Club Sadowsky!!!

Is that the infamous orange bomber?
Mr. DP, you're correct in all accounts. She now resides in SoCal :)
I need to check that thing out sometime. Legendary.
I thought I recognized that.
Ahhh yes... for a short time I had two insanely great solid ash/maple NYC MV5's with singles after nabbing that one from Ken to A/B with 4098. That is another special Sadowsky IMHO. :)
 
That bass makes you look positively diminutive.

That's why I wear the bass at such a high angle. :hmm:
Edit: I tried lowering the angle but then the stretch to play strains my arm a bit and it does not feel like a natural angle. The strap actually does not bother my neck at all, it's just the collar bone. Wearing a big bulky sweatshirt helps!

I mostly use my Metro RV5PJ for church. Really like the spalted top on yours, like that you went sans pickguard, the black hardware was a good choice. Congrats.

Glad that wonderful bass found a home. I had many, many, many wonderful gigs over the years with that instrument! Still looks great! Enjoy!

I still feel that 'moderate weight, ash/maple, single coils in 60's position' Sadowsky build is the 'sweet spot' in the line. Unique tone due to the 'Sadowsky' components and design, and the 60's position combined with ash/maple. It is THE Sadowsky tone to my ear.
