I've been playing and gigging my Metro MV5-24 quite a lot in the past month (after nearly a year of favoring my Metro WL4), and I am really digging the different vibe of the HC pickups! I run a pretty hot gain structure on my amp, and those HCs help to provide some extra sizzle. Plus, the sound seems more naturally compressed and punchy than the SCs.
At one point - shortly after getting the Will Lee model - I considered swapping the HCs in my MV5-24 for SCs. But now I am quite confident that I will leave it as is, and enjoy each pickup type for what it offers.
Love my Sadowsky basses!

Replaced the HC in my MV5-24 with SC after owning a Metro Will Lee RV-4. Has nice grunt and less polite that the HC. Really can’t go wrong either way.

iPad on vacation. Questionable cell service !3 times same post. You must really like them SC pups!
Yes, I am !!!! Upgraded her years ago with Sadowsky Black Hardware, SC’s and Tort PG. You can set the action pretty low and get compliments on the sound. She is a keeper. Owe it all to you. Thanks !!!
I like that black hardware look, Antman3820!! It's got me looking at mine.

I'm thinking of putting a tort pg on my natural 5er.
I just released this. Posting here because I recorded the bass track with my Sadowsky Modern. Admittedly, the line is just a repeated one bar phrase, but still. I'd originally tracked with a Sadowsky Jazz but I needed a bit more space between the notes so I brought in the Modern. The line is simple but it was surprisingly difficult to play it cleanly from the beginning of the track until the end.

Took me forever to find a black Sadowsky 5 string bridge on the TB classifieds.

Many of the greatest bass lines are. Bass sounds great, really nice recording and rhythm section. Thanks for sharing.
I had just assumed you ordered the hardware from Sadowsky as opposed to searching through the used parts bins.
