Along with the electronics, which he developed by himself, he succeeded to raise the well-known P\/J bass sound to a new level, so today you can speak of a typical Sadowsky tone: Never harsh or shrill sounding, with strong, powerful but never muddy bass, with present, but not too aggressive mids, and a sweet and airy treble range. This modern bass sound can also be found in the Sadowsky MetroLine 21-Fret Hybrid P\/J Solidbody line of basses. This 5-string solidbody bass, seen here in an Almond Sunburst Transparent Satin finish, features a P-Style body made of solid American Swamp Ash.The neck is made of Maple and features a Maple fingerboard. Special features of this bass include Sadowsky P and J pickups, active electronics with true bypass, Vintage Tone Control, treble and bass boost. This bass also features light open gear Sadowsky tuners and the Sadowsky Quick String Release Bridge. Sadowsky MetroLine 21-Fret Hybrid P\/J Solidbody basses are made exclusively in Germany. The weight of this bass is never more than 8.9 lbs (4.0 kg). A good choice for players who want a lightweight bass that offers a modern bass sound.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: Sadowsky MetroLine 21-Fret Hybrid P\/J Bass, Solidbody\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e# Strings: 5-String\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e: Right-Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 34\" (864 mm) Long Scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Shape: P-Style body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Wood: American Swamp Ash, Solidbody\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Wood: American Maple (C-Shape, Bolt-On)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Wood: American Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlays: White dot inlays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius: 12\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut: Sadowsky Just-A-Nut III\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Width: 1.875\" (47.5 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut String Spacing: Nut string spacing (all strings): 1.54\" \/ 39.1 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck width at 12th fret: 2.7\" \/ 68.6 mm neck width at 12th fret\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck width at last fret: 3.1\" \/ 78.7 mm neck width at last fret\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck thickness at 1st fret: 0.86\" \/ 21.8 mm neck thickness at 1st fret\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck thickness at 12th fret: 0.93\" \/ 23.6 mm neck thickness at 12th fret\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e# Frets: 21 Nickel Silver (width: 0.094\" (2.4 mm) \/ height: 0.051\" (1.3 mm))\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Pickup: Sadowsky passive P-Style pickup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pickup: Sadowsky passive hum-cancelling J-Style pickup in 60s position\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreamp: Active Sadowsky 2-way electronics (bass and treble boost) with Vintage Tone Control (VTC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls: Volume \/ Balance \/ Vintage Tone Control (P\/P) \/ Treble and Bass (stacked)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePush\/Pull Function: Push\/pull function at VTC knob for preamp bypass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachine Heads: Sadowsky Light Open Gear Machine Heads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecurity Locks: Sadowsky S-Security Locks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: Sadowsky bridge with quick string release\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Total String Spacing: 2.99\" \/ 76 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware Color: Chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrings: Sadowsky Blue Label, Stainless Steel, Taperwound, 045 - 130\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Almond Sunburst Transparent Satin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: Parchment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 9.5 lbs (4.3 kg) or less\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtector: Sadowsky Fretboard Protector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTools: Hex key tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBag \/ Case: Sadowsky PortaBag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOther: Individual Certificate of Authenticity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade In: Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e  \" Please note: This item is a special-order product and is ordered specifically for you.
