Nice didn’t know Sweetwater was selling Sadowsky’s.
Hi guys,
I have a Japanese ash/maple MV5 with the original split coil (hum cancelling) pickups. The bass sounds dark or too scooped and I want to put some single coils in it. The bass is a beauty and has the best B string I’ve ever played.
Which single coils would you guys recommend? I’m considering Sadowsky, Nordstrand and Howard Ulyate.

Nordstrand. They make some of the Sadowsky models. Ulyate learned from Nordstrand
First time being on here.
Got my Metroline about 3 month ago. Can anyone tell me if this is normal for the spoke wheel to be touching the back side of the slot/pickguard. Shouldn't there be a gap there?

I wouldn't think that'd be an issue unless it's enough interference to make it hard to turn?
Thanks guys. The more I look, I see a clearance on other basses. I emailed Roger and he didn't answer my question. Forwarded it...That bothers me. If the guy that designs the bass can't tell you. There's might be a problem.
Maybe that's just how Warwick does it... The licensing/distribution agreement does give a fair amount of creative liberty to the Warwick shop - as we've all seen.
If it’s a MIG Metro, I’d contact who Roger says contact rather than the NYC shop:

Yes. Your quickest route to get an answer and get your problem solved is to contact the Warwick USA people.

For US and Canada, go to:

For International, go to:
W-Music Distribution

but... is there actually a problem with the spoke wheel thing? i mean, is this just a perception thing, or is the lack of a bigger gap, or gap at all, actually causing a real problem?
maybe i missed it if there is one, otherwise, but if this is all perception and not an actual problem, seems a little silly to me. IMHO, i like tight precision, as long as it doesn't also mean interference issues. Not sure if i heard here that's actually happening or not. if it is, disregard this post.

Would you be able to shift the pickguard away from the neck slightly after loosening the pickguard screw?
There was a gap at the neck pocket on my ML SC5, it bothers me. So I loosen the 6 screws, and reposition the neck. Problem solved.
