Sadowsky MetroExpress 21 Hyb PJ 4 FL BK

The Sadowsky MetroExpress 21 Hybrid PJ 4 Fretless Black melds professional playability with a host of practical features. With its 12" fingerboard radius, 34" scale length, and 19mm string spacing, bassists will always feel they can handle the Hybrid naturally and intuitively, while still maintaining precise control over their slides and vibratos. The fretless morado fingerboard is extremely sensitive to dynamics and technique, with both fluent, singing lines and expressive glissando among its repertoire. Controls for volume, balance, treble, and bass mean players can dial in their signature tone at will, and the push/pull switch allows them to entirely bypass the preamp, for pure passive sounds whenever they're called for. The Just-A-Nut III nut keeps intonation precise, and the quick-release bridge makes string changes quick and easy; lightweight tuners, security locks, and a quick-access battery compartment make this bass ready for everyday use.

For over 40 years, professional musicians have associated the name Sadowsky with high-end bass guitars, electric guitars, and archtop Jazz guitars. In the late 1970s, Roger Sadowsky opened his own workshop, where he started out repairing and modifying instruments from other brands. In the '80s, he began to develop bass guitars that represented his own unique vision: Soon, the name Sadowsky had a worldwide reputation for quality, thanks in part to prominent clients like Marcus Miller and Will Lee. Roger's legendary inventions include the on-board preamp for bass guitars, which helped create such extraordinary demand for Sadowsky instruments that he eventually made the decision to start producing the Metro line of basses in Japan. In 2019, the German bass specialist Warwick assumed manufacturing responsibilities for the Metro series, ensuring the name Sadowsky will continue to be synonymous with high-quality instruments for years to come.
