I like how they moved the logo over to accommodate for the quick release string tree on the 4 string.
It now lines up just like the 5 string.
Nice!

Yeah, no 'guitars' on the logo neither.

 

[Chef]

Gui-what?

I vaguely remember hearing something about those.

Oh Lordy....I can see it now:
"Pre logo shift era Sadowsky's sound better than post logo shift....."
And used "pre logo shift" prices go through the roof!

You know I like that color combination

Contemplating putting in an order for a new Sadowsky...Can't decide on the color though. It's between Candy Apple Orange, Shell Pink, Trans-Walnut, or Trans-Burgundy.

Decisions decisions...

I'm also trying to decide if I should get it as solid Ash or not. Will it sound much different without the chambering?

Love my Will Lee 4 Hate the new string retainer. Lol

IMO, having owned both and having played many of each type, not enough to worry about. Yes, some of the routed ash bodies are REALLY lightweight, and once you get under 8 pounds, the tone seems to be impacted (not better or worse, but definitely less compressed and more open).

My 'solid ash' MV5 weighed around the same as most of the routed 5 strings (around 8.5 pounds, if I remember correctly).

The routing itself is more of a honeycomb thing, versus having big 'tone chambers' like a semi-acoustic instrument, so it is mainly about weight. Just spec one in that nice 8.5-9 pound 'sweet spot' weight for a 5 string, a bit less for a 4, and you should be good.

The cool thing is that Roger can make a bass REALLY lightweight if you want that, and that is a beautiful tone in the Sadowsky basses also. I had a VERY lightweight routed Modern (under 8 pounds) and it sounded huge and crisp and open.

IMO and IME.

What's your beef with the retainer? Jus' curious as a cat!

 

[bikeplate]

Just it's looks. Like the old fashioned circle

Ahhh, is there any noticeable functionality difference in the two types?

 

[bikeplate]

I'm not sure. Never had an issue w the circle type
