Hey man.......what's the serial # of that bass?????
PM me with it.
I had one EXACTLY like it that I bought new in 99.
Sold it like a moron, been dying to get it back.
I'll hit you with a PM also.
Well almost 8 months to the day.....I just got that long awaited email from Kevin. My NYC fretless is ready!! 
Now after waiting so long, do you think I really want it shipped to me 2 day service? Hell No!! Overnight that sucker to me.
So it will be in my hands on Friday....stay tuned!

woah, that flame looks like it'd be awesome.
but i think we should have a rule, "pictures must be at least *thiiiiis* big to drool over..." haha

Totally agree. I'll take some photos this weekend. That one was actually from the forsale ad.

- I play it all. Whatever works for the gig. Q+
Stunning bass.. the peterson looks nice too.
Got one just like it with black hardware! Cool Bass, Enjoy!!!
Slight OT... and hello Kirk.
I've been using a Peterson Strobostomp of a number of years now... very nice. However, I haven't been as excited about a new product as this in a long time. Just as accurate as the Peterson virtual strobes, a fraction of the cost and size, and a true bypass (I STILL hear a bit of treble drop-off using the Peterson in-line... the Turbo is literally transparent in the signal chain). And... here it comes... the first tuner I've experienced that grabs an open B string literally immediately
Just FYI for my Sadowsky buds... simply the best tuner, but a WIDE margin, from any others I've experienced. And the price is very good. They have an 'in-line' unit (the metal stompbox) that is just amazing. They also have a plastic tilt back unit for those who use a tuner out on their head. I don't like it as much, but it is also very good, and just as accurate.

Edit: To justify this OT post... did I mention that my trans orange MV5 is one of the nicest instruments I've ever played?!?!!!!

This is the unit that finally makes the need for a mute button on an amp obsolete IMO and IME... pure, true bypass and no battery drain when the mute/tuner is disengaged (along with uber accurate true strobe tuning). Whoohooo
Kevin just sent me a photo of my new fretless! I actually spoke to Roger today and said this bass was very special! They are shipping it out today...so stay tuned for some more photos and comments!
Also I have to say, Roger, Kevin and the whole crew were such a pleasure to deal with. You can't ask for a nicer bunch of folks!

ClassicJazz, you must be thrilled! I remember when you first posted about the order for the Sadowsky. I'm sure the wait won't be more than a few days, but I'm sure it's going to be the hardest part.

Whoa!
That looks like another killer piece!
Man, even if your intonation is off, you'll still look bad@ss!
Congrats!
