HI

This thread is dedicated to all us who own and gig Metros. Let us know what you have and what you like about them.

I presently own two. A pj 4 string hybrid and PJ5 vintage. Both are bursts and are ash/maple. Also included pics if you like

What a great idea for either a new club, or just more sadowsky porn.

I bought a Metro 4 years ago, but it did not bite for some reason. It did not have the VTC.
Just received this MV5 a couple days ago, and did my first gig last night with it. The VTC is exactly what I was missing before on my first Metro, and it sounded great. My creativity opened up as well with this bass. Funny how that works when all the pieces fall together. I was using my Markbass F-1 (love this head) and Dr Bass 2460. It was punchy articulate tone all night long.
I had the VTC dimmed about 15% and the finger funk tone is just off the charts. Thanks Rodger for adding the VTC to the Metro line and making a really superior instrument.

(Much) better pics to come.

Easily the best instrument I've ever owned (or even played) in the 18 years Ive played an instrument... and I've played some cool stuff.

Any info on how to date a Metro?

I recommend a movie, or candle-lit dinner

Any info on how to date a Metro?

Just call or send an email with the serial number to the Sadowsky shop. They can tell you when it was made.

Here's my UV70:

Who can tell me what year Roger started making the Metro line?

Thanks man

Well, I've owned two NYC's, one excellent Ash-Maple that I was forced by financial circumstances to sell last year. I finally replaced it a couple of weeks ago with this four string and I am more than satisfied. If I hit the Lotto, I'd probably redecorate my house in Metro's. Roger does it right, and cheaper used than a used Fender CS. Best value on the market.

 

[bikeplate]

Totally agree.

 

[jreynolds2159]

Yep, yep. Fender Custom Shop has nothing on these instruments.
The best I have ever played, no question!

Great working instrument. Bass done right.

I love my Metro, I don't know how you could make it better.

 

[Makatak]

I`ll chime in with mine. Love the feel and tone, visually stunning. A true investment.

Here's mine:

can you go through the body wood, and pickup configuration/controls on this? That is nice.
