Club Sadowsky!!!

As for experience:

Pats been great from day 1! Great communication over email or a phone call away. He answered all questions I had and gave me suggestions based on his experience and knowledge. Very professional and friendly! Worth every penny imho.
I wouldn't hesitate to send more basses for a refinish when I would need it.
Only thing I can say is a drawback is he cannot spray nitro due to California laws. If you're looking for nitro lacquer finish you would have to look elsewhere. Besides that pat can do just about anything pertaining to finishes!

Good stuff; many thanks. I filled out the email form quickly and will likely follow up with a call tomorrow to discuss further.

It's amazing how fast he personally responds to all my emails. I know he's a busy man because he does all the finishes for a lot of bass makers!!

Just had a chat with the man himself and super cool and very easy to work with. Looking forward to it.

Now I just need to decide whether to repaint Candy Apple Green or Black Cherry Metallic....(both with white pearloid pick guard) What say ye, esteemed Sadowsky Club members? Hmm? :eyebrow:

For your Sadowsky or lakland? Candy green is pretty unique

Sadowsky! Lakland stays whiter than white; had planned on that for a long time. I just bought a used NYC Sadowsky and will get that refinished and then sell my Metro to finance it. My metro is BCM, which I really like, but I've always liked the CAG ever since my guitarist in college had the old Fender Clapton Custom strap in green. Thought it would be nice, and a bit unique.

Hi everyone,
I just signed up here, partly because of this thread. I just purchased my first Sadowsky, an MV5, after years of Fender, Warwick, Musicman and countless others!
I did hours of research and kept coming back to Sadowsky. I went to the only chain in England that carry them, which was 3 hours away, and compared them with Fender Elites, Mayones and Lakland.
The sadowsky was the most expensive by some way, but it was the only bass that was pretty much perfect. The balance, neck pocket, frets and build is flawless. Not to mention the neck that is the most comfortable I've played and that sound... so clear, and a nice even low B.

England is now out of new MV5s as I bagged the last one. It weighs in a 9lbs 2. Not a featherweight, but over 1lb lighter than my Sandberg was. The next month is a mad one, with 10 gigs scheduled, so I'm really looking forward to getting to know the Sadowsky better.
