Initially, the company repaired and modified instruments for New York musicians such as Marcus Miller, but later began manufacturing guitars and basses as a component brand.
In addition to the NYC series manufactured in America, Sadowsky had the Metroline series and Metroline Express series manufactured in Japan.
However, the Metroline series is made in Germany, the Metroline Express series is made in China, and the logo has changed.
This model belongs to the Metroline series, which was manufactured in Japan under the leadership of Okada International, which was an official Japanese import agent.
It looks like it has unusual specifications in some places, but the previous owner says he purchased a prototype. Since there is little reason to doubt its authenticity, we display it as such in our store.
Basically, I think it's a UV with a full-sized body, but the battery and preamplifier are housed differently than normal ones.
Another big difference is that it comes with a joint plate.
The product version was designed with a bush and no plate, but the sound has a classic texture, which makes a good impression.
PU looks like DiMarzio.
There is no doubt that it is Sadowsky's.
The body is Alder, and the fingerboard looks more like Indian Rosewood than Pauferro.
Since it's a prototype, the rarity of it in itself is likely to strike a chord, but we BASS GEEKs are actually drawn to the classic style of Sadowsky.
Approximately 80% of the frets remain.
The truss rod works well.
The neck is in good condition.
The condition of the body and painted surface is overall clean with no noticeable scratches.
The electrical system is in good condition.
The pickguard is made of clear material (1mm thick) and has a raised bottom. The strap pin is made by Jim Dunlop.
