That's just pure beauty there...
That is all...
Yeah but you got SpiderWeb!!!
Kevin, I'm still trying to stop shaking from the effect it has had on me. I haven't been thru this before & it's a REAL jolt! I'm just ecstatic! I can't imagine what unzipping the PortaBag will be like.(let alone sinking a cable & LISTENING to it)
B.
don't be afraid to go PJ. Plenty of mids on my ash/mp PJ4...and I have my single coiled JJ for good measure.
Here is my Happiness sorry for the crappy Phone pic to lazy to get the camera and shoot, now waiting on one more RS210, thank you Roger for 2010 and my very first Sadowsky....i Don't Gig but i sure like to watch my windows shake when i plug into the TC RH 450 and cabs and get the SADOWSKY going, LOL.
Happy New Year.

Nice rig and bass!!! I use my Sadowsky's with TC RH450/ RS210/RS212 .......... THEY ABSOLUTELY KICK ASS!!!!!!!!!!
Also... thanks to Roger for using larger side dots on the neck. It's a small touch, but makes a big difference to me, because my busiest band has a crappy lightshow. It's probably because we play a lot of modern rock, but we're all in our 40's and 50's.

I am green with envy over your red and blue side LEDs. Those are indeed the optimum solution. I should've increased my budget just a bit to allow for those!

Did you handle this yourself or did you have Sadowsky have this done? Are they Sims Custom?

Thanks for the info. I really like my Metro Will Lee (ash/maple) and the comfort of the small body/neck have made me want to replace my full size bodied Vintage 4 (alder/maple). I thought I'd decided but I am intrigued at getting the PJ configuration in the small body with the WL neck profile and alder/rw. That would give me a really versatlie group of basses. Yet, I'm wondering if I should just stick with the sc jj setup. I am definitely looking for a warmer, vintage sound out of this one with a nice thick low mid punch. I think the closer you get to pulling the trigger on a custom order the more you get the "what if's"!!!!!!
I have owned two Sadowsky PJ5s. An NYC Ash/maple and the Metro I have how, Alder/Mor.
I like them a lot. I also owned a SC JJ5, and of the the three, I prefer either of the PJs over the SC bass. To my ear, adding the nature of a jazz-style bridge PU to the classic P is a perfect variation on the classis theme. It is general classic in nature but with a lot of diversity in tone. It is my opinion that you can cover more ground tonally with a PJ than any JJ config I know of.
All that said, the SC JJ setup is what it is. If that's the sound in your head, there's not really many other ways to get there.
For me, either model (and I own and love both... in fact, I just gigged both last night) is just as versatile as the other. Just really depends on if you want a P with a modern variation as an option, or a J. Because one will never sound just like the other. There's only about a (very roughly speaking) 33% tonal overlap. Gotta' keep that in mind.
I'd say this is also true for the HC JJ setup... basically, there's (obviously) no way to emulate the more traditionally based J sound with both pickups on, so it really boils down to what tonal base you want. Clearly, you're in the PJ camp. I generally gravitate towards the JJ camp, but still very much love the PJ.

Now I am really wishing I'd spent some time with a pj when I was at the shop in August. I have a Fender Am Std with PJ Fralins but I am going to sell it (just dont want P necks anymore). For some reason, it isn't really giving me the comparison I am lokking for though.
Personally I think P basses hang better on women than J basses do, in general. That upper horn tends to get in the way on a full-sized J.
This woman prefers the hang of a J over a P...
But I can attest to a full size J body being a little bulkier than I like, which is exactly why I love the smaller upper horn of the Sads. Roscoes have a similar design in that respect, very comfy body those.
This woman prefers the hang of a J over a P...
Oh I agree. The Sadowsky trimmed down body is great. That's why I have one myself.

Is this woman married?.
I'll join in!

Hey, I saw that one on ebay I think...Forget the looks, (that's just character)how does she play? Love the feel of the older necks!
