Sadowsky Metroline Express??

[SteveC]

I have debated a Fender Elite Jazz 5 but they are often heavy and fairly expensive.
I had a Metro RV4 a while back and it's one of 2 basses I wish I had back.
If these have the electronics of the Metro/NYC then it'll be worth it. To me, that's what makes a Sadowsky. Yeah, the bass itself is really nice, but I put the electronics in a MIM jazz and that was a killer sounding bass. I'm guessing the Express will be at least as good as that so it sounds like a winner - especially if it hits that $1,700 Fender range.

The MetroExpress 4 string is $1875.00.

I think I read somewhere that these are available in June? Or, place an order for one now and expect it in June?

Would definitely want to know as well. Very interested in this.

Just found out from Peter - June is the target for the first batch.

Can't wait until some people get their hands on these for a few reviews from the wild!

My deposit is in on a Sage Green, 4 string Morado fingerboard. Now the hard part, waiting!!!

Yes, we should have our first batch in the shop in June. We have a few of each variation in wood/color/4 or 5 string coming to us. These should go quick, so email Peter if you want to reserve one.

Yep... we have a bunch coming in, you would just need to reserve one.

We played these at the NAMM Show, and they are incredible. Great basses, great price!

We actually have two RW/5's in the shop now if anyone is in NYC and wants to try one out.

My deposit is on a Sage Green 5 - always liked that color - yeah, the wait is a drag!!

Please ignore all of these posts for MetroExpress, MetroLine or any other "new" Sadowsky instruments from Japan. They are all bogus. There are no MetroExpress instruments available until June.

So counterfeits are already out there!!!

They are not counterfeits...what these guys do is post photos from my legitimate dealers websites and pretend they have them as inventory.

In the ad it says:

• We may be able to find for you if the item you are looking for is not on my online shop.
• We will search your requested item that you want to buy and offer it for reasonable price.

I am surprised that ebay allows ads like this. They are selling items they don't have...

How much of a deposit is required?

500

Okay, taking the plunge. Put a deposit on the ice blue alder/morado 5 string. Put your orders in early ladies.

Bogus?
Sadowsky Metroline RV5-Lefty (Dark Cherry Burst)

 

[Sadowsky]

This certainly appears legit. We only did one limited run of MetroLine lefties, so I would grab this if you were interested.
