From yesterdays gig at Viva, Lund Sweden. You can spot my Sadowsky Satin in the back

He had to remove the pick guard. I don’t think that world could have handled Jaco with the power of tort.
Well, there is that...
I was wondering if an NYC PJ5 could be converted to a P5/Soap Bar for a thicker bridge tone? Would a route for the soap bar be wide enough to cover the ears on the J pickup?

Both pickups are roughly 3cm wide. So, very close. Certainly a Super J would!
I have nothing to do with this sale, but in the current swamp ash crisis, this is one amazing piece!

The quality of Sadowsky Tokyo was amazing. Absolutely first rate instruments! #RIPSADOWSKYTOKYO

Nice! Hopefully Roger will still be able to get some good pieces of swamp ash in the future.
Talking about swamp ash. It's been a long time since I posted a photo of my one and only, one piece flamed ash body (and 8.3 lbs to boot):

Oh! And that's an old pic. My maple fingerboard screams rnr now.

Fantastic looking body on that one!
I've actually thrown around the idea of getting mine refinished. The bass absolutely slays sonically, and it plays as well as any bass I have owned, but the body doesn't have the prettiest grain. I might send the body to Marty Bell to get it finished. I was considering either Tobacco Burst, or something a little less typical like Rootbeer metallic(basically candy apple brown).

Speaking of Ash, here's some pics of my 2019 NYC 5-24. The chambered body is 2.49lbs unfinished. @Roger and crew picked out beautiful book-matched pieces for the top, and a gorgeous figured piece for the back. Flamey, multi-dimensional, hard to capture in 2D photos. Exceptional work on this one (aren't they all?) and a joy to play as well. Stay safe everyone!

That one was a real beauty. The dots really worked.^^^^
Wow!!!
Roger has done a number of podcast appearances over last few years. The content is always inspired, inspiring, down-to-earth, and presented in a matter-of-fact manner. Fascinating insight into how and why the Sadowsky mark has been celebrated for so long. This is the latest podcast:

They are my favourite single coil PU.
They are more than just a plain "regular" J in a bigger shell:
