really helped me understand, cleared up the "what electronics are on the Metro Express" question. the answer (if you haven't read) is Sadowsky preamp (base model without VTC) with VTC available as upgrade. awesome.
A couple questions that I have, and I know they'll be answered at some point is what's the ordering process going to look like for Masterbuilt and MetroLine. Same goes for the MetroExpress, will they be available from the current Warwick dealers? Crazy to think you can get a Sadowsky at GC.
Can you get Warwick at guitar center? I haven’t seen a Warwick in a store in a long time
Okay fellow Sadowskians please don't freak out on the question I'm about to ask Mr. Sadowsky, but will there ever be a 6 string Sadowsky?
I double checked before posting, and now checking again. 46 new Warwicks pop up in a search, whether or not they're available in a store is an entirely different conversation. GC's by me appeal to the masses and don't have any high end basses.
that could be the perfect outlet for the new less expensive metro expresses.
There have been 6 string Metros for the Japanese market - I recall seeing photos here on TB somewhere. Without speaking in Roger’s place, it never seemed to be a pursuit he wanted to follow for the domestic line or domestic distribution of Metro models.
IF there is I'm calling 'dibs' now. International Law of Dibs is binding on all continents.

I always end up selling 6-strings. John Patitucci in my head/practice room, and some mook who can barely handle a 5 when playing live.
So ... you're first on the list to sell it.
I'm also interested if a 6-string bass will become an option, Sadowsky custom shop or otherwise! I'm sure Roger is aware that Warwick is well-versed in building 6-strings. Perhaps Warwick could either build them and/or develop a CAD design to share with your custom shop. My first preference would be to go for a Sadowsky custom shop 6-string bass. @deepestend @Sadowsky
Good 'ol black and white from a punk show we did on Sunday - If you've ever wondered, this is what a Sadowsky looks like at 200 BPM. 
The dealer network is currently being set up. Sadowsky dealers do not have to be Warwick dealers and vice versa.
It will still take a month or so to establish who all the new Sadowsky dealers will be. Warwick works through regional distributors. As soon as we know we will have a link to them on the home page of our website.

I have so much on my plate for the next 6 months (moving the shop), that I cannot even think about this. If it does happen, it will most likely occur as a custom order from the Sadowsky Masterbuilt line.
However, we do not even have 6 string hardware or pickups. I can't count it out, but don't hold your breath.
