A Modern Bass Inspired by Classic Standards
This Sadowsky electric bass follows the tradition of versatile instruments designed to cover a wide sonic spectrum thanks to a P/J configuration. The combination of an okoume body and roasted maple neck aims for a balance between resonance, attack, and comfort, with ergonomics suited for demanding musicians both in rehearsal and on stage.
For Whom and Which Styles?
With its long 864 mm / 34" scale length and slim nut width (38.5 mm / 1.52"), this model is particularly suited for intermediate to advanced bassists seeking a responsive bass that sits easily in a mix. The P/J pair excels in rock, funk, pop, groove, and studio settings: from round, massive neck tones to sharper attacks favoring the bridge pickup.
The Sound
The P-Style pickup in the neck position provides a solid foundation with generous low-mids and immediate punch, perfect for supporting the band. The J-Style pickup at the bridge adds precision, grain, and better nuance clarity, especially for fingerstyle or slap playing. The okoume body contributes to a balanced and open response, while the roasted maple neck enhances attack and clarity. The Volume / Balance / Treble / Bass control section allows quick adjustment of low-end foundation and brightness, enabling a shift from a round tone to a sharper presence without losing the character of the P/J setup.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
This bass comes factory-equipped with stainless steel strings 045 - 105: to maintain the same feel and tension, choose a set of 4-string long scale (34" / 864 mm) strings in this gauge. Since the Sadowsky Portabag is included, no additional case is necessary to get started.

Questions frequently asked
What styles can the Sadowsky Metroexpress Hybrid PJ 4 cover?
The P/J pickup configuration combines a P-Style neck pickup with emphasized mid-lows and a J-Style bridge pickup providing more precision. This setup is suitable for rock, funk, pop, groove, and studio work.
Is the neck comfortable for a 4-string bass?
With a nut width of 38.5 mm and a 34-inch (864 mm) scale length, this model features a long scale format with a relatively thin neck. The 12-inch fingerboard radius and its 21 nickel silver frets contribute to a feel geared towards modern playing.
What electronic controls are available?
The Volume / Balance control allows blending of the two passive Sadowsky pickups. Treble and Bass controls are used to adjust brightness and low-end presence. This makes it possible to shift from a rounded tone from the neck pickup to a more defined attack by emphasizing the bridge pickup.
What case is provided with this Sadowsky bass?
A Sadowsky Portabag is included with the instrument.
What replacement strings should be chosen for this bass?
The original setup uses stainless steel strings with a gauge of 045-105. 4-string long scale sets designed for a 34 inch / 864 mm scale length maintain this format.
