Roger you’re master at your craft. Thank you for sharing.

KZbin if a fantastic information sharing platform, as in this example. To see Roger running through this is such a treat. There aren't many companies that do after sale care very well, but Sadowsky and Warwick are hitting it out of the ball park so to speak. Thanks so much, and my basses thank you too :-)

Hey, wondering what is the difference between the Sadowsky pickups in the SMX and other Sadowsky pickups? I thought they were all the same.. Thanks for the video.

Metro Express J pickups are true single coils (you might prefer them) and these are twin coil hum canceling

[@edhauser6052]

Which would be a better choice to replace on my metro express. 1. Replace the pickups or 2. The electronic controls. Thanks

Hi! It depends on your needs and desires. Going for a preamp of our offered sets that include the Vintage Tone Control (VTC) would allow for more tonal options in passive mode. Upgrading your pickups with the noise cancelling Sadowsky J-Pickups as they are found from the MetroLine onward can free your bass from any humm that is naturally present in any classic J-Pickup design. Best is for you to figure out what of these factors is more important to you and your playing and make a decision based on that. Hope this was helpful!
