Hi guys and welcome - or welcome back - to my YouTube channel!
Have you ever imagined being able to visit one of the most important factories of musical instruments in the world,
one of the strongest and most recognizable brands on the entire globe?
Let's talk about Sadowsky Guitars and talk about a brand, of a person - Rogers Sadoswky -
who made the production of electric guitars and basses an absolute excellence
Let's take a few examples of some artists who use or have used bass and Sadowsky guitars:
let's focus on electric bass, just to name someone.
We're talking about characters like Will Lee, Oskar Cartaya, Tal Wilkenfeld, Jason Newsted, Marcus Miller and the list could go on and on.
As you can see, among other things, they are all artists that come from different musical genres:
we have metal, fusion, jazz, pop... thus demonstrating the fact that Sadowsky produces transversal tools that can go well for any kind.
Before leaving you to the Factory Tour, I would like to thank Roger Sadowsky for giving me the opportunity
to visit his company and I would like to thank Peter Amos for accompanying me step by step through the visit,
so inside the laboratories, to the interior of the showroom, etc..
Thanks above all to all of you guys who follow me
and that you did grow this bassfamily so much
then giving me the opportunity to introduce myself to people like Roger Sadowsky
and to make videos like this!
Remember to leave a like to share the video with your friends
and subscribe to the channel: the more we are and the more important things we do together!
So… have a good vision and #bassyourlife!
doing a little tour Rob yeah you're hearing just a moment this is the bass
showroom so we keep we do about probably 30 to 40 basis well 30 or 40 instruments
a month we do about about half for dealers and about about half for
customers and about half for and half for stock so all these instruments are
here for people to come and try out if you wanted to buy one and walk out the
door with it there do there most of them for most of our for sale too so we're
constantly building instruments for stock and meeting them in the showroom
here this is also a redo that website photography okay we can do some more on
spend some more time in the base show everyone where when we're or finished up
so actually just sold the food guitars it's a little emptier than it is usually
which is I guess good that we sold a few and not good that it's empty here we got
two major lines of guitars we've got our NYC guitars a jar like our NYC bases
they're solid bodies we do number different body shapes like T style body
shapes neck style body shapes and that's a new body shape for calling our our
Broadway style guitar we've been doing for two years now and then we've got our
arch tops here which are sort of fixed models got a semi hollow and then three
arch tops of various of various body sizes and body depths mm-hmm the same
goes here these are these are for people to come in and play you know it's it's a
it's tricky when we do a lot of custom orders and stuff it's hard for people to
to kind of what what they want so we try
and keep stuff in here for people to come and check out and play and be able
to get a feel for you know feel for how the instruments kind of go and all that
kind of stuff made you know make it make sure we can we can build him what it is
that's gonna work for him so this is sort of the office the office area we
really said we're gonna mean we're gonna be we're gonna we're gonna be Lisa in
the back here very shortly so this is this is office area around the corner
boring office and stuff but this is an online store area karma he who you saw
briefly when you came in he's our online store manager our shipping manager so
this is where when an instruments ready to go comes up here he sees boxing one
up right now he does all that stuff everything that ships that's that that's
done right up here we also have an online store which is basically just
stuff that over the last you know 20 30 35 years that Rogers sort of collected
things that his customers really wanted that they weren't able to get elsewhere
you know and so so we've developed kind of a line of strings that Roger feels
are really really awesome guitar strings bass strings we sell our electronics our
preamps that banker polishes that we use here in the shop that kind of thing
straps then of course t-shirts all that good stuff
so that's all up here that's the online store so if you were to go on the web
site buy some strings that's gonna come
through the comments computer he's gonna he's gonna grab them off the shelf for
you get you ready to roll yeah sit ASCII mug yeah all right my story
dick guards for metros that's my office my office is a little more boring I
don't really have anything laughs so this is this is Rogers office
robbery out of town right now but Roger sorter has one foot you know
he's got he's got office space office space here because he's got you know
he's sort of got one foot in the front office hmm
handling a lot of a lot of business and then the back half of it there is his
workbench where he's sort of all around the shop doing doing work on various
things but it's also final checks every every instrument that leaves the shop so
right there we've got a lot of completed instruments that are gonna there you're
gonna get a final check from ROG when he plays back you know okay you made this
stuff and the finally sits up yep okay yep so Roger is the final stop for all
okay yeah so he does sort of the final inspection of everything sets him up
make sure that they're playing well all that good stuff and that's right that's
what a lot of those instruments are waiting for right there right behind you
you've got the kitchen he's kind of come during the during the lunch hour
Carmen loves being filmed while he's eating oh look that's the lunch area so
right here we've got in the sort of front chunk of the shop is where we do a
lot of pre-production work and that sort of thing so here we've had a couple of a
couple of finished bodies that looks like we're just in the middle of being
inspected you know making sure that there's no sort of irregularities or
anything in the finish that would require us to do any any buffing or
anything like that or anything we don't but uh yeah some cases entirely
refinishing them so we try and try and get
really thorough going-over as soon as they're finished and spray it'll be very
very very very thin finished in slavery any little thing it can be gonna be
tricky so you gotta check them over very very carefully so here we got spalted
maple top this is a 59 a 59 burst or a tobacco works kind of thing actually on
roasted or roasted body wood there yeah
she's really do a lot of the work on a pre-production work on them on the necks
so you know Tring fingerboards doing all the print work all that kind of stuff
that goes on that goes on right here
Eric one of our builders tfcc he's got a he's got a face he's it's getting ready
to getting ready to put together for us so when I say pre-production stuff up
there what we're talking about is a lot of the detail work that goes into
getting each part of the instrument ready so finish sanding and all the fret
work and all that sort of stuff on the next and then once there once they're
sprayed and all that good stuff because we spray the poly finish on the body
then we do a nitro finish on the necks once everything's were ready to roll
they go to one of our builders who-who do the final assembly on the instruments
and and that basically means they take finished body finished neck and they
turn it into a base that you can take home and play so they do you know wire
up the preamp you know all the pickups on there do all the hardware but put the
thing together all sorts of stuff like that so Eric
right now we got a little little luck I burrow there Buckeye burl it's like a
morado fingerboard
black box there
sighing third time yeah
that would be going to one of our dealers in China how many instruments
out for half maybe something like that we have a lot of really awesome dealers
and like all all over the world probably probably half and half I think is a good
that that really big dealer in Japan that's going to a really really awesome
deal that we have in China got another in Hong Kong got several in Europe your
music in Italy yeah if you've checked them out we're gonna be sending them
we're sending them a new baits pretty soon they just bought a really cool bass
out of stock already back out in there but yeah going going all over the place
a lot of it a lot of this stuff we do some of its direct to customers every
season we have a lot of really awesome dealers overseas this is Lisa's bitch
Lisa is our shop manager so she's sort of our head builder and and does a lot
of there's a lot of a lot of this sort of
workshopping an R&B of new designs and cool things we do there the cool cool
new pickup we've been we've been working on that at least it's been going back
and forth with our with our guys at Nordstrom that are helping us with that
and she does she does a lot of repair work for us and then
bill Beaufort and stuff
yep what she's doing right now is we're gonna put a bunch of 421 to disinvest
inside these pick a bunch of cool stuff
so all of our instruments are bolt on sir you know as a body and a neck that
are separate but from even for stock stuff you know that we're building for
the showroom and not for a customer from the second Lisa specs it out and besides
what we're gonna build and we start building it the neck and the body are
paired up you know we don't have a pilot's pile of bodies and sort of put
two together that look cool you know it's very very uh it's a they're they're
they're they're paired up for life so they move through the shop together
they're supposed to move through the shop together but since they're two
parts and they have to have different work done to them at different times
physically there except you know they're in all different places of the shop so
Lisa has the has been really the really excellent task instruments in various
stages of production time so Lisa gets to make sure that all the next over the
next bus speed and all the bodies are in the body's supposed to be which has just
got going on right now a little bit looks like but part of the way we do
that is that actually Lisa and Anna and I are sort of outside a guy we have who
does a lot of a lot of IT stuff for us but they put together a program that
helps us keep track of all that stuff so if you were to call me and wanted to
build a wanted to build a base we'd go through it I pull up my little my little
program that they that they got set up and I'm go through it and I we people
work through all the specs and I've got you know I punch them all in and then
when we're ready to roll I send it back to Lisa and Lisa starts building it but
in the meantime it gets a sign then you go forward to get numbers uh-huh so that
also goes on the body and that's how we keep track of
everything so ideally you know there's a there's a 2043 sitting on the shelf you
know waiting - waiting to be ready to go into final assembly you know there's a
twenty20 but you know so that's what all those all those four-digit numbers are
that's kind of what helps us keep things along these necks are pretty much
finished nothing else really has to go happen to them until they're ready to be
assembled you know and put together with the body but normally they travel around
in a little cardboard sleeve don't get too close to these anyone have like
names and have all that stuff little QR code here and what that is is each of
the each of the builders and all the guys that are doing everything on here
on the production side of things can literally just scan it when they get to
each different step and log log that they're doing the front work on the neck
now a log that they're doing finish standing an inspection on the on the
body so if six months into your build you call me back and you want to know
you know what's going on with it where is it I can actually look back on the on
the same on the same you know thing and go through it and see what's happening
with it and go find it that's our thing all that fun stuff so that helps us kind
of keep track of everything there how long is the process from the order to
the final about 10 months 10 miles yeah which you know it's not an assembly line
there's a lot of stuff that goes into it you know for example like those bodies
being that finishes being inspected if you see something we don't like we
reject it it goes and it does it again and take so things can take longer a lot
of the times things can take sometimes a little less time eight nine ten months
is not unusual but also twelve is it unusual so we usually tell people about
ten months term mouths yeah let me know as we go for we go for right before we
go for go for fast usually you know trying there's a lot of situations where
we try and go do something again or you know spend extra time with something
trying to get it trying to get it looking looking right Oh
single cut the model right now oh we do okay we sure do I can show you that when
we get back up to the showroom if you want you know part of the Tauri people
if you want for the you know part of it for the video we can go through and look
at it you know we go through and look at some of the models and stuff yeah some
of the cool things so these here are necks that are basically waiting for
waiting for body so you see little things like they peep the frets taped up
so so that they don't catch them outdoors yep some of them are and some
of them are some of them are for dealers some of them are gonna be for stock got
some cool things here like this is the sky it's good I mean you sometimes yeah
exactly it's got a cool curly maple fingerboard
uh-huh it's cool roasted maple roasted bird's-eye maple neck well
we're really pretty cool
our our basis we always use maple for the next Museo we use roasted maple we
use roasted flame or bird's-eye maple but that's basically it for the guitars
you do some kind of different things here is some morado right there uh-huh
different things we can do there now you have some problems with in Rosewood yes
yeah yeah starting to get some of it ironed out a little bit um but the
Sadie's agreements that restricted the shipping of Brazilian rosewood back in
the day they they broadened it in January so that it applies now to all
species of all species of Rose or dalbergia is this the science and
everything that everything that falls under that which is all the true Rose
woods like Madagascar rosewood Indian rosewood Brazilian rosewood Amazon
rosewood all that stuff but also a few other other things like cocobolo which
we used for tops show you their African Blackwood which we use for finger boards
sometimes so it's a that was a lot of the tricky tricky thing to to figure out
but uh a year later now you know they've sort of ironed out how all that works
and we're able to ship we're able to ship overseas with with all of them
except for Brazilian Brazilians but the others were able to ship with which is
cool took a long time those a lot of I think probably the different government
agencies kind of figuring out how they
these are cool so these are we chamber all of our bodies just gives us a really
nice lightweight and really that's right yes yeah correct exactly the metros we
don't we find that reduces the weight of the instrument by about a pound or a
pound and a quarter yeah pending and that's kind of what this what this what
this sort of looks like it's what the patents we they're all gonna be a little
different for example if we're gonna put a pick guard on an instrument we have to
make sure there are no chambers under where we're gonna drive screw you know
things like that so you can see for example the strap body you know uh-huh
we've chambered all down here because the bridge goes a little higher you know
on the base body the bridge goes down here so I can't chamber down there you
don't have to have things for the screws to go into the mocks about to do and you
can chamber yeah yeah there's a certain you know because a big concern that
Roger had that a lot of people have in general huh is is you know making sure
that the base still has a lot of sustain that it still has a lot of you know that
it that it's that it's still a really full sounding instrument and everything
is structurally sound and all that's there's only but you know only so much
you can do the Rogers been working on
almost almost 15 years now almost 15 years I might get the date wrong but I
think it's 2003 or 2004 when he started doing some of the chambering and it was
partial chambering then and now we're able to first more but what's that how
long was built the first model with the Chamber's I like I said I might get the
date wrong I can check for sure I've got it in my email huh I think 2003 true
telling truth okay and even then it's what we now call partial chambering so
an instrument from that era is still gonna weigh a little bit more than our
instruments now do cuz Rogers sort of kind of perfected the process a little
bit and figured out how to get the most weight out of the instrument without
okay without you know without compromising anything
else but Rodgers always been into coup stick instruments that sort of thing so
he really really prefers the sound of like a light resonant instrument but
also I mean just the fact of like you're gonna be sound better when you're
comfortable in like two hours into a bar gig that extra passionate extra pounds
you know that's a big difference over here is the probably my favorite stop on
the tour these are all of the figured tops which Roger Roger
selected yeah exactly which Roger cure we would say he curates them you know so
kind of interesting things that happen here when Roger get stops in me and
carmine up front you know we'll get the we'll get the box and we'll throw it
here and Roger comes back any sorts through them all you know decides what
we're gonna keep and what we're not gonna keep and this one he's got guys
that he's been working with for a really really long time and they know what kind
of cuts of what he likes and and and that sort of thing but once we decided
but once Roger decided we're gonna keep we sort it into quilted like for example
quilted maple here we sorted into master grade and standard grade and that comes
from you know back in the 90s Roger would still use like you hear people
refer to figured woods as like 3a or 5a you know which refers to how how how
highly figured they are but the problem with that is that it's really kind of
subjective like you might tell me you want a five a quilt maple top and I
might say great and I picked this top up and you be finish your bass and you get
it and you're like that's five looks more like three to me so what Roger
decided to do instead was just pick stuff that he thinks is particularly
highly figured or that has like a unique look to it and we just call it mastered
rate and Roger photographs it or puts a number on it photographs it and then I
put it up on the website and if you want to order your base that
base you were ordering from me pack up our yeah instead of having to
say oh I want to pay a little bit of extra money and get this five a quote
maple top and kind of hope that you know we pick one you like do you pay a little
extra get a super highly figured table and you go on our website and say wow
now I'm a quilted maple top number 85 that's beautiful and I go and I pick
this up and I write your name and your order number on it this is the top that
goes on here on your base or your guitar with so that's kind of what we ended up
doing with that and it's that's that works a lot that works a lot better
because everybody you know you think people who really you know value the the
figuring patterns and are really paying close attention to it can just pick what
they want exactly what they want which is really cool and you can see for
example how some of this stuff might work for example Buckeye burl mm-hmm we
don't do standard grade at all this is a really good illustration of how some of
these problems might imagine good calls calls
sit down some guitars and once a Buckeye Buckeye burl top and this is what you
have in your head you're like I want a Buckeye burl top this looks so great and
I say awesome Lucca let me go back and fix you a Buckeye burl top and we put
it's totally different right you know so stuff like this we actually don't even
do standard grade just because it's it's they vary so drastic it's so different
looking you know you would be we have no idea what you had in mind with you when
you said that you wanted Buckeye bro yeah they are really cool
one of our favorite Caesar these are really cool yeah well so this this works
a little better you know we had people who would have the same kind of same
kind of problems with with things that don't vary quite as drastically but they
had a particular a particular idea in their head about what they wanted it to
look like and if that's really important to the top mentor requests ooh
well truthfully it's probably quilt quilt maple you know quilt quilt maple
and flame maple there's no one's we get a lot
we've got other really cool tops the Buckeye burl is really popular it's also
really expensive it's hard to get it requires a lot of extra work to sort of
make sure that all these little sort of irregular spots in the wood are taken
care of so it's an expense an expensive top so you don't get quite as many
requests for it which that might be part of it because it's a little a little bit
pricey but there are a lot of other positive yeah this is my favorite it's
malted maple yeah and that one's really popular a lot of guys they like really
sort of unique cool figurine kind of go for this fall stuff it also all sorts of
things wild looking stuff this is cool stuff like that
just really really cool cool stuff you can see how Roger preps them too you
know so we would get a good book match on them you know sort of the reflections
there
yeah Wow there's some yeah that's really cool thanks fighting this small is fine
fry my favorite or actually I mentioned this one earlier that I'd show it to you
just go back in order we took them all numbered so I'll make sure they go back
in order so I can find them later this is one of the ones I was mentioning that
fell under the new that you say nice because it's a close relative of
rosewood it's a cocobolo where I go meet Lucas in a second too so never fear
very very cool stuff to many other body in order or ash Oh
probably ash a little bit more than all there we that is the the typical sound
of Sadovsky basis generally go sure either one but the the usual pairings
are that people pair up alder with rosewood okay and ash with maple maple
we also do Kume which is a which is similar to mahogany it's lighter but it
sounds like a mahogany so we use it that we like with ebony a lot but we'll also
use it sometimes with with rosewood we'd probably use ash a little more with all
there because when we when you mix them up like we're more likely to use ash
with rosewood then we are alder with maple so you know probably probably more
probably more ash than all there we also probably do a few more maple
fingerboards than we do and indeed rosewood but actually speaking of which
fingerboard
so this is the same sort of situation these are all of our finger boards we do
a similar thing with these where we roll great some is Master Grade we don't
photograph them for the website but if you want to pick your exact fingerboard
you know you can let me know and we'll do a Master Grade when I'll come back
here and I'll pick i'll pick three or four if I'm I'll photograph them for you
you say oh I really like one and two can I get some more like that and we'll go
we'll go through it like that and pick a finger board for you but we've got
Amazon rosewood which Rogers started using when the when the Brazilian
rosewood ended up ended up getting really tightly restricted because Amazon
rosewood looks very similar to Brazilian it's got the nice chocolate brown look
it's got like the nice sort of swirly swirly kind of kind of figure through it
and Brazilian is very similar to it in that way
we also have some cooling madagascar rosewood yes yeah yeah it's got the big
single streaks through it that look really cool
mm-hmm that's well that's my that's one of my favorite I like the magnet looks
like how many best you have bass I'm gonna guitar player Oh
well I've got I've got a few but I've got I've got a sit out ski telly body
that I used that they built for me six six months ago yeah done six months ago
so that's the thing only one is the only one I use yeah so I've never had a ton
of a ton of guitars but right now I only have a couple but I only only use one
but yeah is it M&E yeah it's gotten harder and harder to find that happening
it's sort of jet black it has a lot of this sort of streaking and stuff through
it but it looks really nice
poor user for fabulous miss yeah really popular for fretless it's really hard so
having the strings up you know it's it's sort of practically useful but also um
it's not bright super super bright so it doesn't make the fretless sound like
like thin and tinny I don't know if that makes sense but it's also really punchy
so the tricky part is using some of those softer woods in addition to them
like the strings being able to wear down on the wood they can also start to sound
really muddy but you know using the ebony keeps it really nice and defined
you can hear all the notes so ebony ebony is really good for the front list
once whereas maple is like too too bright it's weird and the Rosewood is
can make it sound muddy but also it's hard to hard to work with usually if we
were to use a rosewood or a morado for a fretless we would we would give it a
hard coating okay which would sort of kind of bring it even a little bit more
to the board of the ebony kind of neck of the woods for the way it sounds
here's the fingerboard spot bird's-eye maple fingerboard yeah
with flame maple
now we're back at the last stop on the tour so this is Lucas Lucas is does
sprays the nitro finish on all of our necks
that's the spray booth there so since Lucas does that that makes him sort of
the last stop for all the next so what he ends up doing it's a lot of sort of
the last bit finished sanding for making sure all the frets are perfect and all
that good stuff before they go to this breakage because once they go into the
spray booth if we have to do anything to them a lot of the time they can be
spraying and that sort of thing so Lucas has to make sure everything's perfect
check it off proceed from there
that's actually typical back
so if you find something where you know it's it's not perfect either bitch does
it fixes it himself or it takes it back up it takes it back up at the front as
it spits spit some extra time with it
that's my job so you know I do that but like if somebody that was doing fret
work before something along its before it got back here
that's not you know that needs to get a little bit touched up like during the
during the finishing process is Lucas supplies the Sadowski decals okay
and he also applies the serial number decals that go on the back of the
headstock so some people get a little bit confused with the way that the
serial numbers work so they're exactly sequential when they get to Lucas so
we'll get to puts you know number seven zero zero zero one one then you put
seven zero zero one then it's you know when it goes down and goes down the list
like that but after Lucas Lisa starts prioritizing which stuff gets built you
know we might you know if a customer if a customer build needs to get finished
we'll do that before we do a stock build and things like that so we'll get
spreads in the showroom of maybe 500 serial numbers like we've got a seventy
nine hundred in the showroom and we've got a 70 to 90
in the showroom so we'll get spreads of a lot and there it because they're
something we prioritize before even comes here for the serial number right a
little be a factory number for the neck that was maybe a few months ago do you
usually natural finish always why on the next on the next yeah do you use natural
finish natural yeah why is that vintage feel you know guitar started out within
a lot you know full-body the instruments are natural for this you know 60s 50s so
it has that real feel of like an old-school instrument mm-hmm but it's
also you know some people say it's hard to work with so you know I find it
actually easier because it blends into like it melts into successive layers of
each other and creates a nice strong finish that's poly urethanes later on
poly other things are also you know two-part chemical mixes it's a lot more
Messier and disposing of stuff and we only have a fine
you know amount of space I mean it is a nice spray blooms but it's not you know
like in California where they have exactly big warehouses one department
cleaning the guns and stuff and so it's also very you know easy to maintain
metro stuff and get acetone you cleans well all their stuff once the two-part
chemical polyurethane drives and solid plastic there's like you know taking
forever to melt they clean it out what not so you know it's that vintage
video the tradition of the feel of it and I'm also working with it from so
many years that we're so used to working with it that it's just so you know you
see told my things yeah easy to maintain everybody loves
the finish you know it's clashing it so we are maybe experimenting a little
polyurethanes for the next to keep them but that's just experimentation sort of
mentioned to us when they're talk about poly finishes on mix is that they start
to feel sticky it's that sort of plastic he filled he was talking about when that
when that wouldn't look from the way they're applied and they start to feel
sticky as your hand sweats or as you're playing these that sort of thing um so
we do a like a satin sort of finish on the nitro so it feels really nice and
comfortable it feels like you're playing against against like it's sanded wood
but as you play it at all so the nitro kind of buffs out a little bit to a
shine that's nice and smooth but it's but it's it's not it's it
doesn't do that same sort of sticky thing that can make it uncomfortable to
play it's really nice and comfortable we'll give the necklace like a lot Rises
range - very easy like maybe Nico's it's not that much for all night
good nature like for you know they loved like old fenders that stop those to be
like 16 20 coats with sealer color
with a very nice thing you know finish and hopefully when you play nothing
wears a
it was like little pair shoes thank you this this is this pretty Lucas does a
lot of things in batches so he'll get a ton of next ready and then get them get
them it looks like he's just starting a new batch so you have somebody sanded or
kind of ready
but you can see here what we'll do see one that's got a really sort of darker
tint to it you know sometimes will do that's that's an older
net but will sometimes do a little bit of a darker tint to it sometimes they'll
do like a really nice kind of kind of natural look to it you see that one next
to the next to the next to this sort of we're all looking when they're but you
will do different sort of shading content a little bit but we do a little
bit of a tint to give it a little bit of color we call it a vintage tint because
you see the next behind him there now the maple looks almost kind of paper
white it's really white so adding a little bit of a tint to it kind of gives
it a little bit more of like a C makes it count a little bit more like a
vintage look to it it looks a little softer yeah but that's that's actually
the tour guys that's the whole tour okay do you want to go back up and look at
the base sure yes yes right is the time to try some basis alright cool let's do
it you want to actually do the yeah
so Dan actually used to be our sales man and it used to be the me for about three
years and then decided he wanted to build bases well see three years I don't
think it was three years yes three years because I was the shipping manager for
three years almost is like two in ten monsters in Peter like to argue yeah I
used to be the shipping manager dual online store stuff and Dan was a sales
manager and just Dan decided he wanted to come he wanted to come back and start
building bases so then Dan came back here I moved to dance dance this is the
final steps before shipping yeah yeah I get a little more check from Roger okay
he does like that final final check and then it goes up it goes up to Carmen so
when we stopped in and saw Erik over here first where he's got the neck and
the body just kind of sitting separately there that's he's just getting started
this is a stand kana and the same process just getting finished up and
these are sadness serious bases which we can show you in the show room I've got
several of them we can we can let you check out dan dan does a lot of work
with the sentence because the assembly not most of the sadness that we do if
you end up on a little bit of a camera here we try to keep it as full as we can
instruments that are for sale some things are just like demos you know so
that we make sure we have one like that single cut there that one's not for sale
we just want to make sure we have a single cut for people to come and try
out so you see these check out some bases right now that's what the show so
a couple of cool things you've got here okay the rest of them are are in our NYC
bases the the metro line bases we make in a shop that Raj set up in Japan
they've been they've been building building instruments for us for 15 years
now maybe a little bit more than that even but the shop manager over there
actually worked when the shop was at Brooklyn worked worked with Roger for a
while and they went back and set this shop so they're unchain bird so they're
all heavier you're gonna pick him up you're gonna notice they're a little
heavier not have not super heavy nine pounds nine and a half pounds is pretty
typical whereas the NYC's eight pounds this guy right here is seven point one
seven pounds
Wow it's really like that's been half that's superlight for like seven and
three-quarter pounds or eight and a quarter pounds is pretty pretty normal
so the metros they use the same pickups we use the same preamp we use like I
said the guy the guy who builds who is in charge of the shop over there like
worked worked with Roger so they're really top-notch bases but the weight is
different and the other big thing you'll notice is that we don't do all the
different options that we do on the end my sponsor so it's gonna be no figured
tops we either do maple fingerboard or those just online that's it exactly yeah
and we've got seven or eight models of them now each of those models we've got
fifteen or twenty finishes there's a lot of options but if it's not one of those
options that's it then we go under the NYC's and with the end with the NYC's we
do figured figured tops we do roasted roasted cool roasted body woods or woods
we do some more variation the pickup to pickup placements and the pickup
varieties actually TC phone ringing see through it do some cool things like that
we do the chambering which makes them really really like well a lot later this
is the second serious yeah said a couple other things within the NYC line we also
started doing about two years ago we started doing what we call the satin
series which are instruments that were able to do here in the New York shop at
a price point that's like a little bit more reachable from people that can't
spend two or already spend the kind of money that we're talking about for some
of these things like that so chamber
when you saw Dan building this adds back that they're built right back with all
the others we do a lot fewer options we do a twenty-one French J let me do it 24
fret modern that's it okay and you do some things like we use the pre wired
preamps instead of hand wiring each one one at a time and we use the Metro
hardware which are still Rogers designs but Hipshot makes it for us and they're
overseas factory the NYC's we use the hip shot us stuff with little things
like that and limiting the options available kind of let us bump the
production times up and they let us keep the prices on down the one you notice
there is when we just finished up those were selling just through our dealers so
your music in Italy actually has been carrying those for us we're calling them
our deluxe satins mm-hmm which the same thing all goes into it but they have
they have figured maple tops and we we open up some some cool aesthetic options
mainly like the pink guard there's new transparent finishes that kind of thing
but your musics had a couple of them in stock and that was just waiting for
waiting for a home it's gonna go to one of our
pretty soon that's kind of it you're welcome to play whatever you like we
have a show the bit there's a bass amp in the guitar showroom will get basses
and plug-in in there you're welcome - thank you yeah of course
you
