That's what I thought, just thought I'd check and make sure. That's probably my favorite color.

FWIW, I can offer a few clips of my Metro M5-24. It's a beast, and will cut through any mix. Sometimes this is a bull-in-a-china-shop kind of proposition, but I can say that having the VTC makes a huge difference. It's still a bull...but it now has manners.
These clips are pre-VTC (mine was an early model that came without and I did the retrofit late last year), but they definitely give an idea of the sound. The bass (ash/maple) was recorded live, running through Epifani UL amps and 10" cabs.

For comparison, here are a few clips of the Metro UV70 (ash/maple). Live, Genz Benz Shuttle 9.0 and Aguilar GS112.
Trio hit - 'So What'

Another trio hit, this time with Cleartone strings
Thank for the motivation to work on another Metro and the UV70 is the target,
James

Stunning - love it! Congrats!!
How did they hang Roger on the wall for that photo?
Oh damn! I want a photo of Roger holding my bass. Should I place an order?
Boy, he did not look as happy in the photo with my bass! Maybe he was sad to let it go??

Yes sir! You´re right. The toggle switches on/off the preamp. It´s a 2003 24-5 Sadowsky!
It souds incredible as it is. Don´t wanna install the VTC on this one. I have it on the Metro.

Maybe not, but it helps.
One of my favorite t-shirts I've seen a woman wear is one that is typically worn by a notably busty woman... says "my eyes are up here" with an arrow pointing up.
