Hey fellas,
Today was a great day when I got the email saying "Delivered." However, when I pulled my new (to me) Sadowsky Metro MV5 out of the case I noticed that I did NOT have VTC. The bass was advertised as having it. It was made in 2008 according to the serial number. My question is, when did VTC begin to be offered as standard?
Thanks!

PS: VERY sweet bass! How can ya lose w/a P pup on either bod.
Thanks!
...but, hmpf! Decisions, decisions. Now I gotta decide on return vs. not return vs. see what they'll do to make it right since it was advertised WITH VTC.
And, I was all excited to join the club

if they did advertise WITH VTC, ask the VTC back! Good luck to you!
Thanks for your responses and my apologies for rollin' up in the club pre-pics and pre-number but I thought the knowledge would be best found here.
What would be fair to ask for back? What's Sadowsky charge for the kit AND install? Did I read $150 somewhere?

Smokin' like that is way too harmful!!! haha
Note: Don't lose that hat or give it away. You got one of the last to be made with the signature on the side.
Here's the link to the part on site:

If you weigh shipping charges to the shop etc, I'm sure Roger would recommend a guy in Tyler or area to do a competent install for you.(& enlarge the hole if req'd.
I hope the seller will honour the deal as advertised & rebate the cost of the part at least.

I've never done any home recording until tonight. I'd like to thank folks here, especially Ken Jung, for recommending the Zoom Q3 video recorder. I ordered one on Monday, it arrived today, and was easy as heck to set up.
Soooo, here's my first video. Lighting is crappy and my playing isn't tight, but it's a little something for those of you who've wanted to hear my Sadowsky MM5.

Dammit Ken, JUST when I thought that my PJ5 had everything I needed!!!!! Seriously cool tone there. Nice line.
Naaah, YOUR playing is cool... I'm just noodling around with Stevie Wonder's "Superstition".
But yeah, I absolutely love the tone of Whitey. The tone gets even more Ray-like when I bump treble and bass. I'll set some time aside to record some knob turning, and also use my Ampeg or SansAmp rigs so I can dial in the dirt that I prefer. And Blair, I'll get some videos of Red, too. I used Red (strung with Chromes) at last weekend's R&B gig, and the soundman said it was my best tone ever!

Thanks! I would absolutely LOVE if you could bump those knobs and record some slap and pick samples. I bet the pick tone of that thing through a sealed cab is just devastating!!!

Sorry, I should have made that clearer. Although I love the classic look of a traditional P body, I decided to go with the smaller J body of the vintage line.
Cripula's sonic blue pj really sealed the deal for me. I could look at his and easily picture a similar one in antique shoreline gold.
