That Miki Santamaria custom model is stunning!!! If only they made it available to the public. If only 

Totally agree, Yamaha could offer so much more. Never understood why the BB range is so limited to boring vanilla finishes. I remember some years ago they done a BB with a MM pickup and it sounded incredible. 

Reduced to £450 Inc postage. Video of how pickups are wired. EMG pickups are new and cost £179 separately

This is an exact replica of the bass used by Rober De Leo from the Stone temple pilots

Please note, the only signs of wear or damage to the bass is on the reverse side where the previous owner repaired a chip by sanding back the finish. Also the headstock has a small chip. As seen in photo/video

Thomann do offer a set up/check service at an additional cost. May be worth it to avoid that hassle of returning. 

Yes, very good deals at thomann, but I would request they check the bass before shipping. I ended up with one that had to be sent back. Think I was very unlucky. Still on the fence about reordering.

Still for sale or gone? Seriously tempted by this. Is the neck radius quite flat? My preferred type of neck

Very much on the fence if these upgrades justify the price tag. 

That's a terrible set-up from a customer perspective 

That would look ace with a chrome control plate! Wonder if this is something that could be purchased separately?

Do you think the AliExpress pickguards would fit a sadowsky metroexpress or are they sized for a fender jazz?

Picked up this Model T a few weeks ago and customised it. New EMG passive pickups, New Bridge, Custom pickguard. Still in the process of deciding if to keep or sell 😁

I picked up one last month (one of the older sunburst models) and it's a great bass with a very rich sound, however, it's not the lightest of basses so I may move on in the coming months 

Sadowsky metroexpress, the first run, and the worst! 

Just in the process of getting a standard nut and shaving it to fit. Sadly there are not nuts available to fit a sadowsky and gone right off the idea of buying a Warwick just a nut.

I have ripped out the nut and now looking for a standard replacement nut

Yep, this is the lowest setting it can go. 

After feedback on this site, the Warwick just a nut is the issue as it's not been installed by the factory correctly. The just a nut should sit flush with the bottom piece of the nut which it does not. Hard to explain, but there shouldn't be a gap as seen in the photos. 

On a separate note, the strings were loosened to take a closer look at the nut.

Apart from the Warwick just a nut is there a standard sized bass nut that would fit a sadowsky jazz ?

Seems to be completely flat. Think a standard nut is a better option but struggling to find one that would fit a sadowsky jazz

That's the but removed, now to find a standard nut that will fit 

Glued in. Think I will rip it out and just buy a standard nut. Well, one that will fit.

Honestly, depending on your luck these sadowsky metroexpress basses are a nightmare 

It's rather odd. When the top piece is inserted into the bottom slot and with the turning screws fully out, the nut sits quite high?

Think I will just locate a standard nut that fits a sadowsky metroexpress bass. No idea why it sits so high?

Posted this on another thread, but the lowest setting on the just a nut still sits quite high. Does this look correct? I would assume it could be adjusted to sit flat but this is not the case
