May try to detour to Bass San Diego. If anyone has any ideas of another shop let me know.. I'll be heading to NAMM from Albuquerque..
thanks

Metros are 21 fret unless you get a UV model. All the metro 4 strings are 1.5 inch nut unless you get a Will Lee which is 1.45. UV metros are 10 degree radius, other metros are 12 degree. All metro 5s are 12 degree

NYC is different. There are many more possibilities.

Lots of options on NYC. I paid an upcharge to have my 21 fret neck on my NYC V4PJ shaved down to the 1.45" (like on a Will Lee).

The other place you can play a number of Sadowsky Metros (in the LA area) in stock right now is Mesa Boogie Hollywood. No affiliation, just been there once and can vouch that they have a fun store.

Cool shot. Some distinguished company you have there!

And speaking of green, I love the look of the grass being reflected in the bass Nino is holding.

As Rob said, lots of options for NYC custom orders. My bass has the following specs:
- Vintage tint finish, one-piece solid ash body.
- WEIGHT: 3,795 kg = 8.36 lbs
- vintage tint finish, 20 fret maple fingerboard.
- 1 3/4" nut width.
- 9" fingerboard radius.

It looks like you guys in the US are going on a national diet. You looked much 'rounder' a few years ago.

well, Jim doesn't count; he always looks exactly the same, doesn't get fat, doesn't get old,...I'm starting to think he's not human.

I could post some pics of me from Tahoe this summer but it would be a bit out of place.
