Club Sadowsky!!!

Should also have a Sage 5'er up soon as well. Also pretty.

If that had a B String, I’d really be in trouble!!

So have the Metro Express hit the wild yet? Really curious what current Metro owners that have dipped in the Metro Express pool think of the new line. I haven't seen a "real world" comparison of the two yet.

We have a 5 string sage metallic with a maple fretboard in stock. Not yet on the site. Call Carl at the shop if interested.
 
Be smart and get musical instrument insurance. I recommend Heritage...www.musicins.com. $250 bucks a year buys you about 25K of insurance.

Thanks Roger, I've been thinking of insurance for my basses. I'm going to give Heritage a shot.

I think we have posted some Express raves on our Facebook page...either Sadowsky Guitars or Roger Sadowsky.
How often do you travel with your basses? Most cases home owners insurance would cover them in your contents.

Not if you report any income as a musician!

True... in Ohio, if it stays in your house and is damaged, stolen, etc. you are covered under your home insurance.

If you are gigging, without an insurance rider specific to your instruments, I'd be real careful making any claims for loss, especially with the amount of data one can glean from the internet, these days.

When I checked on it, my rep actually asked where I would be gigging...

... you know, for accurate premium pricing.

I just double-checked the reply from my agent when I asked about equipment being covered, and the magic number is $2K/year. If you make more than that, it's considered a business and is no longer covered. Sounds like YMMV and you should check with your carrier...

So, covered under home insurance, if you make less than $2K gigging?

Every body wants some...

(Hope you're well, my friend... still loving the USA GL!)

Excerpt from the page above...

"Also, not all homeowners insurance riders cover instruments for professional musicians, since there’s a higher chance of damage or loss. In that case, a commercial musical instrument policy is advised."

Probably a lot of coverage options, to fit one's situation and budget.
