Lamborghini is making excellent tractors, that said.

As tractors go, the old Lambos are tremendously sexy.

The base price for a regular NYC Custom 21 fret J bass or 24 fret Soapbar is circa $6k anyway, tbh not a massive price hike. Same price difference between the Fender USA Precision and  Pino sig really.

There's a reason the fretboard marker skulls are the right way up when the bass is vertical and not when horizontal....

 Maybe it's entirely appropriate that these basses end up in the hands of collectors rather than players. If your a serious player then get Sadowsky to make a bass that accommodates your own requirements, not Jason Newstead's. 

 

The thing about fancy instruments (although this bass is actually quite understated) is that they don't wear particularly well. Once they get dinged up a bit they look shabby rather than glamorous, rather like a stately home in disrepair. A beat-up Fender, on the other hand, is like an ex-council house with some bevvied-up  chavs having a barbeque in the garden. Everything looks as it should and no one bats an eyelid.

Who knows, maybe we will see a metro express version in the future? I do like the look of a matching headstock

Maybe, like the Verdine White MetroExpress which is really good.

Great looking bass for sure, that I am certain sounds amazing too.

 

But no way I would ever pay that amount of money for that.

 

If I had that kind of money I would have my own custom speced bass made.

 

But if I was to get a signature bass I'd rather have the Cliff Burton Aria Pro II one, or ideally just an original Aria Pro II SB-1000.

Aye was sure it was a 5 I remembered but couldn't find a pic!

This is the one I’m thinking of

Sad that such decent, well built, and no doubt great playing & sounding instruments may well end up that way.

That could very easily head towards a sad yet true Dad joke about songtitles
