Hi Blair, Thanks for the sharing!! I saw my bass seems!!!

My pleasure Timothy. You never know, I may even get to see YOU in the not too distant future, & hear it. We hope to take a trip to Vietnam with a stop over in HK - MAYBE next year. Spent some time getting familiar with NYC Chinatown (& Little Italy) while there, & got to appreciate the character of the place. Apparently much like that in HK. Not for the faint of heart as it were.

Hi Blair, Good to know! Do let me know when you drop by HK and I could show you around! I believe HK is even better and exciting than NYC Chinatown?

Mind I share the "pic of my bass" ??

Will you settle for 12?

Great pics, thanks for sharing Blair!

Great stuff Blair! I'm giving serious thought to adjusting the Sadowsky stable:

1. Send NYC V4PJ back for new pickguard and route for 2 single coil j's.
2. Sell Metro Will Lee 4
3. Order a new P4.

Will do, I'm still in the decision stage (but that may be very soon). If I order a new NYC, something has to go $$ money wise for sure!

Only have a couple more. The rest of the truckload are from other aspects of the trip Fran. I'll post a few from the Brooklyn bridge also since it's a walk I've been waiting to do all my life & you won't see too many photos that are any better from the boards.
Copy this stuff for posterity if you are inclined. The ones of the top wood are not as good as you will find on site from the select top wood but these have special fingers included . The one of Roger was really under exposed due to lots of back light & I did what I could with it. If anyone with the chops can improve stuff like that, I'll post the original & you could re-post it for us.

Replacement of 1st posted photo

This is a very special suspension bridge. 1st of its scope in America. Ken Burns has a good doc on it if you can access the DVD.

Empire State Bldg on Left - Chrysler Bldg. (my favorite "Art Deco" architecture in NYC) on the right.

Almost completed new tower on Left.

Wow, some super photos there (wood and architecture)! I really need to get back to NYC.

Most quilt looks watery. This one looks cloudy (in a good way, of course). I hope I get to see it on a completed bass!

Excellent photos, Blair, thank you!

"Cloudy" is a good description. It's like the wood is layered like a rising terrace from edge to centre. It's pretty unique. Can't wait to see that grain jump out under a finish on somebody's bass.

I love this! I think chambered bodies are the added sweetness of Sadowsky basses.

Hey Blair;
thx for the bridge photos. Coolness!

 

[EagleMoon]

Awesome pics. You're lucky to be able to go to the shop. I would love to do that one day.

Look at that shirt!

Just received these new pictures from Kevin of my bass just a couple days after getting pictures of the unassembled body. It came together much quicker than I expected. I know that the look's not for everyone, but they nailed what I was going for.

My only question is whether I should get a tortoise guard made in addition while they still have the bass.
