Club Sadowsky!!!

[BluesyCat]

@NAMM... well... tomorrow, actually... but the weather here is AMAZING... went from a deep 11 degree 6" of snow to 70+ degrees and sunny. Sitting here typing this up with the hotel door open and it's great. I'll have to see if any Sadowsky basses show up in some booths.

Nice weather in CA isn't it? C ya Friday morning...

I think a Metro MV4-HPJ is on my wish list now

I highly recommend them....

 

[SpectorDetector]

Here ya go. LOL. ....You WISH!
Maybe for an "I'm In" pic on the bass' 1st anniversary.
(Keep in mind unlike the J pg, I have to remove all knobs & if I take off the pg, the pots are not tied down to the body - just to the top of the pg. The locking nuts fix the pots to the pg even though the shafts go through a hole in the body. It's a bit of work.)

Eh, it's easy, I did mine in 15 minutes while I sat on the couch.

No beats, just a silly Bass line....I think my instructor will be upset since i just noodled and did not practice what he gave me...MY NYC 5, straight to camera, this time i did not use my M-AUDIO interface....the cam is a good cam but the mic is crappy. Audio interface from now on.

I was told it was one of the first Will Lee V's

Awwwwww man this is nice. Lucky you...enjoy!

If you get a chance, I'd love it if you could take a few of the new Reverend basses for a test drive. I'm curious.

Rwider: That WL5 looks sweet!

You will not meet a nicer person, we are lucky here on the eastcoast we can just stop by the shop. Remember we will not believe you unless you take pics......J/K. But no seriously we want pics.

1st of all - Welcome to Club Sadowsky bro!
Wait til you see that top under the gloss of the finish. YIKES!
Nothing you think you know about THAT will prepare you for whats comin'. As a first time Sad' owner myself, I can tell you you won't soon forget it! Can't wait to see some pics of it. Anyone gone thru the build process knows what you're goin' thru. All the best.
Blair.

That's one of the nicest Buckeye Burl tops I've ever seen!
