Last week at our local gig. Yes that's my part of the "stage," right by the kitchen doors. During the first set I have to dodge the waitresses and try not to get pizza/pasta on my bass! Living the dream! The Sadowsky PJ sounds absolutely superb through the REDDI - no amp, just direct to the PA.

This is the one that has me shaking now.....
Agreed. I love brown, but I feel figured tops are passé .. if they were ever even desireable other than on chat forums. No offense, as my fave bass is a highly figured 6'er. Never did love wearing that thing though. Seemed like a good idea at the time since there wasn't an upcharge for the top. Gotta get it a refin someday. Maybe satin so with eventual play wear a figured top is revealed underneath. Could look cool.
A good rule of thumb is if you wouldn't wear a shirt like that, or drive a car with that paint scheme, it doesn't work as an instrument either. I think I can count the world-class musicians, or even local jazzers, I've seen with figured tops on one... finger. There's something to that.
The orange satin is totally my speed though. I checked the site a few days ago thinking to maybe buy it and it had disappeared.
It's okay, I think the worst dressed musicians I've seen have been "world-class" players - especially "jazzers".
Good aural taste does not equal good visual taste. 
My 2 will Lee metros!! Blue one at 8.1lbs and vt at 8.5lbs!!
Took the strings off to clean and put on some new sunbeams on! Thought I'll weigh it without strings to see how much of a difference it'll make!
Not too shabby for a 5 string metro!

An NYC Sadowsky for less than the price of most used NYC's, and we can now pick a color? I'm in.
For me the standard 5 string width is perfect, plus I'm not much for fancy wood tops anyway. Now guys are going to have to start asking themselves if a slightly slimmer neck width is worth $1500.
Could I have a number too please? Technically I think I should be #500 
Hey guys.. Before I post any pics I wondering if anyone was interested in a 2 for 1 trade.. I'm looking for an older SADOWSKY NYC pj5 .. Offering a NYC 24 fret monster and a metro pj5.. Pm me if interested and we can talk.. Thx guys

I'm sorry but you are #499. Another fellow member asked for #500 a few weeks ago and I obliged. I hope you don't mind. Welcome to the club, that's a sweet bass.
Ah damn - I shoulda asked then!
Still glad to be a part of the club though. Yeah, the bass is a monster. Used to belong to the bassist from Florence and the Machine, and can be seen and heard on YouTube at their Glastonbury gig in 2010. It's travelled the world!
My wallet did not want to hear this!
I need a nice J5 in my collection and a Satin would work wonderfully.My favorite basses are alder, and I prefer them with maple board, but my alder/Brazilian NYC P5 sounds great so I think I'd enjoy an alder/Indian J5.
Color: I'm intrigued about the black cherry metallic but haven't seen one in satin, and I'm not sure about it anyway... seems like it might have a root beer vibe. No matter: I'd probably go with orange, or non-vintage shoreline gold.
