what does your bass currently sound like, and what about that do you want to change?

I don't blame you, I'm tempted to change my Ken Smith's pre and put an Audere insted of.
Install the Audere but keep the Sadowsky,
just in case.

Keep the Sad. You might want to try installing a VTC for treble cutting.

I own that same bass, but have the VTC and the Sadowsky Single Coils which help A LOT of getting more mids!

I voted keep the sadowsky.

If I were going to do a guts revamp on a metro, I'd start with Nordstrand Js.

PS. Can you please check your PMs and get back to me?

I agree. I also have the single coils and vtc. It's perfect. A Sadowsky without a Sadowsky preamp just isn't right!

the jz3 ain't gonna help that much, its gonna sound pretty similar, well kinda. I have an audere equpped jazz and an audere equipped roscoe, the roscoe has the ability to set the low mids and the higher mids. IMO, that does make a pretty big difference. I don't like to pump tons of bass, but low mids is a different story. That pumps the pants flapping freqs without really stepping on the bass drum.
