Club Sadowsky!!!

Just got off the phone with Ellis, and I am pretty excited about a 40th Anniversary build! While I have lots of "fancy top" basses (and Sadowsky has some of the nicest tops in the biz), I have always loved their Candy Apple Orange finish, so I think that's my plan. I definitely want a matching headstock, and I am a big fan of black hardware. Don't see many (any?) Candy Apple Orange (or Red) Sadowsky's with black hardware. Do any of you have this configuration or know of any pics?

Also trying to decide between a tort or parchment guard (might get both), so pics of CAO finishes with different pickguards would also be something I'd like to see.

Take care, and stay safe, y'all!

Hey all, just a quick update on the shop: NY State just stated that all non-essential businesses need to close for now. While we can endlessly debate how essential our basses are :bassist: , we're going to need to comply with this order and the shop will be closed till further notice.

We're in the shop today and some of the weekend if you need to call us. We will still be answering emails, and if you would like to reserve an instrument on the stock page, please email me.

Stay well everyone!

Just stay safe... we'll be here, when you get back.

Best wishes to all of you in the shop, and to everyone else affected (or soon to be) by the new coronavirus.

Definitely stressful times. Thanks for making beautiful instruments that provide a port in the storm.
 
It’s one of the last few NYC Satin 5-21 Vintage models. And it has hum-canceling pickups.

It’s hard to tell they aren’t single coils though. It sounds very punchy, warm and has some bite:

[/QUOTENice one. Yeah the HC pickups are great right? I’ve had Singles in my UV70, but went back to the hum cancelling. They work well for me.

The Vintage 24fret 5 string is awesome! :bassist:

@deepestend and @Roger - As many others have already said, stay safe and take care of your families during this time. And thanks for (1) the great instruments (of course!), and (2) for being so interactive with everyone on this forum.
