First take on the Super J pickup set:
Smooth, refined, well-balanced. It's amazing how being able to choose the front or rear coil of the bridge pup, or both, really gives three distinct tonal personalities to the bass. Three different flavors of excellent.

Beauty. Like the case. What's it covered in?

Bathroom scale method says it's 8.4 pounds.
(Added: Peter emailed me a couple days after this post. They have a more accurate weight: 7.91 pounds! Whoa--a sub 8 pound fiver...)

A cloth-backed plastic, stamped to look like alligator skin. Really classy; great detail in the stitching.
Whoa...P/SJ...now there's a concept!
Just waiting on my call/email from the shop! I have a P/SJ WL5 on order
Congrats on both the retirement and the new acquisition! Very nice! I know it's an accessory, but that case is pretty sweet, too! I love when a plan comes together...

My NYC J4 is so light I have to keep it down with ballast . . .
So this arrived yesterday. It's not brand new but in close-to-new shape. I just couldn't wait for a build..
Can't wait to try it out on a live show where I know it will shine.
Is that a NYC? Or a Metro HPJ?
Lovely looking bass, either way!
OK, the Cherry Bomb is back.After all that, I sent the bass to the shop yesterday for Lisa to take a look at the preamp. My blend pot replacement has the tone and everything where it should be; but, the instrument only has about 75% of the output capability that all my other Sadowsky preamp equipped basses have. Which was the way things were before the the blend pot went out.
Which is probably enough to work with; but, I tend to be distracted by things like that, which I know aren't really right. This was kind of a tough call, because the bass has been out more than it has been in. Still, the bones are great, and I'm just on a mission to get it where it should be.
I thought about just installing a new 4 knob preamp, because honestly the mid boost does absolutely nothing for me. But, again, that wouldn't really be right either.
Anyhow, I talked to Lisa and she kindly agreed to take a look at it. To paraphrase, the bass is in awesome hands with Sadowsky!

"Awesome hands with Sadowsky." Truer words were never posted here. Huge shout out to Lisa, who went through the entire preamp, rewiring it to NYC standards, and replaced two of the pots, all under warranty. Lisa rocks. Write it down.
We're never satisfied until everything is right! That's a great way to be!OK, the Cherry Bomb is back.

Nice Rig Rundown by Premier Guitar with Verdine White and his Signature Sadowsky bass...
