[quote name='giblett123' post='700916' date='Jan 4 2010, 08:24 PM']Bass central have a couple of metro P's listed but I never seen one anywhere else; If you roll onto the neck pickup & play with the VTC you can get a seriously nice P sound out of one of these.[/quote] Contacted Bass Central, and the website is out of date, they have no stock! Yup I can get the sound no problem, its just me being a cosmetic tart!

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='700909' date='Jan 4 2010, 08:20 PM']Just had a cruise through the Sadowsky website and they don't seem to do a Metro with just the Precision-style split coil. You can only get that on an NYC ultra-vintage, which is going to be a pretty penny, methinks... I like the new P&J Jazzes, though. Very nice looking things. If only they did necks as nice as the current US Fenders, I'd have one. [/quote]Yup, no longer available, hence my "long shot" comment. It's just a tarty thing on my part, I like things to be balanced with some karma! Oh Oh, no one understands me!!!

[quote name='birdy' post='700759' date='Jan 4 2010, 06:29 PM']The Oly White one used to be mine, great, great bass - we had some special times together :-)[/quote] Best sounding band bass I've ever owned bar none, hence the worn neck varnish on the back.

[quote name='fede162162' post='700808' date='Jan 4 2010, 07:06 PM']It's a matter of philosophy of life! [/quote] He speaks the truth.....I think.

I have a Sadowsky Jazz and a PJ but really want a P puped one only without the extra Jazz pup. Does anyone have one and fancy swapping for my PJ, obviously value wise u will gain, but ill be happy, shes mint with mintish case. Long shot I know. So basically I want to swap my PJ for a Sadowsky Metro P. The Olly white Jazz is going nowhere! Pic:

[quote name='thepurpleblob' post='692638' date='Dec 23 2009, 10:20 PM']At the risk of being a dreadful pedant.... is that serial number not more like 1980? Anyhoo... I have a Precision Fretless of very similar vintage and the sound is incredible. Like nothing else - it totally belies (or proves) the simplicity of the design. If only I could play fretless. I would say the price is about right for one in such good condition. About right.. not cheap though [/quote]There is certainly some contention over the actual age of manufacture in this period, Im just going by the serial number which seems like the obvious datum recognisable point.

Going to bay.
