    Seven years after beginning his career in building, repairing, and upgrading instruments, a new repair shop is established by Roger Sadowsky in Manhattan, New York City.  With a clientele of most of the top NYC session and touring musicians, Roger began building his own electric basses in 1982.   Roger soon became a well-known figure in the guitar and bass building community.

     

    With increased demand for Sadowsky Basses in the US, Europe and Japan, Roger partnered with his distributor in Japan to produce a more  affordable line of basses.  He trained Japanese builder Yoshi Kikuchi for 10 months so he could return to Japan and begin producing the all new Sadowsky MetroLine basses.
