yeah, seen those. Actually did find the owner of one but couldn't pry it away. Would love to find most any of those and make an offer...
Or I could buy a Valenti or another Roscoe 
Or wait for another Sadowsky to pop up...luckily TB is kinda like a bass bus terminal.

LOL, Vic!! This one had me checking my Credit Card statements for a while.
Glad, it disappeared off the site. It was haunting me!!

There's something about that 5532 that makes me drool every time I see it!!! What a piece of art!!!
yup, I missed it. Wasn't in the market for that configuration at the time...that's the way it goes sometimes.
OH MY GOD!!!!!! I FINALLY GOT IT!
In more ways than one...I definitely get the hype at least in terms of feel; playing is effortless with this thing, and my god this thing is gorgeous!!! (I'm far from home so I'm gonna find a guitar center to try it out with an amp tomorrow). Not to mention I almost threw this thing into the roof when I first lifted it out the case, it's so light!! screw the 7 day period, this is, most definitely, based on feel and construction so far, the best bass I've ever played, a definite keeper. Will give more details and pics after I've gotten back home.
Thanks Roger & team!!!

Really? NICE!! Got any pictures? I had one and LOVED it, but in a recent Sadowsky bass shuffle I did, I replaced it with pretty much the same thing in an NYC. Chasarms now owns my MV5-24, and I believe it's still killin' for him too. You should be VERY happy with it!!
Which pickups did you get in it? Single Coil or Hum Canceling?
Here's the one I sold to Chasarms:
After closely following this thread for the last few years
cool I was considering ordering singles. There seems to be a great deal of praise for the single coils but I decided to try the HCs and if I need more mids I might chuck em in further down the track. The bass is Ash/maple, lake placid blue. It arrives on monday so i'll post some pics and my thoughts soon after that.

I have a VALENTI 24F and we weighed it and it weighs 7.5 pounds, that baby is not going anywhere, if you go on his site it is the featured instrument...good luck in your search.
You know, I revisited the HC's recently, and while I still generally prefer the SC sound, it's NOT AT ALL like I didn't like the HC's... not at all. They sounded great to me, and I predict you're not gonna' be all that compelled to change.After closely following this thread for the last few years

Of course it is entirely personal taste and subjective. The HC's don't sound bad, it's just that the SC's sound better. IMO and IME, of course...
I actually like the HC's better on Alder/rosewood-morado Sadowskys with Nickel rounds. They seem to fatten them up a bit. But to me it's SC'x all the way on Ash-maples.
