After 34 separate threads on these seductive basses, I figured it might be time to share my sweetheart with you.This taken at our Monday night duo gig in an Irish pub in France.

If all goes well, I plan on visiting the showroom on Friday to ask a bunch of questions, A/B various things and possibly commission a build...

One thing I'm most curious is the roasted maple neck...anyone out there have any experience with them vs regular maple necks?

Does it add time to your build?

Hey kinda of a long video, but it's my Sadowsky Original
P-5 string in action into a Walkabout amp and my Bergantino NV-115 prototypes and a MicroPog.. Sorry bought the few flubs in the solo, but it's rock and roll.. This a local band here that I've been filling in with for a few months.. Great guys and Allison is not only beautiful outside, but inside as well...

I'll let you know when I receive mine. Just paid in full and should have it some time this week :eek:

I also have a maple metro so I'd be able to A/B them.

As far as I know, build time is no different then the other necks.

LOL! thought about it, but then how could i recoup the funds spent :eyebrow:

thought about taking a long lunch break to drive home, but then thought it would be such as tease to open it up and only spend a couple minutes

oh well, unproductive day it is!!! :smug:

working and knowing that your Sadowsky is sitting in a box waiting for you at home

Dude, you don't look so well... you better go home and rest a bit, rather than irresponsibly spreading it amongst your co-workers. I'm sure they'd appreciate your putting their interests first... just sayin'... ;)

Go home! Signature not required for such a nice bass?! I wouldn't be able to resist going home to let it in the house so I knew it was safe and sound...:hyper:

Benn thinking of ordering up a Sadowsky here soon. I'm not one for having a ton of basses around. Really, I would just like to have two basses that I really love. Right now I have Ken Lawrence, which I absolutely will never part with, a Nordy and a Skjold Gen 5. As much as I like the other basses, neither has been the perfect "other" bass I have been looking for. So, I'm thinking that maybe it's time to try a Sadowsky and see how that sits with me. I'm thinking Modern 24 with a P/J setup, with the reverse P layout. I really like the modern 24 body style, as I'm really not much of what you would call a traditional Fender fan. Roger had mentioned that this leaves very little slapping room between the end of the neck and the pick up on the D & G strings. Anyone have this layout and can comment on the slapability? Not that I'm a slapper by any means, but it's nice to have the option.

I want a bass where I don't feel like the D & G strings don't sound thin to me when I play with a pick. So far, the only basses I have ever encountered that don't feel this way with my technique, are either reverse P layouts, or the basses where the front jazz pick up is angled towards the neck under the D & G, like some of the Warwicks. Seems like my only option with a Sadowsky would be the reverse P, so I'm wondering if anyone has ever done this pick up layout on the modern 24 body.

Argh! I just did something really stupid to my Metro HPJ-4. I was trying to remove the knob from the VTC control and accidentally ripped out the VTC pot post from the push/pull potentiometer. I was trying to install a set of P knobs that the shop recommended, but the Sadowsky knobs seem epoxied in place!

Now, I need a new push/pull pot.

Folks...don't try this at home. For rizzle.

I don't know what PJ you're talking about (can you repost the photo?), but Roger's P style chrome knobs are great and they can be bought from him.

Are these the ones you like?
