Club Sadowsky!!!

Sadowsky provide protectors to put over the supports on the guitar stands such as the "Ultimate" that support the guitar / bass by the neck. The top part of these stands that actually contacts the finish of the neck of the bass has a smooth type of what appears to be a type of rubber?

Has anyone had any problems with the nitro finish on the neck of their Sadowsky from NOT using the provided protectors?
 
That Koa top is sick.. Im makes me want another sadowsky.... I always loved the way Koa looks.. It is Koa right? If not im looking stupid right now.. hahaha
Yours is a beauty! And i love Sadowsky basses...

Koa indeed. I had Kevin send me pictures of every 25th Anniversary body that came in until that one popped up. It's almost exactly like one I missed out on. It's got a custom reverse-wired blend pot.

Both the Herculese and Genesis hanging type stands are rated 'nitro friendly' so no need to use those. I believe the stands that benefit from them are the old 'tubular' type stands with the yellow rubber type tube padding on the upper support part of the stand.

THat's good to hear about the Hercules, I have two Sadowsky's hanging on them (its a tripple stand with the "catch" hangers), and couldn't for the life of me work out how to get Roger's fuzzy finger warmers to go over the stand. I was trying to work out whaqt they were for and my best guess was to keep your ring and pinky finger on the right hand warm while the others were busy playing! :D
 
Hmmm, been meaning to start a thread on this, but does anyone know of stands like the warwick 3, 5 and 7 stands that are nitro friendly? Something like this... Cheers

Here is a website that shows info on the RB and RJ models - but the RA is not mentioned:

(The only error I can see on this is the RJ is vol, vol vs. vol, pan as indicated.)

Bump for anybody with more info on the Tokyo's - they are right up there with the NYC's and Metro's in my book.

I always cringe when I see the email come in with "IN STOCK" updates from Sadowsky. This is very yummy...This would have probably been my second choice of 24 fret models instead of the one I have.

+1 Yeah, I have a Standard 5 in this color. And, this one is sure nice @ $3925.!! The Black 24/4 is hot too!
I get nervous when I get the new update emails as well. I'm afraid I will see my next bass and get
in panic mode "what can I sell....what can I sell?"
