Key Features
The Sadowsky MetroExpress Hybrid P/J 21 5 String Left Handed Bass is built for left-handed players who want reliable feel, flexible tone, and a comfortable body shape for long sessions. You get a lightweight Okoume body finished in Solid Olympic White, paired with a roasted maple neck that feels smooth and reassuring in your hands. The P/J pickup pairing helps you move between warm, rounded lows and brighter, focused attack without fuss, while the active two-band boost gives you simple control when you want a touch more presence. You can also bypass the preamp whenever you prefer a purely passive sound.
Practical touches matter, too. The quick-release bridge makes restringing straightforward, and Sadowsky's light machine heads help the bass sit nicely on a strap. It all adds up to an instrument that feels ready for everyday use, whether you're practising at home or preparing for a show.

The passive P/J pickup combination gives you a wide range of usable sounds without overcomplicating things. You can lean into the P-style pickup when you want strong lows with a firm centre, or switch to the hum-cancelling J-style unit for a bit more clarity and edge. Balancing the two helps you find a tone that sits well in rehearsals, recordings, or live mixes. Because the J pickup is in the classic 60s position, it keeps the midrange open and natural, which can be really helpful when you need definition without harshness.
The onboard two-band boost gives you direct control over bass and treble, letting you adjust quickly if a room or mix changes. You can brighten your sound or add weight without needing an external EQ. And if you prefer the feel of a passive bass, the push/pull bypass lets you switch instantly. It’s a simple system that keeps your focus on playing rather than tweaking.
The sleek, undersized J-style body sits comfortably against you, and the roasted maple neck offers a stable, familiar feel. Its C-shaped profile, 12-inch radius, and smooth morado fingerboard make moving across all 21 frets feel natural. Lightweight hardware helps reduce neck dive, so if you’re playing longer sets, you’ll really notice the difference. It’s a practical build designed to make every session feel easier.
Sadowsky’s quick-release bridge makes string changes simple, which is handy if you’re gigging or regularly adjusting your setup. The light open-gear tuners keep your tuning stable without adding unnecessary weight, and the S-Security locks offer reassuring strap support. With stainless steel strings, a fretboard protector, and hex tools included, you’re set up with everything you need to maintain your bass and keep it performing well day to day.
