Club Sadowsky!!!

[gustobassman]

Beautiful bass! I put an order on for a lake placid blue one. By the way, the website says the fingerboard is Morado not Pau Ferró.

same species, different names. Libidibia ferrea

morado = pao ferro = bolivian rosewood = palo santo = caviuna

@Holdsg beat me to the punch!

Palo Santo has a nice ring to it. Spanish for "holy stick" per Wikipedia.

That translation is correct.

Ok I just purchased a Sadowsky my first one, and it’s one of the ones made in Tokyo and I noticed upon further inspection of the pictures that it has a Badass bridge...it’s from a reputable seller and an official store and I’m kinda worried...why would a Sadowsky have a Badass bridge ?

The slapmaster has a badass type bridge I think

It’s an RB4-59B not to sure what that means I’m new to the Sadowsky world, pardon my ignorance on these basses.

Got a link? I'm sure someone here could figure it out for you.

 

[kittywithabanjo]

I dunno when I search it does show a badass type bridge

It’s one of the ones made in Tokyo it’s not an American made model, unfortunately I have to save up for that. But I needed a versatile bass and have always liked Sadowskys just could never afford one.

I feel like I could cover any job thrown my way with these two basses.

I wouldn't worry that it's not a real Sadowsky, if that's your concern. Either they came with a Badass bridge back then or a previous owner switched it out.
I have Tokyo (Metros) & NYC models.
The Tokyo models are very high quality & almost indistinguishable from NYC's.

Wuao those are just wuao, do you know if pickguards can be purchased from Sadwosky? I’d like to get the pearloid pickguard.

Well I’ve scoured the Internet about this and apparently some of the Tokyo made ones were made with the Badass bridges. It just kinda freaked me out as it’s my first Sadwosky purchase.

Thanks I let go of a bass I held dearly to make this purchase lol.

Love the pearliod!

 

[HeavyJazz]

I agree with Bassmus. That's why I have one of each (NYC & Metro). Granted they are intentionally different (4-string w singles and a 5-string with HCs), but I dont have to stress as much about dinging the Metro.
