Soaps sound great... love the 1 3/4" nut... and the grain on that body is beautiful!
Thanks for that. I just needed to clarify terminology. I have always called my metroline Will Lee a Japan metroline to distinguish it from the German models. Somehow "Kikuchi Metroline" sounds more distinguished.Yes. Yoshi Kikuchi trained with Roger Sadowsky for a time and then set up the Tokyo Sadowsky shop. The Japan-made lines were TYO (masterbuilt), Metroline (team built) and most recently, Metro Express (assembly line). All superb IMHO.
Maybe I'll start referring to my Japan Metro bass as well.Thanks for that. I just needed to clarify terminology. I have always called my metroline Will Lee a Japan metroline to distinguish it from the German models. Somehow "Kikuchi Metroline" sounds more distinguished.
Yeah I think that's easiest. Japan Metro/Metroline/MetroExpress vs China MetroExpress and German Metroline. Then you have NYC Custom and German Masterbuilt.Maybe I'll start referring to my Japan Metro bass as well.
Let’s see them both please!
Excellent.Yeah I think that's easiest. Japan Metro/Metroline/MetroExpress vs China MetroExpress and German Metroline. Then you have NYC Custom and German Masterbuilt.
Seems easy enough.
Love that Satin Deluxe.Sorry - tried to get the light to show them well but it seems like a losing battle this week, so here they are mostly-well lit.View attachment 4671785 View attachment 4671786
Hmm. Can’t recall seeing a pre-owned NYC Satin for sale, like, ever. Memo to self: why didn’t I buy one while it was possible?Love that Satin Deluxe.
I regret not getting that when I purchased my Satin in dark Lake Placid blue, but was flush out of cash.
