Classic grooves – for the lefties

Sadowsky MetroExpress 21 Hybrid PJ 4 Left-handed Black, bass guitar

Left-handed players have finally got an instrument that delivers Sadowsky's signature blend of precision, tonal range, and sleek design – the Sadowsky MetroExpress 21 Hybrid PJ 4 BK LH. This hybrid-pickup four-string has a P-style neck pickup and hum-free J-style bridge pickup, for an extraordinary spectrum of sounds – from warm, punchy lows to defined, articulate highs. The okoume body, paired with a roasted maple neck and fingerboard, gives the bass a balanced resonance and quick response. The active 2-band EQ with push/pull bypass makes switching between modern punch and vintage passive tones easy and intuitive. Reliable hardware, excellent build quality, and the elegant Solid Black gloss finish make the Hybrid a dependable bandmate for any left-handed bass player – whether it's on stage, in the studio, or just jamming.

Power and precision

The Sadowsky MetroExpress 21 Hybrid PJ 4 LH BK combines modern playability with classic features. With 21 nickel-silver frets and a 12" fingerboard radius, it's always a smooth player, while the 34" scale length delivers that tight, punchy Sadowsky tone; the 19mm string spacing gives players plenty of room for slap, fingerstyle or pick techniques. Controls for volume, balance, treble and bass mean bassists can dial in their signature tone single-handed (or indeed left-handed), 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 – ideal for lefties who value both functionality and sound quality.

Groove to the left

The Sadowsky MetroExpress PJ 4 LH BK is tailor-made for left-handed players after a professional, flexible instrument that fits easily into a range of styles. With its classic P/J pickup layout, active electronics, and ergonomic design, it's a great match for ambitious amateurs, occasional session players, and seasoned pros alike. For beginners, it's a long-term choice that'll grow with their playing, while more experienced bassists will appreciate the characteristic Sadowsky tone and the reliability it brings to both live and studio work. Ultimately, the unbeatable price-to-performance ratio on offer here makes the Hybrid LH a serious alternative for anyone after more than just a standard 'lefty model' – this one's a proper groove partner.

About Sadowsky

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.

Left hand free – absolutely anywhere

In the studio, the Sadowsky MetroExpress 21 Hybrid PJ 4 LH BK delivers clean, balanced bass tones – from deep, rounded grooves and gritty midrange punch to sparkling slap attacks. The P/J pickup combo allows even amateurs to dial in their sound with confidence, while the active electronics add clarity and flexibility. On stage, it'll hold its own with a clear, confident sound and a look that blends subtlety with sophistication. And the rehearsal room is where the Hybrid will prove its versatility – from smooth Soul grooves and dynamic Funk to punchy Rock riffs. Paired with quality amps, preamps, or DI setups, the Sadowsky shows what it's capable of, making it clear that left-handed players are finally grooving on an equal footing in terms of both sound and style.
