If I wasn’t in the same boat I’d defenitly hand one over to you!I see on this site people with too many Sadowsky basses. I think I can make a great effort and I am willing to adopt one. Someone volunteer?

Resist... urge... to click... on... it.
The new site's quick-links scare my wallet.
Also, I've played a couple of basses in their showroom, but I'm curious on people's preferences here re: maple/ash and rosewood/alder. Leaning towards maple/ash for when I pull the trigger on a UV Jazz; to people who have both, is it possible to use the VTC to dim the brightness to rosewood/alder levels?

Lucky for us that he has the easiest-to-spell Polish name on the planet.
Wojciechowski Guitars would've been a bit much.

Well, one of the easier. Nowak is pretty simple...
After that name, the Polish naming committee got together and called for more C/Z/K/W's in weird places. One of my vendors is a Szczesiak (See-zee-ak) and we were buds for life when I got that one right the first time.
The difference to me, owning one of each(metro), and assuming that you mean morado not rosewood(since that would only be available on an NYC) is not so much the brightness as it is the character of the mids. I lean toward the ash/maple.
With that said I switch mine up depending on who has the freshest strings and I’m sure that no one but me notices the difference in them. They are very close.

I’m a -ski myself, but I have no affinity for the Polish surnames. One of the benefits of email is being able to doublecheck spellings.
To bring this back to Sadowsky related, there’s a few Metro Expresses on the site- the olympic white and CAR are both pretty tempting...
The other link doesn’t seem to be occupied. You could grab it and redirect clicks to your site.

Do you happen to have a wiring diagram for that?
I have two Sadowsky 4-string Satin J basses, one in alder/morado, and one in ash/maple. My experience is very similar. The mids are a little different, and it's subtle. I like the Alder/Morado a little better, but they are both good. Fresher strings or whichever color I'm feeling that day dictate which I pick that day.
For me, having a lightweight bass is critical due to back issues. So I wanted to have not only one Satin, but a backup also, just in case (have regular gigs lined up, etc.). Having two with the exact same ergonomics and just slightly different looks and really slightly different sounds has worked well for me. YMMV. I know some players like to have a wider variety of sounds/looks/ergonomics. But having a #1/#2 very similar works for me.
You may not be able to see it well (being in the back), but you sure can hear it!
Got the opportunity to use my Modern 5 with a Tower of Power ensemble the other night and here's a tune we did:

I think the last few weeks of waiting is harder than the 11 months before it! I feel like a to-be father waiting at the hospital for the baby to make his/her debut! hahahahaha 
Well, at least the Sadowsky doctors provided you with a high-resolution, color “sonogram”...from their “ultrasound exam”... They’re really good about that!I think the last few weeks of waiting is harder than the 11 months before it!
