gotta ask, what are the control on those?

Starting from the top:
Volume
Blend
VTC
Bass/Treble
Mid Boost&Cut/Mid Frequency

I added the mid EQ. Should buy the Sadowsky stacked knobs to finish the look.

Hey John - nice bass. Could you take some more photos of the scenery, please? :) I have a short GAS list but a reverse P Sadowsky is on it...

Haha there's not that much to see (unless you live in a concrete jungle), but i'll take one or two later.

Im likin' that black overhaul! I'd like to have a reverse pj too!

Thanks Bluesy! The reverse isn't a whole lot different than the standard P; sounds just like them but with a little more definition I guess. with the reverse though I can get really close to a J-Bass slap tone with some mid scooping.

I'm just still so surprised by the slap tone these flats get...I have some Fodera Victor Wooten sig. strings and those new Ernie Ball Cobalt strings on order, I'll see how I feel about those later.

A quick shot from a benefit that we played on Friday night!
Good times had by all... And my Sadowsky continues to rule!

Hey guys, just received my new RV5-PJ. AWESOME BASS! But just to ask, isn't the bass supposed to come with strap locks as standard? Or is that only in the NYCs?

Hmmm....

I think the Metros that you get directly from Roger's shop also have them pre-installed, no?

Otherwise, I believe they are just standard buttons on Metros.

IIRC, I had to ask for the dunlops on my metros, and it was some small cost deal.
I could be wrong.

Nah, I think you're right. I just went to the site and I think those pictured are still the standard buttons. Maybe the deal is just the fact that you can easily order them with them (with upcharge) from the NYC shop.

FINALLY took some nice pics outside with the best camera I could find (which, funny enough is an iphone 4 :hiding: ). I just did a complete hardware swap from chrome to black and I must say, I'm luvin' this look much more :hyper: (They did suggest I go with black first but oh well, stubborn me).

Also just got some Sadowsky flats...WOW these strings with this bass might just make me a flats-only type of guy, even the slap tone sounds great (the first flats i've ever used that had a slap tone I like). These are the standard set, I'm wondering if anyone tried the light set before and if it's a very noticable difference in tension? I like light strings so just curious...these are pretty decent in tension for my tastes.

Tried it in two very different groups yesterday: A brass ensemble (there are no good tuba players here so they got me instead) and in the backup band of a Smooth Jazz/R&B type saxophonist...seriously, this is BY FAR the most versatile AND most comfortable bass I've ever laid hands on.

Enough talking...PICS!
