I didn't Ken, that's a P/J.

+1 Per my post above, that can also be fixed
You know I'm just kidding. Again, totally killing, and I had the pleasure of playing that bass at LDS. Unique look and tone, and killing in its own way.
Hey all. I finally got my Sadowsky UV70!!! It is being shipped out today. I am using the pics from another TB'er, so I hope they don't mind. But I wanted to share with everyone.
One of my fave basses! It's really gorgeous. If I could find the same thing in a Ash/Maple combo on the used market I'd give a kidney for it.

There is a 4-string version of this bass on the 'bay right now.
Yes there is! I was tempted to buy it, but I really need a 5'er. Thank goodness one of our fellow TB'er bretheren saw my WTB add and hit me up. I was trying to see if I could get away with a 4 at that point.
I cannot wait to get it in my hands. Outside of wanting a certain Fodera, this was second on my list. The Fodera is just a pipe dream anyway.

HI
What up club members? A non Talkbass friend of mine on the west coast is looking for a used NYC JJ4 string. Prefers JJvintage or JJUV with a rosewood board. Doesnt have to be mint. Gonna be a workhorse. Already has a 5 string for 10 years and loves it, wants to add a 4. Musts are lightweight and rosewood board. Everything else up for debate. Anyone know of one or would like to sell, PM me

Here's a few early carpet shots. Dang, this thing is KEEEELAH!!! It's also got some cool mild flaming in the neck. It plays like buttah and the usual "dead zone" is minimal to non-existent. It's 8.8 pounds, and the tone is awesome. This is MOSDEF one of the best Metros I've ever played or heard. MOSDEF! I just got it today on approval, but it's so damn good I've already pulled the plastic off the guard. Done deal.
Very nice, very nice! Think, I have to start selling one of my bass and save some money to get a Shadowsky MV5 in 59'burst ash/maple.
D'oh! I missed the NYC in your post. I guess I'm blind in one eye and can't see out of the other.
It always seems that things show up when you aren't looking for them. At least that's what I have found all too often.

+1000.
Just to check guys, are your necks fully straight or with a slight bow forward to allow for the string's vibration?
My metro's got a slight bow forward and am thinking if fully straight would not be better..
cheers

I always keep just a slight bit of relief in my necks. Just enough to tap a string in the middle of the free section and see it bounce up and down off the fret.Just to check guys, are your necks fully straight or with a slight bow forward to allow for the string's vibration?

Yeah, if most Metros are this good, they're a particularly good value... even better than I'd originally thought based on past experiences.
