Club Sadowsky!!!

Also interesting is that it has a rounded fingerboard at the body instead of the usual flat ended fingerboard. I love the rounded look much better. Looks more vintage. Very cool indeed!

Here are some nice ones at thelowend.net

OH GOD! Why didn't I see this about 2 weeks ago? That is stunning!

Peace,

HI

20 fret boards are traditional looking and shaped. 21, 22, and 24 fret boards are squared at the body

Thanks! That makes perfect sense. I must have seen more 21, 22 and 24 fret fingerboards.

That is pretty awesome!

HI

For sure. Most Sadowsky's are 21 fret. The UV's are 20 and some special order NYC's. Modern 4's and 5's are 24. The new Will Lee is the only bass offered in 22 fret

I wonder how this one sounds and plays.

It was owned by Will Lee it says on the site. I'm sure it sounds great. Rob's green one has big singles and they are the bees knees

Not "owned" but "borrowed" for a week...a different flavor of mojo.

Probably incredible, like most sadowskys

dammit, going through this thread makes the wait even harder... let me know how long it takes before the bass gets to you man, then i'll have an idea how long it'll take when mine is ready... (you know, with all the shipping and customs stuff)... oh yeah, and post a pic .

If 1988 is your year of birth, you must have worked hard to be getting a Sadowsky at 19! Having said that, I bought my Celinder when I was 21.

What spec have you ordered?

I've got a T-Black flamed maple, Modern 5/24 with Nordstrand Big Singles and a maple board.

 

[Musicfreak1988]

Yep, 1988 is my year of birth... Last summer, I indeed worked my ass off during my summer job and I earned some money with some gigs (I have to add that getting paid to make music doesn't feel like 'working' to me, although it can be exhausting and tiring from time to time), but I realiz/se that for my age, I'm a lucky bastard.
I got a little help though: I ordered my Sad somewhere around the end of July '08, when 1 euro was worth 1,6 USD.

Anyhow, I ordered:

- standard 4-string (lefthanded)
- ash body with a spalted maple top and a '59 burst finish
- maple neck with brazilian rosewood fingerboard and 'only' 20 frets and a 9" radius
- black hardware
- hipshot d-tuner
- schaller straplocks (instead of the standard dunlop ones)
- sadowsky single coils
- V/V/VTC/EQ-wiring (instead of the standard V/B/VTC/EQ)

I think that's about it... Totally different beast from yours, I must say .

I love those words . I'm going to be at the Shop next monday, I might see your bass before it is shipped.

You MUST post pictures once you get it in your hands!

That is funny! 1988 is when my "SWR" Sadowsky was born!

 

[Musicfreak1988]

Hah, then I guess we'd both agree 1988 was a good year .
