Club Sadowsky!!!

I'm back from NYC :crying: with some unforgettable 'Sadowsky moments':

First, on Friday night I had the pleasure of meeting Mark Polott (Polo515 here on TB). His band, Urban Blue, played at BBKing's in Times Square; These guys are Tight. Don't miss them if you are on the NY area. Mark is a super nice guy, a fantastic bassist and a great singer. Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to "Mr. Natural":

Last, but not least, on Monday morning we walked all the way from Times Square to Brooklyn where I had the pleasure of meeting Roger and Kevin; I can't tell you which one was nicer...they made us feel right at home.

I had a chance to try several basses (that beautiful P5 wasn't around, probably ready to be shipped): Among them, the new Will Lee model with the mid boost, slimmer body and thinner neck (too thin for me, but probably great for players with smaller hands). And that CAR NYC UV that I've been staring at since it showed up on the In Stock page. Unfortunately for me (but my credit card felt relieved), the black/maple NYC UV had sold a week before.

I have to say that I missed Rob (I didn't see him around and I didn't want to distract him from his work), but it's better this way, the legend of his 'clean as a baby's butt' work bench remains intact. :D Sorry Rob, I'll catch you next time.

...and the mandatory photos:

That showroom is nuts.
Who took the photos of you?
How much did you pay for the shell pink P bass we all know you took home?

..

My sister-in-law took the photos. Rob had offered to take her for a walk but he chickened out and didn't showed up :spit:. he lost his chance :D:D:D. On the other side, it was good for me because if it weren't because my sister doesn't share my appreciation for basses I would have had to be kicked out of that show room. :bawl:

who told you about the shell pink P :eyebrow:?, I told Roger that it was going to be our little secret.:mad:.
Seriously now, everybody knows I'm a natural ash junky...although that CAR UV...that one was something else.
 
Fran,

Sorry I missed you {and I'm really Sorry I missed your Sister-in Law...Give her my Number..:D}.
I must have been out to lunch when you showed. Next time!

Oh..And don't worry..My bench is Neater then ever..If that's possible!

Glad you had a good time in NYC.

Rob

I'm really sorry too, I only saw Jeff and Alex around (apart from Kevin & Roger) so maybe the rest of you where having lunch. I could have spent a day playing your basses, but it was a very short trip and not fair for my sister to spend too much time yawning at me playing every Sadowsky bass at the shop.

Man!!! That fretboard is gorgeous!!!:hyper::hyper::hyper::hyper:
+1!

kobass,
The grain in that board HAS to cause dead spots and such from all that directional inconsistency, so you better dump that bass fast. I'll get you my address... yeah, I'm that cool... I'll help you out... no, no, no thanks are necessary, just get it to me quick before it gets any worse (meaning my GAS of course...) ;) :D :D :D :D
