I check at least once, no, at least twice a day waiting for the one bass I dream of owning (spec wise) appearing on the TB classifieds. For the life of me, I'll never know how I missed this one. I would have pulled the trigger the second it walked into view.

Hey I got a set of Sadowsky strings to try!
Do I get a number?
Seriously though, there are some just killer sunburst 5's posted in this thread.
Vic's new flamed 5 and Dr. Greg's 5 come to mind!
Someday ..............

On Standard, Vintage and Ultra-Vintage J and PJ models you have the choice of 60s and 70s position of the J bridge pickup. I believe 60s is standard.
The Moderns have their own spacing.
If you're talking about string spacing at the bridge:
String spacing is 20mm on 4-string and 19mm on 5-string basses.
On NYC basses you can opt for 19mm on 4-string and 18mm on 5-string basses as well.
And now that I'm on it:
Nut width is 1.5" on 4-string and 1.875 on 5-string basses, except for the WL4, which is 1.45".
On NYC basses you can opt for 1.75" on 4-string and 5-string basses as well. On the WL5, 1.75" is standard.
On NYC models you can opt for a custom shaped neck as well for a small upcharge. For example: you can request a regular model with a 1.45" nut width, or you can ask them to shape a neck like the neck of another bass, given that you probably would have to send the neck to them.
Radius is 12" on all basses, except for Metro UV 4-strings, which have a 10" radius.
On NYC models, you can opt for a 9" radius on 4-string basses as well.

You're welcome!
Click for larger. It's a shot I took when I was in NYC, in September of 2010. Of course I also visited the Sadowsky shop, back then still in Brooklyn. I used my primitive Photoshop skills to add a little Sadowsky flavor to it.

Merry Christmas to all my Sadowskians. May your holiday be bright.
For those that knew or knew about Adrian Garcia, I was just thinking, kinda sadly about the song Silent Night that Adrian recorded years ago. It was one of the most beautiful versions that I had heard. God rest a wonderful friend. He will be in my thoughts for many years. I need to see if I can find that as he posted in here on TB.

Any links of that song still floating around? It might be a nice way to remember him right now...
