Class recital a month or so ago. 

Metro M5-24, bought new in late 2010 (tis my personal bass). 

I was wondering what year my Metro is with serial number M5357. Just lovin the neck on this baby. 

The white maple is holding up pretty well (and pretty white ).

Thanks Fran. I'm not all that concerned about keeping it looking "new white". Taking it down to the bare maple allows for a very attractive & slight greying of the playing surface wood. I wipe it down with a damp cloth regularly (just plain water & sometimes w/ rubbing alcohol) to pay respect to the wood & keeps the "greying" uniform over the neck. I will never use polish on the bare maple. It's gonna stay "bare"; for the feel. The un-tinted nitro on the headstock is starting to nicely darken a tad. Great how an instrument acquires "character" w/time.

PS: ***Just a note here that the attention paid to "whiskering" of the wood after the 400 sanding is the deal maker on this neck.

Those are two cool shots. I'd love to have a photo of my PJ with Roger in it.

So proud of my build that I put a couple o' pics in frames awhile ago. I put the tort PG on it but the mint still is a fav w/me. Nice to be able to swap 'em out for a change of pace if I like.

It's been 1 year now since the removal of the neck finish & the bare maple is still pretty clean looking & as slippery as ever. I just love it!

Is the Sadowsky onboard preamp a unity gain preamp? (that means that there is no change in the instrument's output level when switching between passive and active mode (with the bass/treble controls set to flat)).

The onboard pre has a slightly higher output when the active eq is set flat.
