Club Sadowsky!!!

The MetroLines have my attention. I assume that once in the NYC shop they get a thorough inspection and set up.
That was only true before Warwick, and even then, only if you bought the Metroline from Roger's store. these days, the NYC shop ONLY does NYC customs.

Well, they did just modify a Japanese Metroline UV with a super J pickup. So, while I'm not sure that they inspect the Metros coming through the shop anymore, seems like they might be doing a bit more than just NYC basses.

I'm confused. Where do you see that the Metros are coming through the NYC shop? My understanding is that never happens anymore, at all. I welcome correction, however. :)

I was basing it off seeing them offered on the Sadowsky available instruments page (which was just updated with the most recent newsletter). Figured those were coming from the NYC shop, but perhaps I made an assumption.

Greetings Sadowsky club..
Been a minute since I checked in.
Anyway, I just want to mention I have 3 UV 70 5 string pickguards, tort, mint and black pearloid.
I had them listed in the classifieds, and then forgot about them.
if anyone is interested, pm an offer.
Thanks, and happy new year!
 
So after sifting through this forum I have come across people stating that earlier german models had some electronic issues. If I buy a german made sado model from 2021 do y'all think I will be in the clear? I ask because I'd be buying it from Japan and i live in California so if something is messed up i don't want to have to send it to Germany to get them to check it out.
 
I just noticed that all the newer German metrolines on the Sadowsky site have chambered bodies. Is chambering now standard on all metrolines? If so then it removes the most significant difference between metroline and NYC imo.

Chambering is standard on all 2021 production.

I am not aware of any production issues on the 2021 production.
But I never recommend buying anything from overseas. You should only buy where you have a minimum of a 48 hour return window, or more. Also, it will not be under warranty in the US.
 
And they're able to do it without having to rely on overly boosted mids, resulting in a boxy or nasal tone. There's just something about the spectrum of its sound that has an uncanny ability to be very present.

Thank you Vic. I liked your wording very much.:)
