I have a matching NYC. It's my go-to-bass for so many reasons. This one is probably smoking!

No "probably" about it. Just ask Bob or Jed

jebmd · #7 09-25-2011, 03:38 PM

I concur.

How would anyone really know "it's smoking"! It seems to be a wall flower, never played. I own a Sadowsky and I play it, every weekend (and it smokes).

Where does it say you have to beat the crap out of an instrument to have "played" it? I take care of all of my instruments as anyone who has ever dealt with me can attest to.

Mis-understood. It's gorgeous!

Great bass. Bump!

glws fellow chicagoian!

**Joelc73** · #14 10-03-2011, 08:15 AM

Is this bass chambered or solid? The weight makes me think it could be solid -- which would be sweet!

BIGREDSIX · #15 10-03-2011, 08:33 AM

The Ash body is chambered according to Kevin @ Sadowsky.

Good stuff always comes up when dollars can't be found in my bank account

LOL, I bought it from you a while back on ebay. And then did the consignment deal to get another Standard 4.

I had the Singles installed. The bass is a players bass. Great tone, great neck and light weight. Perfect! Oh yeah, it's gorgeous too!

Bump for a killer bass!
