Cool. I thought I had traded you a VJC awhile back that was pretty special.

Incoming!!
I was on the prowl for an Alder/RW Sadowsky 5 string, but I found this and couldn't pass it up. Classic and timeless look. I love the grain, the shade and the gloss finish makes it Pop!
This Sadowsky Metro Express should answer a lot of questions and I have a feeling it is going to be superb! "Ash/Maple?" I'll find out. The scale from the dealer shows it right around 8lbs or less!
I am hoping it will be here by Wednesday or Thursday afternoon at the latest. I have a band gig on Thursday night at a regular venue where we get our best sound.
Congrats Man!!! I just acquired the same bass about 2 weeks ago. I have been absolutely blown away by this thing so far, definitely the best bass I have ever owned. I am sure you will be happy with it.

I was actually looking for a rosewood fretboard Lakland when I found mine...
Go check ikebe from Japan
Yes, good idea. Pro tip:
Use the international version of the Ikebe-Gakki website. Set the search filter to “used” and “outlet.” Ikebe’s website makes no obvious distinction between in-stock basses (the two categories mentioned) and those you have to commission and wait for.
After buying my first Metro locally from a TBer, I bought another Metro and two TYOs from Ikebe. Excellent service and pricing on used basses.
Thanks! I am really excited to get my first Sadowsky. Feels somehow long overdue. Lol
I love that you said “first Sadowsky”. That’s probably correct!
Are you saying this one is going to be a: "Gateway drug?" LOL .... You could be right.
The wait is coming to an end, my bass is nearly done!
^^^The greenburst is so cool!^^^
I love that finish. That thing is gonna sound huge.

I've named my new METAL lover, Swamp Thing.
You're ready for St. Patrick's Day gigs too!
@MAJOR METAL has been ready for these gigs for many years now. Do you have a family photo of your St Paddy's day collection, MM?
The only reason I bring it up, is because I do not have a green bass yet. That's the reason I have planned to tell my wife when that time comes. Haha.
