Question re Sadowsky Metros -- to add VTC or not

My personal opinion is that VTC really works, and for 150 bucks Its Worth!, but you can always buy it without the VTC and install it later.

 

It's an add on item on the Metros that your dealer can install now or later. I like having the VTC on my MV4 since it give me another option tonally.

Since the Sadowsky pre is boost only, and given the description of your sound preference, I would think you would want it... even the RW/Alder basses can be a little bright IMO, and the VTC can really tone that down for you. I understand, as others have said, that it's a pretty easy add on at any time.

 

Add the VTC, It's a small price for an add on to a 2000$ bass.

 

I agree with KJung, given your sound preferences sounds like something you'd want. I have one in my RS 4 and I find it very useful.

I'd like to hear input from someone who has used the VTC and also plays/played with flats. Your use of flats may make the VTC less necessary. I use rounds, and even with the treble on "0", I like the VTC to mellow things out!

 

HI

By your description, it would work for u. It can always be added later. I, personally, could care less about the VTC. No thanx. I own 4 Sadowsky's. None have it. None of my 13 have had it

Mondo,

You could ask the dealers of the basses you've been looking at. They may have a supply of VTC's to be added if customers want them... The addition of my VTC didn't add any significant delay to my receiving it.

 

Not in any way meaning to be disparaging to Bass Central, but Elderly has an excellent service dept. too. But Bass Central is a TRUE Bass store. I am going to take the run up to Elderly Saturday, a guitarist friend of mine wants to check some stuff. It is probably the best acoustic guitar store on the planet.

 

HI

The Basscentral guys have always treated me like a king. I'd call them for any bass needs. Can basically get you anything U need.

If you cant wait, get the damn thing! You can always add the VTC later and you get the bass for your b/day

BTW the Sad pre is boost only..

 

One vote for LPB, and a vote each for Elderly and BC, both are top-notch operations.

 

Get the VTC.

 

I just got a MV4 Metro with the VTC and I'm glad it's there, maple can be very bright/snappy for my tastes and a little VTC goes along way.

 

+1

 

You will not regret buying one IMO. Don't hesitate for a moment.

***edit***

I will warn you though. It is a powerful addiction! I just switched in June and have had four already.

 

Go for it! My second one is on it's way! (Hung up in Customs , of course!)
