Club Sadowsky!!!

You can order a satin verdine PJ5?

Yes you can... they have been in production for a while now, but our first one hit the showroom today.

Well, I've had my Satin 4-21 for about a week now, and I'm still blown away by what an amazing instrument it is. Both the tone and playability are beyond what I'd hoped for. I have to say, I especially love the neck shape - it's the closest I've ever played to my '77 Jazz - it's got a bit of meat to it. Crazy comfortable. Now I'm just annoyed my band is practicing for a couple weeks...

NBD!!!! My Satin NYC has arrived and is safely in my care. All I can say is wow! Was just able to play it at Club Bass and it was taking my Metro and putting it on steroids! That P pick up is something special. Thank you @Sadowsky. My new NYC is something special. My Pics to follow but here is the store shot. I went with the 59'burst. This is such a hot rod.

Good choice, although you couldn't have gone wrong with either!

Congrats, rock it hard! :bassist:
 
Got a clip from a festival show this past weekend. Thought it gave a good sense of the tone of my beloved NYC Will Lee 5. Sound guys did a great job on monitors and FOH.

It's the Mesa D-800+'s DI line feeding _pre_ to the board. Strings are Dunlop Super Brights SS rounds, starting to fade.

The bass is morado board, ash body. Those are the Sadowsky Super J pups; I had the bridge pup set for the '60s position. Just a touch of boost on both bass and treble knobs, with the VTC rolled off about a quarter.
