Hi

I've had 3 sub 9lb metros but all were 4 string models. 2 uv 70s and a standard. Tough to find them

My Metro MV5 is 8.6 lbs...

That's pretty unusually light for a Metro MV5. Hang onto that one!

The seafoam green jazz I had a while back was 8.7 lbs. if I remember right.

Damn, I keep looking at the pic that bass12 took of our lovely ladies. Such a pretty couple of basses. Now I'm kind of GASsing for that natural master-grade flamey reverse PJ 5 I mentioned dreaming up a few threads ago.

So many beautiful basses, so few dollars.

Hey Roadkill, this isn't a flame but it's gonna be mine.
I like the curly and spalted combo.

It's not going anywhere!

Oh my snap. That's a sweet top. Have you mentioned the stats on that bass yet?

So.....naked or dressed?







Personally, I kinda dig it with no pickguard.

Also, and im sure I'll have to call the shop, but I'll toss this up for Roger or someone, the pickguard doesnt have a number on the back.
So getting a new one will involve what exactly?

I'm a fan of pickguards. I feel they add a nice contrast to the look and the protection is something I need. I would say dressed.

I'm pretty sure you can order a new one by just telling them its a NYC or a Metro, you might have to drill the holes or cut the pickup hole yourself though. I got my extra pickguard when I bought my Metro from them and had them install it.

Oh:
pickguard, mos-def.

That bass is screaming for an aged pearl pickguard and competition stripes like so:

That's a NYC, right? If you send them your pickguard, they can copy the layout and send you a different one.

If you like naked, get a plexi guard like i have on my PJ. I personally would still go red tort.

Definitely with a guard...and a tort one at that IMO.

Edit: They're want your current one to make a new one.

I like the no pickguard look. Doesn't look like every other jazz out there. I used to take the one off of my seafoam jazz all the time. Loved the look.

I find that a control plate and no guard looks kind of crass. I'm kind of getting used to that guard on that bass, but maybe some sort of pearl would look nice.

I dig it too. Like I suggested a few pages back. Go naked!

Now, you know that disagreeing with me is generally frowned upon by the forces if the Universe, right?

Uh... right?

Alder / Amazon rosewood. 1 3/4" nut 18 mil bridge
Duncan PUs, blk hardware
Gonna have natural finish, but I have to admit I was originally wanting similar to you std 5 in color, I guess my top probably won't be as brown as yours

Who are you.....He-Man? LOL! Sorry, I just love the no pg look. YOMV but my opinion is the only one that counts.
Eagle Moon has my back too! JK
