Roger Sadowsky and his production manager Lukasz were great to work with for this one I just got. Can’t ask for better service and build quality.

AWESOME video!!
Beautiful, and congratulations! NYC instruments are in a class of their own. I've never seen an equal among other builders.
Some pick style playing on my Metro Express Modern:
Whenever I get a little GAS after browsing TB, I just plug this beauty into my Genzler Kinetix 800 with a good set of headphones.
Symptoms pass and it puts a smile on my face every time...

Highly recommended! The bass had a Sadowsky soap bar when I acquired it but it sounded a bit bland to me compared to the P pickup. I saw an LEH bass with a similar pickup configuration which had a BigRig bridge pickup, so I installed the BigRig bridge (wired series) and was quite pleased with the improvement. It has more output and a more P-like voicing which is a better match with the neck pickup. It can add focus vs just the neck pickup, but without altering the underlying voice like a J-pickup does. Alder body, Sadowsky P-pickup and preamp, Brazilian rosewood fingerboard. This is my desert island P-bass. The tone, feel, and mojo are just right for so many songs I play.

I had a big rig on a custom bass i have with a Sadowsky pre, It was ok but depends on goals of course, I ended up changing it,
I love the Big Rig, sounds great in series and parallel. Significant output difference, but I can easily compensate. One of my basses has a pair of BRs, with a series/parallel switch for each.
I wish Sadowsky would bring back their neoprene guitar strap (the one pictured below). I use mine every day and really like it. Unfortunately, it’s my one and only. Not sure why Sadowsky discontinued the strap… low sales, maybe?
I guess I could find another neoprene type of strap, but what reminded me was I stumbled across a Yonit Spiegelman YouTube video where she was recommending these types of straps and specifically pointed out her Sadowsky strap as a great example. You can see it here:
Starting at about 2:13.

Agreed. I have a stash of them. I'm not using them, as I'm on an LK straps kick at the moment, but I don't want to get rid of them... #gearhoarderproblems

Big shoutout to Sadowsky!
I had problems with more stitchings on the Portabag.
So I sent a mail to Roger Sadowsky and Sadowsky Germany.
Although I had no guarantee anymore but only started using the gigbag in June 2025, they sent me a new portabag!!
Great service!
Sadowsky rules!
