That sure is a great looking bass!MAJOR METAL said:
Man, I want a Sadowsky (or 3 or 4) bad these days. I got the bug now I just need the dough. Maybe a Metro will be my fix.

Hey? Graphite reinforcement in the NYC Sadowsky's and not in the Metro's ?MAJOR METAL said:
Has Roger confirmed this?
I thought Roger said that the only difference between the NYC Sadowsky's and the Metro's was the chambered bodies on the NYC Sadowsky's?

I actually confirmed this yesterday. Nino (at Sadowsky) replied that they indeed do use graphite reinforcement in the necks of the NYC models.
Yeah rub it in man. I have a hard time as it is waiting and saving my money..MAJOR METAL said:Just a littel while longer till the metro's are out in the players hands, and the clock ticks.
All my bass-purchases are on hold till my MV5 arrives.. and I hope it will be all the bass I'll ever need, but then again, chances are: I'll want another one!

So when did Roger start using graphite reinforcement? I thought for the longest time that he was not using it. Is this something he started to do fairly recently?
As I am not the least bit familiar with Sadowski Offerings, the Metroliner RV4 and MV4 move me, but I don't know what it comes with standard.
What are the specs for these models? What are the differences between the two (just wood)?
If there is a link that provides this info, I have been missing it.
Thanks!

Dr. Funk said:Seems to me that this is similar to what Warwick did with the RockBass. Except that every body freaked and claimed that Warwick was out of their minds.
I wouldn't compare what Warwick did with the Rockbass line to what Roger is doing with the Metro line. Rockbasses are mass produced instruments whereas Metros are being built to order by Roger's shop in Tokyo.

Do you feel that the MIJ Fenders fall into that category as well then? Just curious.

That's an interesting perspective. The MIJ Fenders and the Sadowsky Tokyo basses that I've had the opportunity to play have been nothing short of stellar in quality and tone. I'd put them in a whole different league than say a Samick or a low end Ibanez. To each his own I guess.

That's true, you didn't say that at all. I still disagree with you though about the comparison between Warwick and Sadowsky. But hey, it's all good.
