Club Sadowsky!!!

What exactly is the difference from a Metro?

Just from first glance, it looks like limited models and features. These will only have 21 frets and not the option for 24 - like the Metro series. Also no "modern" versions.

Limited color options and using a different factory may also help offset costs. Still in Japan though with Roger and Yoshi overseeing things.

Otherwise looks like pretty much the same pickups, preamp, and woods.

I would seriously consider getting one as a backup to my Metro 24. Probably the biggest competition at that price point would be a used Sadowsky Metro.

And imported from where?

The MetroExpress is factory made in 6 colors. The MetroLine is artisan made in many colors

Satin is NYC -- and artisan made, as Roger said above. MetroExpress is imported, factory made, fewer options.

Thanks. I got that from Roger's post as well. I deleted my original post.

Interesting that there are weight maximums on the Express line! Can original Metroline offer the same?

The MetroExpress look like an awesome addition to the Sadowsky line. I can't wait to try one.

When these show up used, they should be quite the bargain!

This is a great selling point that EVERY manufacturer should offer. And one of the main reasons I would buy one of these basses.

The more I think about it, these Metro Express basses are really going to shake up the industry.

Fender has the American Elite at a little over 2K. I have one, and it's a great bass, but it's heavy as all get out and doesn't have the punchy fingerstyle tone of my Metro.

Imagine being able to get a Sadowsky with same electronics and pickups as NYC models, AND a guaranteed weight of under 8.9 lbs AND it costs less!

It's a no-brainer for me, I would get one of these over the Fender any day.

Corner Music is a Sadowsky dealer here in Nashville.

I just contacted them to make sure they are aware that these are going to be available in case they want to order a few (for me to check out of course).

Any change to the MetroLine specs/offerings in connection with the MetroExpress release?

 

[Kevan Campbell]

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

Don’t be afraid to give the shop a call. I’ve had to do that a few times after not getting an email response and I’ve generally gotten an answer very quickly as everyone there is pretty nice and professional on the phone.

Roger himself has picked up the phone on at least 2 occasions when I've called.







EDIT: I'm referring to the REAL Sadowsky shop....

I thought the OP was joking about the authentic, never to be duplicated, often imitated...

... Sachinasky bass... available from Ali Baba's realm of rip-off...

(I could be wrong...)

 

[Sam Dingle]

Will you list a difference between the metroline express and the metro and Nyc? That would be awesome

Oh crap, you are correct. I'll leave my post anyway... after a quick edit.

 

[Joeykun]

No matter if you buy a NYC, Satin, Metroline or MetroExpress it is a Sadowsky. Whatever you choose you are getting a quality instrument. Now at different price points that really make it affordable to be part of the Sadowsky family!

Congrats on this new line Roger!!

Did that already....one more time:

NYC is self evident. Please check out our website!

Could you text the wife that I was correct, at least twice in my life... ...

... insurance, for my next purchase.

This one looks really nice. I like that the tuners are stainless/nickel looking over the satin/dull gray. Are those Dunlop Dual Design straplocks too?
