I ordered all 4 German made Customshop Single Cut for myself and for my shop inculded all those listed on the web, received it weeks ago, gigged and recorded with it, they are impressed and up to the level that the basses coming out from NYC shop. Will write some more reviews when I have time. Cheers. :)

I know it is just in my head but the German produced Warwicks just make me want even more to make my next Sadowsky (if there is one) an NYC. It is just that I feel if I buy Grrman I am buying a Warwick whereas with my two Japanese metrolines there was a certain comfort in the knowledge that the Japanese production line was set up specifically by and for Sadowskys. I know there is no logic to this and I am sorely tempted by a certain whaleburst Ltd which has just turned up here, albeit highly priced. One huge plus of the Warwick deal which does not seem to have gained much attention is the increased availability of Sadowskys worldwide due to Warwicks wide dealerships. Before Warwick they were unavailable in New Zealand, whereas now they are available thorough the country's largest musical retailer. That said, I shall probably continue buying through Bass Gear Direct in Australia since they have never failed me yet.

I agree. So happy I got my MIJ MetroLine when I did. I am seeing fewer and fewer of them and prices are rising. Love mine and feel lucky to have it.

While I do not use the mid boost on my Will Lee as often as I thought I would it is a considerable asset having it as an option. Actually, on reflection I tend not to use it when practising but kick it in more regularly when gigging. This is in line with Will's original reasoning that he wanted to have a little more cut or punch available in a live playing situation.
And yes @ShawnG I agree, fewer mijs around and prices seem to be slowly rising. I guess it is the old law of supply and demand, a bit like pre CBS Fenders. Another consideration for me is that I have never been a fan of the adjustable nut idea, but hey I have always been a bit of a traditionalist and I have never had to replace a nut although baking soda and super glue have occasionally been very successfully used to build up a slot.

If you don’t mine me asking, What would be a fair price to pay for a standard NYC p/j 4 string w/ 1 3/4 nut 8 years old in mint condition? In general would these be the same value as a jazz. I see many p/j set-ups with the thinner necks on the sold site which I found interesting. I would think the thicker neck contributes to that “p” sound. Thanks
