Just my2cent from limited experience with a few bass that come with empress body(mtd, Alleva coppolo) It is very transparence and balanced Have good attack Work great with active electronic and heavy voicing pickup if you are clear on what you need. A bit of a trade off, with the less mass/light weight, it can be very loud but empty Have less bottom compare to mahogany, Less punch then ash. A few twist on amp would sort it out.

I did see ultra 1 set before https://reverb.com/item/30702603-usa-fender-ultra-jazz-bass-loaded-pickguard-active-noiseless-gold-anodized You might want to contact the shop if they can arrange one for you.

The first offer is a bold one

I remember a bcer was selling one in blue and should be a pre 2000s run Have 16.5 mm as spacing

As far as I know.. 18mm (Fender, Sugi, a lot of Japan brand ..) 19mm (Sadowsky, Alleva coppolo, Fodera(adjustable), fbass, MTD) 17.5 mm stingray5

And It's $4400..wow

we deserve a photo of the 534-17 Didnt aware there is one in this country..

If this is the one from the 2nd batch, I have to thank and hate you at the same time. Thanks for saving my pocket. Let us know how it sounds Enjoy the new bass! 😁

Michael do provide 17mm spacing.. if that's what block you to get a 534.

China made not necessary bad, but the 1st batch of mic me is really sloppy..and have small issues here and there.. They do improved with later production after switching supply/factory.. And the hardware feel really cheap even the German made metro line But yea I would rather buy a sire or Lakeland

Yea.. one of my biggest regret, was to sell my jp me.. It was the only model which share identical neck profile to the NYC line. And they are gold for that money..

If it's Metro Express made in China.. Then..yea.. it is what it is .

The classic line looks more like a cort than a Tobias..

Possible to return it ? 😉 Just wonder if the precious line compatible with the arc 4 Still waiting for the shipments.. will see

Just ordered a pair from thomann and comes with free controller
