Ive been playing my Satin Modern 4 a lot for the past year and a half in New England, PA, NY, VA and WV. Both indoors and out and literally no signs of gloss anywhere on the bass.

I lived in South FL for a little over 2 years and yeah it’s brutal sometimes. But, I wouldn’t worry too much about the Satin finish. That bass is made to be played!!!

I was hoping you'd chime in since you play your satin modern out a lot. Definitely glad to hear that endorsement of it. I was deeply following another brand before discovering Sadowsky and there was always concerns of glossy areas on their satin finishes. Luckily it didn't scare me away as my 2 satins are amazing basses.

I’m a bit surprised by the level of intensity in the recent blend knob discussion.

1) Roger has posted his reasons for the shop orientation.

2) Roger has also posted the instructions for the extremely simple and straightforward procedure to switch it around.

So, why is this such a big deal? Maybe I missed something.

...no big deal for me, but I'm new (7 months) to Sadows was sometimes confused with the pan and the change was an ease for me.

"Issues"! I'd thought it was a feature...

no, it wasn't the originally desired/intended behavior, and people have been trying to come up with a more linear passive method for years... just ain't gonna' happen. the fact that you treat it as a feature is cool tho. :)

FWIW, I didn't think it was intense or a big deal, and it's already over. :)

NBD Report: Looks like a slow day for Club Sadowsky, so here is a photo journal of Sadowsky NBD and man cave tour. The FedEx guy left a delivery note on the door, but then saw me mowing the backyard and stopped and hand delivered the carton. Very nice of him or I would have had to wait another day.

The shipping folks at Sadowsky do a nice packaging job:

The black pearl satin finish is a winner. Big time:

Nice personalizations from the man himself:

OK, first run through in headphones and backing tracks. Balance is terrific. PJ5 tone is, well, Tully tasty. Maple 'board just snappy enough for these aging ears. The B string? Lots of fundamental and firm. And, oh, to play some fresh Blue Label steels again!

That's my moonwalker photo collection peeking through, here we have the moonwalkers of Apollo 16. I have all 12 moonwalkers signatures, only 4 are still alive:

The new Satin PJ5 takes its place alongside my (used) 2008 NYC Custom PJ4. The ash/RW PJ4 is a little sports car of a bass, don't be fooled by that fancy top:

Finally a family photo with some Fender/Lakland equipment in positions 3, 4, and 5. We also have signatures of the Apollo 14 crew. The wall is authentic Tennessee tobacco barn wood.

Its my man-cave, home theater, bass space, projectapollo collection, and morning coffee hang out:

Thanks to this Club, Roger, and Crew for making this Sadowsky bass thing so cool and musical.

You have quite a set up at home, and your Verdine White Signature is awesome!

I just got my satin two week ago , what are you using to clean your Modern. There was a polish /cleaner in the case or are you using something else.
