Sadowsky in distribution agreement with Warwick

[Dr. Cheese]

Yes, Doc. But deepestend says the status of the Satin models is TBD. The press release only says that the shop will continue to make "NYC Custom Shop" instruments.

Thanks for the clarification, Greg!

Probably not enough for the TB crowd.

Let's ponder it another way - this has to do with economies of scale so a "biggish" company probably needed to be the license/distribution partner. So imagine these headlines and the TB response:

"Sadowsky signs deal with Fender"

"Sadowsky signs deal with Rickenbacker"

"Sadowsky signs deal with Gibson"

I'm sure those would have been threads with all love and positivity

Years ago on April Fool's Day I posted a thread entitled "Roger Sadowsky Sells Company to Ed Roman". It was a joke of course but can you imagine what sort of customer service you'd get?!!

I wonder how the Wardowsky bass production will ramp up? How many more will be coming off the production lines in a couple years (provided they are warmly received).

I just hope USMCA doesn't mess this up

Ohhhhhhhhh..... Now I wonder if I've got the last NYC Satin that will be made with blocks:

Sign me up for a neck-through Jazz Bass.

I heard Love & Positivity was playing the same night as Biggish Company. Not sure which I should go to.

I've ordered lots of spare parts from the US distributor. What is the issue?

I just order parts from Warwick with no issues. Easy, quick, personable.

That's fine if you don't mind paying $35 for shipping one pickup, plus import fees.

Until now, I’ve never owned a “Pre” anything. Now, suddenly, I’m the proud owner of 2 “Pre-Sadowsky” Warwick basses and 3 “Pre-Warwick” Sadowsky basses, LOL!

 

[Wild_Bill_57]

I wonder if this is what happened to the mythical 40th anniversary bass ???

Ugh - this is terrible. Warwick of all companies? When I bought my first Sadowsky it was partly to get away from companies like Warwick. The customer service I experienced from Warwick was the polar opposite of what I expect from a company like Sadowsky. I will never again buy anything manufactured by Warwick - Sadowskys included. I have very little respect for Warwick/Hans-Peter and my level of respect for Sadowsky just dropped a notch.

Sounds like you seriously had a bad experience... what’s your gripe?

That red Jazz is a real beauty!

I am Warwick and Sadowsky fan but currently have neither. If I get a Warwick made Metro, I can kill two birds with one stone.

Or horror: yet plausible
Fender acquires Sadowsky.

Fast forward 3 years.

The Sadowsky bass pack available at Walmart.

Experiences vary.

I have excellent opinion from Warwick service and Hans Peter himself, who never refused to deal personally with me via e-mail.

Myself also, and wife Florence have corresponded with me about matters of minor and major on a few occasions .

That wasn't my experience at all. I've ordered parts from them twice.

Good for Roger! Time to enjoy life I guess

I hope we can get a Sadowsky build in Indonesia, Korea or any part of the world with the quality and tag price of Lakland skyline series.

That would be Cortek (Cort).
