I thought you would get a chuckle out of how horrendous the quality is on this "good quality" Sadowsky Chinese knockoff: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

What a steal! I think you also get swag, in the form of a magic lamp... once it arrives, you rub it and wish for the best...

There's something off about it but I can't quite place it.

I've been in that exact factory (part of what I do for a living). They actually make quality stuff, but they only make what they make, no innovation, no real sense of what the product is.... So, if they are instructed to make a 5 string bass with a 4 string PUP, thats what they do....

Hey man I sent an email a month ago and I’m still waiting for a reply.

Duh... it takes a long time to cross the Pacific on a container ship...

Duh... it takes a long time to cross the Pacific on a container ship...

6 weeks, to be exact... :>)

 

[Spidey2112]

Holy cow... there is so much wrongness there.

Look how crooked and off center the pickups are... and it looks like somebody spilled coffee on the fingerboard.

It's Java Blue... premium dark blend.

Are they serious? Good grief!

What a waste of Maple!

That was my reaction, too. What a waste of (presumably) maple and (presumably) ash wood.

I feel sorry for any buyers, too. Hopefully the creeps get caught at some point.

Kind of takes the term "offset body" to a whole new level.

Judging from the comments made, I think they already have... .

Willingly changing topic because that Fakeowsky physically hurts me,
You can hear my Fender Precision Sadowsky in action here in a full (3 piece) band mix.
Thomastik flats, neck pickup only, some bass boost and VTC @ 50% approx

Sounded great, @ale29! Unsure of your band's influences, but I hear some Black Crowes catching a headlong flight into a little Bootsie... thanks for sharing!

Roger posted yesterday that he was going to announce it today!

Roger Sadowsky says they haven't had the first production run yet.

Responding to a post from november!

We can finally announce the MetroExpress line today. We will have a few with us at our NAMM booth (#5129) to check out if you are attending the show.

Here's the basic info: The MetroExpress basses will include the legendary Sadowsky preamp as well as Sadowsky pickups, strings, and hardware. Instruments will be available in 4 and 5 string vintage models with the following finishes: black, olympic white, candy apple red, sage green metallic, ice blue metallic, and tobacco burst. Built with either an alder body and morado fingerboard or an ash body and maple fingerboard, each bass is guaranteed to weigh less than 8.9 pounds. Street price is $1875 for the 4-string models and $1975 for the 5-string models.
