#482 for M Sterling. Welcome to the club.

After reading through this entire thread and thinking about buying a sadowsky for a couple of years, I was finally able to snag Timothy's Black super sparkle NYC 24/5 JJ. This is the only club I've had an interest in joining, so here goes!

I LOVE this bass. Previously, I had an American deluxe fender J with the Sadowsky preamp and it killed. I've also been using the pedal pre for a couple of years.

When I saw this one pop up in the tb classifieds, I jumped on it. It arrived in like 3 days. I picked it up from the PO on my way out of town for a casino gig. I got to mess with it in the hotel room for about 15 minutes unplugged. The first time I plugged it in was for soundcheck. We didn't have our normal engineer, and it was a nightmare sound situation with an obviously very green engineer. I should have been stressed, but the sadowsky just killed. Set it, forget it and lay it down. I'm a few dozen gigs in and I'm pretty sure it's the best bass guitar ever built. I'm gonna grab a uv70 at some point just because I'm a sucker for blocks and binding and I love 70's J basses!

I do notice that there is a significant difference in sound between the onboard preamp and the pedal pre with the onboard bypassed. I'm sure there are many reasons for this, but I was just curious if anyone had any ideas. The onboard sounds brighter, even when set flat. And there is a different texture to the high end. The great thing is that they both sound awesome, just different.

Anyway, thanks for reading and I'll gladly take a number!

Thanks @Fran Diaz!

 

[Joeykun]

Here's a live shot from Saturday nights gig. I've had this bass for 3 years now and it continues to kill at every show!

 

[BluesyCat]

Love it! Great pic!

 

[AMp'D.2play]

Nice bass face !

 

[bass12]

Great shot, Joey! And the bass matches the lights

Spent some time at Bass Club Chicago today. Looking for a four string active bass to complement my passive four string Precision and Jazz basses and fell in love with the Metro Modern 4 (M4). How is the resale/availability of these basses? Can't seem to find many on the recent classifieds and I'm not really down with five string basses.

 

[kobass]

IME, Sadowsky basses (NYC and Metro) are one of the few brands that hold their value. ymmv

I only have one and I almost stupidly traded it...
I came to my senses.

Thanks! Glad I could help!
I tried to get Roger to make the electronics and strings out of quilted maple but he drew the line.
All joking aside, not just cause I own it, but it's quite exquisite not just in sound but looks!

 

[roogbass]

I filmed a short piece of a Jam (Red Baron) with my new Sadowsky.
This is the eight' one i bought, i will keep this one!
Everytime i had regrets when i sold one.

Awesome man, sound like it's a good thing you didn't get the trade you were looking for. I was pretty bummed that you wouldn't outright sell it but that's probably for the better...I'm sure I'll find something GAS-worthy in Nashville next weekend!

That's an amazing looking Sadowsky. I love the way the neck matches the top. Good you didn't sell it.

You are #483. Welcome aboard.
