Club Sadowsky!!!

[Fran Diaz]

Mike,

Sorry for the late reply, I've been out of town (and offline) for the last week.

You are #396.

By the way, the fingerboard on that bass is off the hook! I wanna see a few closeups when you get it.

I've owned a 4 string Will Lee for almost 2 years, finding a used 5 is impossible so I ordered my first new Sadowsky back in Jan. Kevin sent me some pics today. I am so stoked.

What do ya think?

It's probably time I humbly ask for a number too.

BA Zing!!!

Next stop, spray booth.

Dude, nice! I forgot that this was going to be a P/J.
It is going to kill. Shouldn't be long now!!

Well I got my first Sadowsky today. 2002 5 string vintage that came from a collector. I think he had it out of the case twice. not a scratch on it. Man does this thing sound great! I had one of those what took you so long dumb*ss moments.

Just curious - in general, how do you guys feel about Ash / Rosewood spec Sadowsky JJ's?

I know the more popular is the Ash/Maple & Alder/Rosewood... just wondering your thoughts and Ash/Rosewood combo?

I played this at the shop (sadly, it had a sold sign on it) and it killed! 9lbs, Ash, Madagascar Rosewood

Man, that looks nice! Think I might have to go with a black or maybe tort guard to mix things up a bit. Congrats!

Well guys I got the message from Kevin today telling me that I owe him my first born and he will ship next week. It all seems so worth it.

Introducing 6143, weighing in at a mere 8.17 lbs

It is hard to wait......ahhhhh

SNAP!
That is super-fine.

Nice! What is that colour called? It almost looks like an orangy candy apple red.

This is a tough one for me. I've played a ash rw bass and saw nothing wrong with it. It depends on what your sound is. Mine is ash and maple. I like the scoop of ash and the punch and clarity of maple. The ash scoop and the warmth of rosewood should be very organic.

I probably just confused the situation. Good luck.

My WL4 is also CAO so needless to say, two big thumbs up from me. The pearl guard looks wicked too (I opted for black with a spare in tort...hmmmm).

Later

I think its a great combo, I prefer the resonance of ash to that of alder. You can still brighten up the tone with the preamp, wont be punchy maple but crisply warm.

Thanks and I agree. That mint color pg is not doing it for me either. I already spoke to Kevin and I have to send this one in to get another. Also undecided between black or tort.
