I'd like to know what P pickup that is, too.

Vic,

Those are our normal 4 string Pickups Made by DiMarzio, Spec'd for us.

Rob, Re that spec'd business, I've noticed that the J pup in the 4 string PJ has a different "colouring" or character in it's tone than the P. & wondered what factor establishes the windings in the PJ4. I understand that a J bass pups have a different winding (bridge & neck) for a particular reason but they're both the same style. I don't understand what determines the J pup tone in a PJ set so they sound good when blended & aren't working against each other. I'm writing a book. JK!!! Thanks for any help.

Thx. Someone had to post close ups!

Those are outstanding kitty. The colouring is so lifelike.
Here's another of the bare maple but I can never get the light correct on my closeups. Nice effect just the same I guess.

So, our guitarist has had a friend informally shooting some vids at our recent gigs, and I happened to have my RV4 out for the date two weeks ago.

Apologies up front for the audio quality and casual hobbyist ( as Anthony Jackson refers to it) playing. But, dang it if the Sadowsky does not just sit exactly where you want it...Bass guitars just don't get much better than this, IME.

Approaching serial number 6000. Think we'll see anything special, perhaps in conjunction with revealing "Sadowsky Select"?

Wouldn't it make more sense to make something special for #10,000?

Craig,

Your bridge is made of Brass. We do not use Aluminum.

Robert

sorry , my bad the description I got said the bridge was nickel plated not chrome plated

 

[KaseOfBass]

For what its worth, I'm looking for some Sadowsky 5-string single coils to put in my MV5 and thought I'd ask here in addition to my WTB thread. They don't surface that often but I thought I'd check before dropping the coin on some new ones.

 

[rulyongo]

Ohhhhhhh yeah....

BluesyCat, your fretboard reminds me that I NEED a new Sadowsky!!!

 

[Jerry Ziarko]

Ohhhhhhh yeah....

Still about the best looking bass on the planet!

Here's something cool, but a little sick too:

If you look closely at the strings near the bridge pickup you'll note some blood spatter. I had a callous come off my finger early on during a 4-hour gig. Ugh. For the record, maple burl does a great job of hiding blood spatter.

Got my invoice in the mail today. Now for the long wait. Can't wait to see some Buckeye Burl pics to choose from.

I'm in the same spot as you. I got my invoice in September. It's a long freakin' wait.

 

[Chef]

Bartman, your bass looks like Mars.

Yeah, it's super cool! Really nice design!

Done few working gigs these days.... After a year of playing this baby, the neck just feel like home every times I play it...! Lovely!!

 

[P. Bass]

Timothy, what's that glossy stuff on your neck.
JK bro.
You & I went through the build wait at the same time & it still brings a smile doesn't it. Best wait time I ever went through. All the best bro.

BTW - Thanks for that great photo of H.K. on the Sad' forum site.

haha.. I'm fine with the "glossy", just not as sticky as some instrument necks.. and the glossy reminded me of how much I play this instrument, I had just intensively playing the bass 12hrs a day last week because of a gig....!!

I'm happy with the bass...A truly keeper and Go-to bass of mine!
