Man, if you ever decide to sell that one, hit me up and I'll sell a kidney or something.
Thanks! I've been really wanting a Natural MV5 Metroline and keeping my eyes open. Missed this one last time and missed Chef's (RIP man, dang!) when he sold it - although seems to have gone to a good home.
Been playing and loving my Oly White RV5E MIJ every gig since I got it. Forgot how awesome the feel and tone was on these Sadowskys.
Had to cancel the Christmas concert in early December, but we're doing a pared down version 2x tomorrow with a pared down choir and orchestra, and I'll be using the RV5E. Hope to put the MV5 through the paces next week.
Hey all. Thanks be been waiting to try one of these basses out, but no one around me has them in stock.
I’m seeing on Reverb and other sites some higher serial number basses made in 2021. I’m hoping these basses don’t have a lot of the issues associated with the first run. Buzzy frets, noisy electronics, etc.
Has anyone has the chance to play one of the newer 2021 models with the height serial numbers? Any opinions on build and playability?
Thanks!

It looks like Chicago Music Exchange just a new PJ5 in. If you are in the area, that might be worth a trip for you.
Hi, mates, did you noticed that new 2022 Metroline Limited model? Comes with MM/J config, and snakewood top.

Call me crazy, but, that may be more of a Warwick than a Sadowsky.
Or Lakland, but I like the versatility, especially the coil split in the MM pickup.
I once owned a Warwick Thumb NT, with a Snakewood fb. It’s like Ebony on steroids, regarding piano-like attack and sustain!
Given Warwick’s vast/unique wood supply…wouldn’t surprise me if someday they build a Sadowsky German CS Single Cut(?), with chambered Bubinga Pommele body, matching headstock veneer, Wenge neck, and Snakewood fb!

Maybe you're right, I've never owned a Warwick, cannot comparise... anyway these limited models have given some 'fresh' blood and new colours to the traditional design.
wow, that conversion rate is a bear for you guys right now.
Call the shop and book a Friday afternoon visit. Totally worth it if not near the MA side of CT.
