This MetroExp21 is a seriously well-built bass, especially for a lefty. The hybrid P/J pickups give you a ton of tonal options, and the roasted maple neck makes it a joy to play. It's a great choice for players who want a versatile, professional-grade instrument without the premium price tag of their top-tier models.

Frequently Asked Questions
The active preamp provides a subtle boost and enhanced EQ control, adding clarity and definition without drastically altering the bass's inherent character.
The 'Balance' knob subtly blends the P and J pickups, allowing you to fine-tune the tonal mix between the warmer P-style and the brighter J-style sounds.
The 19mm string spacing is fairly standard for a P-style bass, and the neck profile is a comfortable, medium-thin shape that should feel familiar to most left-handed bassists.
