Club Sadowsky!!!

949 for a PJ5? Sir, your 'buy it now' button-link-thing isn't working.

I'll check back.

:roflmao:

I think we were both trying to click at the same time - maybe that was the problem.

That's one heck of a price for a PJ5 with the Sadowsky name on it. If it's anywhere close to the Verdine - you just saved two large. Crazy. o_O
 
Nice chatting with you Roger! IMG_E0050.JPG

And I'd love some feedback from anybody who has a Metroline, MetroExpress, and USA Sadowsky. How does the MetroExpress really compare to the others in terms of playability and build?
The build and playability of my Metro Express is excellent. It pretty much emulates the New York City model, with the exception that it is not chambered, poly painted body instead of laquer, the preamp is not hand wired, and it comes with split coil hb pickups instead of stacked coil hb pickups. The new line of ME basses have several differences including the bridge, preamp with no VTC, jack mounting and body wood material. The old ME was manufactured in Japan and the new will be China. I believe all these details have been covered in previous posts in this thread and in the thread discussing the licensing agreement with Warwick.

The Japanese Metro Express instruments are great examples of Sadowsky quality.
 
I will shortly be posting a complete description of all of the new Sadowsky lines that will be made by Warwick.
The MetroExpress basses were pre-production samples and are not representative of the final product.
This is exciting news and we await with bated breath! Wishing and hoping this new chapter is both inspiring and fruitful to all involved! Thank you for being involved so much here on TB. We appreciate all that you do.
