Sadowsky

The company was started in 1979 and took its name from its founder, Roger Sadowsky, known for "being one of the industry's master craftsmen".

Sadowsky

Sadowsky started out modifying vintage Fender basses, which were at that time inexpensive, to improve their sound by adding more noise reduction technology and replacing the passive electronics with an active preamp, which increases the bass's signal-to-noise ratio. Once the price of vintage bass guitars began to increase, Sadowsky started making new bass guitars, and then signature models. Notable players of Sadowsky include Walter Brecker, Prince & Pat Metheny to name a few.
