Sadowsky MetroExpress Left-Handed Hybrid P/J Bass - Gloss Black
Left-handed players can finally get a Sadowsky P/J built the right way around, and the MetroExpress Left-Handed Hybrid P/J Bass is in stock at No Limit Guitar Co in Idaho Falls. P-style punch and J-style bite combine with Sadowsky’s active preamp in a true lefty 4-string. It’s a versatile, gig-worthy bass for developing players and experienced pros.
Product Overview
This bass is built on an okoume body in Sadowsky’s doublecut shape, mirrored for left-handed playing. Okoume gives it a warm, mahogany-like low end with clear definition on top. The high-polish solid black finish and chrome hardware look sharp on any stage, and this example weighs 8.9 lbs.
The roasted maple neck uses the Sadowsky Standard profile with a natural oil finish on the back for smooth, quick shifts. A pau ferro (morado) fingerboard holds 21 nickel-silver frets on a 12" radius. The 1.5" nut width and 34" scale give it a familiar, comfortable feel.
A passive P split-coil in the neck position provides deep, punchy fundamentals. The shielded J single-coil near the bridge adds snarl and note definition, with a blend knob to balance the two. Sadowsky’s 2-band preamp, 20:1 tuners, quick-release bridge, and Tedur Just-A-Nut III complete a well-equipped lefty bass.
Ideal For
- Left-handed bassists tired of settling for flipped or limited lefty options
- Lefty players who want P-bass and J-bass tones from a single instrument
- Gigging left-handed musicians covering rock, funk, country, and worship sets
- Left-handed students stepping up to a professional-quality bass
- Players searching for the best left-handed PJ bass with active electronics
Key Features
True Left-Handed Construction
The body, controls, and headstock are built specifically for left-handed players. Everything sits exactly where a lefty expects it.
Versatile P/J Pickups
The P split-coil gives you round, punchy thump, while the J pickup adds focused growl at the bridge. Blend them to cover nearly any style.
Sadowsky 2-Band Preamp
Sadowsky’s active EQ adds low-end weight and top-end sparkle on demand. It expands your tonal options without losing the pickups’ natural voice.
Stable Roasted Maple Neck
Roasted maple holds its setup through seasonal changes in humidity and temperature. The oil finish feels natural and fast in your hand.
Sadowsky Hardware and Adjustable Nut
High-ratio 20:1 tuners allow precise tuning, and the quick-release bridge boosts sustain and speeds up string changes. The Tedur Just-A-Nut III adjusts nut height with a simple screw turn.
