Will do, but right now, it just looks like clean maple.Hey Vic, whenever you find the time I'd love to see a pic of how the back of the neck looks with the new finish.

Would like to proudly join the Sadowsky club! Number? RV4 Metro
Enjoy!Maybe tomorrow I'll have an NBD post to make. It all depends on whether I can whip out a camera and take pictures of it. Think Sadowsky UV70-5, piano black on ash, white pickguard, maple neck with black blocks and binding.
Since mine doesn't exist (no pics), you can look at this one, which appears to be identical. (Click on pic.)

.Aargh, the hardest part of the waiting process is the very last moments! When ordering, of course there's some excitement, but during the following months, it's quite bearable, as I don't think about it every minute anymore, but dang, the last weeks/days sure are hard...

Man, got 4098 back in my hands today. I had no idea how much I missed that bass. Dayum. This bass will be part of my will for sure.
The tru-oil finish on the neck is just phenomenal. Exactly what I hoped for. Just feels like smooth wood, with that kinda' warmth you get when there's not a layer of poly/nitro on it. I'll eagerly anticipate when it starts to really look and feel more like a well played early 60's J.

That sounds awesome who did the work?
By the way enjoyed the video! killer production, amazing how many styles your band covers and all extremely well I might add![]()

...and I can't tell you how honored I am to both own it as well as enjoy the kind of personal attention you guys always give your customers. Every single time I interact with ANYONE at the shop, I feel like royalty, and I know you treat all your customers that way. Truly exemplary service. To me, that kind of encapsulates the "Sadowsky experience"... that and a TRUCKLOAD of TONE.Is was worked on by Robert, David, Julian and me.

Nothing in bassdom better than a black J made by Roger et al!Maybe tomorrow I'll have an NBD post to make. It all depends on whether I can whip out a camera and take pictures of it. Think Sadowsky UV70-5, piano black on ash, white pickguard, maple neck with black blocks and binding.

concur.
I'm always happy to give the Sadowsky crew my business, for just those reasons.
I very much like their product too![]()
Both Metros I've had the pleasure of playing have been perfect. Great instruments presuming you are able to pick one in your weight range.Well, it's a Metro, but maybe Roger waved a wand over it or something.
