There's one in the classifieds right now - reverse P pickups though.... and it's in Singapore.

Damn I like that seafoam green!

 

[BluesyCat]

Is he a "keeper" tho'?

Oh yeah. For sure!

Very cool, thanks for posting, your clean tone sounded killer.

 

[cripula]

I wanna know how he got a WL preamp in that thing!

Just got these in from Kevin over at Sadowsky. Hopefully when I pick it up I can get a number!

Also got a clear pickguard with it just in case I want to swap it out for a different look.

I'm sure you won't leave that beauty at the shop for too long so here is your number #341.

welcome

Mine is built in Nov. '94 serial number is 1962 and did you check the control plate? There is a pencil marking for the build date on the back side..

The control plate is covered with foil, probably done when they put in the VTC

If you e-mail Roger will give an exact build date they keep really good records on that sort of thing

Live vid: Outdoor gig, ugly cam sound, but I think the PJ can be at least heard.


Video-clip with studio track

Fran - Sounds great! Are you using flats on that PJ in these clips?

Thanks!

yeah, Sadowsky flats on both. I love those flats: great tone, perfect tension. I'd love to see Roger releasing another set with a thicker gauge for the G & D strings, just to feel a little more 'meat' under the finger tips, but until that happens these strings are 'me'.

Does anyone how "old" my NYC 5string is?
Serial 2659.
The pickups look newer than the bass and there's VTC installed.

Roog,

2659 was built in August 1997. It originally had Bartolini's in it, so that's why the PU's look newer.

Dragonbass, thanks!
I prefer these picks so i'm happy with that.
I don't like bartolinis.
Were all basses equipped with barts in that period ?

I suspected the same, and am also VERY curious to know if I could possibly get ahold of a Will Lee preamp. I think having that mid control would come in handy on an ash/maple spec'd model with HC's, especially when playing on the back pickup.

My older Sadowsky has Barts in them and they actually sound great when combined with the Sadowsky preamp.

With Marc Ong on Youtube they sound great too, with my style they don't work to well, less dynamic than the sadowsky pups and less "open".(imho)
They do sound fatter though.

Well, keep in mind that bart has different J pickup styles, and also does custom winds for LOTS of people.
