Warwick-Sadowsky Basses up on the site

That is a good looking bass. The tuners look like they are quality. The irony is that now that Sadowsky is making very affordable basses, I really do not need another Jazz because my Fender and Carvin are awesome. I would, however, really love to have a Roger Sadowsky Design Verdine White Signature five string.

 

Price is good. The bass looks great. Whats not to like.

 

the Metro Express basses are not being produced in Germany.

 

This particular model is not the Warwick-Sadowsky version. This one is from the factory in China.

 

If I need a bass for non standard tuning, this may be what I get.

I wonder if the fretless is inclined. If so, a 5 string is probably happening ( I hope there are other color choices besides black).

 

I bought the Sadowsky Metro Express PJ Bass 4 string in white. It's not a bad bass, but the preamp is so noisy. Even in passive mode, the pickups are noisy. Mine is going back to the Nashville (Warick Sadowsky HQ) to hopefully get this fixed or get a replacement. I have played basses that are a couple hundred bucks that were less nosiey then this one. From what I'm reading and seeing on-line this is a common theme with the basses. I wish they would offer the VTC control for a little more money, or simply a passive bass. the nosie assoaciated with this bass is very frustrating. Didn't matter what amp I used either, from Mesa, Ampeg, EBS, Aguilar, Markbass.....this thing is noisey.

 

Interesting business model Warwick is engaging in.
