Electric Bass

The 5-string electric bass from Sadowsky, Hybrid PJ Black Pearl, from the MetroExpress series, is a real eye-catcher. Its active-passive electronics switch seamlessly, without a hitch. The P-Style and J-Style pickups add character to every note. Its weight of 4.8 kg? No more than any other 5-string model, and well balanced on the shoulder. Its roasted maple neck slides under the fingers like butter. The Sadowsky bridge ensures good string support, without fuss. With its included PortaBag, it follows you everywhere without worry.

The MetroExpress Hybrid PJ Black Pearl 5 String Maple Fingerboard electric bass is carefully crafted in Asia.

The okoume wood provides body, while the roasted maple adds bite. This duo creates a responsive playing style, with a clear attack and beautiful note sustain.

In a group, each note finds its place without forcing. No need to push the amp to its limits to be heard.

The push/pull to bypass the preamp is a real chameleon!

In the studio or on an acoustic set, it brings back a more natural grain. Perfect for a folk set where the bass needs to breathe without overwhelming the rest.

A sound engineer will thank you for having this option on hand!

The P/J mix is ​​the Swiss Army knife of groove. The P microphone is the foundation: round, deep, unwavering.

The J brings snap and definition. When played with fingers, it anchors everything solidly.

When slapping, it explodes with punch and a beautiful shine. Ideal for a Marcus Miller groove, between flexibility and sharp attack.

The quick-release bridge? A real time saver.

In the middle of a tour, changing a string becomes intuitive. No need to struggle with the tuners during a soundcheck.

On stage, it avoids panic in the event of a problem. Less stress, more music, quite simply.

With its 34” scale, the low B keeps all its grip. Even in a busy mix, it remains clear, precise, punchy.

A real backbone for a rock or fusion set! No blur, no slobber, just a powerful bass that imposes itself.
