I can't get enough of this tone! Unfortunately, I still have just a little bit of GAS because I am going to get a Metroline Modern in addition to my Metro Express with VTC. These and my Jazz Basses are all I need.

The only thing better than 1 is 2. You gonna put flats on one of the moderns? I want to try them on mine at some point. I think it could sound really cool!
Wouldn't that make it sound less modern?

I will keep rounds on my Moderns. After playing Metroline JJ with flats, getting another fretted Jazz and putting on flats is tempting, but is more than I honestly need.
Wouldn't that make it sound less modern?
I don't think so. It would sound like a modern with flats
And with chromes I bet it would be all that, just without the zing, not like flats on a passive P or a J.But I have no idea, because I haven't tried it yet… it sounds so good just the way it is!
You might find out that getting the Metroline might make you not want to to pickup your Metro Express version . But I could be wrong. Have you officially retired the Peavey ?
The Peavey is retired. I think I will donate to my church or my kids' old high school. I think I will do the same with the Glarry.
I bought my first Sadowsky Nyc Modern 5 in spring 2018. The only bass I'll never sell.
hell yeah this is great. Sounds a little bit in the Warwick Thumb neighborhood. I need to learn this tune
You know it would actually be disappointing if I bought a Metroline and I did not want to retire the Metro Express Modern in favor of the Metroline.
My Japanese Metro was superior to my current Metro Express. I haven't played a German model but I have no doubt they are excellent.
Great player and great tone, but this is a fake Sadowsky.

I have an obsession for wood. The musical kind.
I still prefer the Japanese metros, but that's just me.
I don't know if player is using Factory supplied strings but I believe Sadowsky's come with their Steel Rounds;I don't think so. It would sound like a modern with flats
But I have no idea, because I haven't tried it yet… it sounds so good just the way it is!
I was always a Nickel Round player but put EBMM Cobalt flats on my Stingray Special would give them a try on Metroline Modern if one came my way
Looks like an older one from 20+ years ago to me, old style pickups and the dip switch on the front.
