I didn't want to post this in your thread cuz it might sound like pooping on it, which is definitely not my intent... just a bit confused... because it looks like you might not have the right P5 setup in there... I don't see any pole pieces under the low B. I even went to the Ulyate site and looked at a Squier P5 video and pretty sure I see all 5 sets of pole pieces there.

They're Ulyates. I have black tape over B string pole because of how I rest my thumb on B string. I sometimes tap the coil. It helps with not catching the tap noise.

AH HAH!! honestly, i do the same thing sometimes, but i don't do the tape, i just try not to push down as hard, but it is a self-annoying thing (lol). i should learn the floating thumb technique so that wouldn't happen, but i'm stuck in my old ways.

thanks (and GLWTS!)

I'll let Roger confirm here, but I thought he once said it was around 2004 or so, S/N low 4000's.

After reading about 2 pages about the pan knob I have an easy solution. Stop playing your other brand basses and only play your awesome Sadowsky and you'll simply get used to it! I think it took me 2 days to get it after my first Sadowsky.

Pic for distraction, let's see some awesome Sadowsky basses!

Yesterday, the big FedEx truck arrived and left a giant box on the porch! Not another bass, but now I have a spectacular Sadowsky archtop in the collection! Yippee! Such a voiceful instrument!

#7222. They were gradually introduced over the previous year, but by this serial number, they all had it.
