Im Workshop von Warwick im sächsischen Markneukirchen werden bekanntlich nicht nur Warwick-Bässe, sondern auch die europäischen Sadowsky-Bässe hergestellt. Da überrascht es nicht, dass auch Sadowsky Germany dieses Jahr wieder mit extrem hochwertigen Limited Editions auf der NAMM Show vertreten ist, sind die jährlichen Limited Editions doch eine Tradition des deutschen Herstellers. Limitiert auf weltweit 35 Stück (MasterBuilt-Serie) bzw. 135 Exemplare (MetroLine-Serie) kann man sich beim Erwerb eines dieser Schmuckstücke sicher sein, ein Instrument der internationalen Oberliga sein Eigen zu nennen. Hier zieht die Company unter der Leitung von Nicolas Wilfer in enger Zusammenarbeit mit Roger Sadowsky himself alle Register ihres Könnens, wobei die MasterBuilt-Serie zweifellos das Nonplusultra des modernen Bassbaus darstellt.
