Btw does anyone know, when Sadowsky added jumper to set the VTC efficiency on their preamps? Quite useful features, did not know about this until I upgraded preamp in my Metro.

I played a couple shows on Saturday with my new NYC PJ4. I gotta say this bass cuts and every note is so even across the board. Whether it was finger style or an occasional slap this bass sounded amazing. Love this bass!!
Great! I hope also the placement of headstock logos will be as we are used to. The new placement of headstock logo on German four-strings is quite weird.
Contrary to the photo caption, I am quite sure this is Michael Olatuja on the bass.
We will also be transitioning to my standard headstock logo.
The blue cap was added to our onboard preamp assemblies (what we used in the Satin basses too) as we needed the extra capacitance for our soapbar pickups. The Blue Cap is not needed for J-bass pickups.
Speaking of Michael Olatuja, everyone NEEDS to check out his album Lagos Pepper Soup. It's incredible.
Will that somehow be now incorporating a goats head?
Hi,
Amazed at the price drop of the Warwick Metro Expresses. Does anyone know of the technical/spec diffs between the Warwick/Chinese made and the ones that were made in Japan ??
Thanks

MetroExpress basses will feature 4 and 5 string J-style basses as well as our Verdine White P-J model. Bodies will be lightweight Okoume paired with Maple or Morado fingerboards. Pickups will all be single coil, and the preamp will be the original Sadowsky with Volume-Blend-Treble and Bass controls. Pickup and Vintage Tone Control upgrades will be available for the MetroExpress.
Hi Roger,
Question. How does Okoume sound, as a tone wood, compared to alder and ash? Thank you!
This koa is as beautiful as the 25th anniversary models, I hope this goes home with a talkbasser!

I took an Alleva-Coppolo 4 string in on a trade and it's not for me. I'm going to sell it and get a Sadowsky NYC 4 string. I do like 18mm string spacings on 4 strings. Are the Sad bridges adjustable to 18mm or do I need to change the standard bridge?
i think i read somewhere you don't have to change the bridge... just the saddles... but i don't know where to get what, so hopefully deepestend or roger chimes in on that.
