asingardenof Posted May 26, 2023 Posted May 26, 2023 Just seen some alleged prototypes in a Facebook post for the next iteration of the Chinese-made Sadowsky MetroExpress line. If this is legit (the FB group is one Roger Sadowsky regularly comments in so I'm hopeful he doesn't contradict it) then I'm officially saving for one of these. https://www.facebook.com/groups/2413733079/permalink/10160376228903080/ 2 3 Quote
asingardenof Posted May 26, 2023 Author Posted May 26, 2023 OK Roger Sadowsky has replied in the thread, it is happening. *flails* 2 1 Quote

Lw. Posted May 27, 2023 Posted May 27, 2023 I wonder how many of the first generation they would have sold if they'd had that logo on? 1 Quote

martthebass Posted May 29, 2023 Posted May 29, 2023 I’m pretty impressed with my gen 1 version but I suppose the East pre and the fact that it’s a fretless addressed some of the issues with some of the early gen 1 basses. Might have to have the new logo on the headstock though….yes I’m shallow. Quote
BassAgent Posted May 30, 2023 Posted May 30, 2023 Honestly considering e-mailing Warwick to see if they'll sell me a new neck with the Sadowsky logo on it. I like my 1st gen very very very much but man. That logo. 2 Quote
CookPassBabtridge Posted May 30, 2023 Posted May 30, 2023 (edited) Funny the difference a logo makes - I completely agree! Warwick are notorious for not selling necks separately but it may be different for the Sadowskys…also at the very least they could maybe sell some transfers as a cheaper DIY option?

BassAgent Posted May 30, 2023 Posted May 30, 2023 Well that would make it sort of counterfeit for me. If I'd have a logo retrofitted I'd send it to Warwick, probably. Quote

Expand The RSD logo would still be on the headstock so I doubt there'd be any confusion about what it is, plus I doubt Warwick are going to do that for you anyway. Could always ask I guess. To me it's more counterfeit that they sell it as a Sadowsky instead of Rockbass, RSD or whatever yet it doesn't have the Sadowsky logo on there. Quote
martthebass Posted May 30, 2023 Posted May 30, 2023 Can anyone advise where I could get one of these made up, I don’t have a printer setup anymore? Quote
