Sadowsky Tokyo Marcus Miller Style

[kenjikun]

Just found this here in Japan (Yamano Music Store).
Its a Marcus M style Jazz bass but is a SADOWSKY!
Is this model also available in the US?
Is this model approved by Mr. Roger Sadowsky because it seems a copy of Fender?

Sadowsky is my dream bass but my savings is still not enough to have one.

Didn't Roger make the pickguard and pre for marcus?

Post these over on the SADOWSKY thread, Roger will have an answer for you. It is possible that its a SADOWSKY neck with a FENDER MM Body.

Back then, Roger did some tech work for Marcus. He installed the preamp, but was not making preamps at the time. I believe the original preamp was a Starz or something of the sort, later replaced by a Bartolini two band. LOTS of threads on this if you want to do a search and get the full scoop.

Tokyo actually did a Sadowsky 6 string for a very short while. I'd really be intrerested in one.

That's a Sadowsky. Made those before the metros were introduced

Tokyo basses were available in the States a while back. I owned a 5-string with a treble cut/boost preamp, and Rock City in Somerville, Mass. had a black 4-string (IIRC) with a pre like the basses above.

I think I may be sexually attracted to this bass.
