I think the Souther Cali effect is that the bass suddenly feels more laid back and prone to 'taking it easy'. Could account for it.

So i gave my Sister and her family an Xmas shopping list.. 
... if they have time to go to Roger's shop. They said Thursday would be the only day they could go there....on their way to Boston as part of their trek. My nephew is visiting theatre colleges in the area...and yeah, he plays bass as a hobby.

He'll be converted soon enough...
Speaking of converts... I'm selling my other basses now. The Metro HPJ currently meets all of my needs and I have no desire to even touch my others. With child #3 on the way I have to make room for the new nursery (my old music room) and I didn't think twice about selling my Fender and Ben Lindsey custom... as well as a couple of cabs. As a guy that used to go thru a lot of different basses that says to me that Roger and his crew really makes a quality product.
After all the basses and amps and cabs, this is all that keeps me satisfied at the moment.
Thanks Roger.
Eventually I might look into buying a 5 string. Is there much difference in the necks (width, thickness, feel) between the Metro Modern 5 and the UV70 5s?
I'm doing the same thing...selling an old Fender J and a Ric as we speak.

Yes, yes it seems I *was* seeing that right. He's listed on the Sadowsky artists page.
Ran into this by accident, I wonder if there is any relationship to Roger??????

I just visited the shop this morning to mess around with some basses & to go over my custom NYC build and I must say - this bass has to be seen in person! Its crazy amazing!!!
The photo's do not do bass justice at all. The nitro checking and aging is just awsome! Every thing on this instruments, even down to the pickup cover screws are aged. Amazing!

Yup - and trust me, you cannot even begin to see all the little details you see in person from this photo.
The tiny little cracks in the finish... the aged everything (even the Dunlop straplocks) - the Sadowsky logo has a vintage vibe - just all out amazing!
Its aged, but not overtly... just perfect.
