JimS:
I've never tried a Modern 4-24. I spent a few minutes with a Modern 5-24, so can I assume it's in the same ballpark, tonally?
The Modern 5-24 I tried had a really interesting tone. Somehow more tubey/analog sounding compared to most active modern basses, yet still with the modern punch and clarity. I prefer the JJ singles, but I can see where I'd really like the Moderns, too as a change of pace.

I think there are Humcancelling, but Fran knows that better than me, Fran thanks for your help, is an awesome bass!!
you're welcome. I hope you're enjoying that bass.
By the way. You can find the specs on Roger's website:

That's a nice piece of Ash!
I wish they would include weight on Metro specs pages as they do with the NYC. I know they did it with early Metros.
My bass is:
BODY |Solid Swamp Ash
I search and the other basses like mine (MV5 swamp-maple) only said: BODY | Swamp Ash
I don't know if there are differences............
This one is very light!!!!

It's pretty identical the Modern 5 except for the obvious difference is one less string. I tried a Modern 5 and was blown away but I prefer a 4 string. I was ******** for years. I kept waiting for Roger to make the M4 and forgot I could get a Modern Tele P-bass hybrid like Tom Hamilton; I don't need 24 frets.
My son is drummer for a grindcore metal band and he craps in his pants when I play the Modern through my Sadowsky SA rig.
When our bass player switched from his Fender J to the Sadowsky (PJ or Modern; he's borrowed both), we could all hear the notes much better and gigs were less muddy sounding. Everybody was blown away.

Yeah, that is one of my favorite painted basses, too. I really love the matching headstock with that particular color.
Here's something for those GAS pains...

Oh, I know where that beauty is at. He's the one that STARTED it! Him and Markus Bass's Invalid Link Removed.
But I won't change the color of my trans white one, despite how amazing the grain would be for a color like that.
Here's more orange for you to enjoy
I'm playing for a University of Texas / Oklahoma football party tomorrow night, so the UT guys are gonna dig the bass color eventhough it's Candy Apple Orange instead of Burnt Orange.

CAO is clearly favorable to burnt orange -- any day of the week.
