NICE Joey!

It's going to be VERY much like my Suhr :cool:

Not much you can't do with these three?
 
Purple is my favorite color. So, when I ordered my custom build from Sadowsky
I talked to Kevin about the color and he said the trans purple basses they made
in the past (which isn't many) were very stunning. So, I went with it!

Believe me........I got the Prince comments from Kev as well!! :D
But, it's going to be a very unique bass that is very much me!

Just be prepared mate, a punter asked me if I was playing my SISTER'S bass?!?! :rollno::rollno:

True story, has happened once with the "purple people eater" in tow! :scowl: HA!

:D:D:D:D
 
Bingo! Somebody's gotta Xplain to me why THIS one's still available!!! I would even spring for an Xtra tort.

PS: Did you ever decide you might get a gold guard for a change-up Fran? I know it was on your mind awhile back.

I love that bass, but I don't need it at the moment and I'm trying to stick to things that I really need.

I've been very busy lately, but as soon as I have a minute to contact Kevin I'll go for the gold guard (I might need to send my current pg and that makes me feel a little unconfortable about the operation).
 
It's not a bass amp but you can borrow this....

I'll take it!!! I got a couple of Jackson Guitars that would sound great thru this baby!!

This is not my 1st purple bass. It will be my 3rd. I had a couple of Modulus Quantum 5 SS in purple. And, an ESP guitar in purple.

Will there be a vintage tint on the neck and fretboard? If yes, I also agree with gold hardware.

Vintage Tint = YES! Gold Hardware = NO! Im not a fan of Gold or Chrome. Black Hardware for me!

I still love the entertainment value my bass is creating here! :D
