that’s won over scores of Sweetwater bassists. Next, the roasted maple fingerboard’s 21 nickel-silver frets are shaped into a 12-inch radius to give you an even and familiar feel no matter where you are on the fingerboard. It’s all finished with a natural oil finish that’s smooth on your palm as you slide around the back of the neck.Road-ready Sadowsky hardware From the tuners to the bridge, just about every piece of hardware found on this bass is custom-made by Sadowsky for optimal performance and reliability. The large open-back Sadowsky tuners that inhabit the headstock feature a 20:1 ratio, allowing you to make even the most minute adjustments a cinch. On the opposite end, it’s hard not to be impressed by the rugged Sadowsky Quick Release bridge. Not only does the bridge live up to its title with rapid string changes, but its robust build also greatly enhances how each string transfers its energy to the body, resulting in superlative sustain. And while it may not be a Sadowsky design, this instrument’s Tedur Just-A-Nut III is a godsend for players picky about their nut action, as it allows for free adjustment of your nut height with the simple twist of a screw!Sadowsky MetroExpress 21-fret Hybrid PJ 5-string Bass Features: Okoume body provides a mahogany-like warmth with enhanced upper-range definition Ultra-stable roasted maple neck in a comfortable Sadowsky Standard neck profile Natural oil neck finish for a sleek, friction-free feel Smooth roasted maple fingerboard studded with 21 frets in a flat 12-inch radius, providing an even feel up and down the neck Tedur adjustable nut makes dialing in the proper nut action a breeze Sadowsky passive/shielded single-coil J and Passive P pickups deliver a supremely versatile P/J punch, ranging from treble-infused growl to old-school thump Sadowsky onboard 2-band preamp system grants access to active-style tones and superior tone-shaping options Incredibly reliable Sadowsky tuners Heavy-duty Sadowsky Quick Release bridge supplies enhanced sustain and improved string-to-body energy transfer SpecificationDetail Number of Strings 5 Left-/Right-handed Left-handed Body Shape Sadowsky Doublecut Body Material Okoume Body Finish High Polish Color Black Neck Material Roasted Maple Neck Shape Standard Neck Joint Bolt-on Radius 12" Fingerboard Material Maple Fingerboard Inlay Dots Number of Frets 21, Nickel Silver Scale Length 34" Nut Material Tedur Bridge/Tailpiece Sadowsky Quick Release Tuners Sadowsky Neck Pickup Sadowsky Passive P Single-coil Bridge Pickup Sadowsky Passive Shielded J Single-coil Controls 1 x volume, 1 x reverse blend, 1 x bass, 1 x treble Strings Sadowsky Blue Label Stainless Steel Case Included Gig Bag RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
