[quote name='Apothem' post='822111' date='Apr 28 2010, 04:30 PM']I believe this is a Japanese UV70 Metro instead (do not get me wrong, they are also very good indeed). First of all, USA instruments have a slightly different logo on the headstock, that says "Sadowsky Guitars - NYC", and second because Roger says that blocks and binding are not available even as an option on NYC instruments (I've asked him personally and it's also on the website). Moreover, the asking price for a similar NYC would be higher.
Nonetheless a great bass[/quote]
Thanks for that - I assumed it was Japanese because I couldn't ever remember seeing blocks on an NYC
