Mine too, hope they are available soon (and at a reasonable price)
They won’t have the Sadowsky logo, but you could get them directly from the source (or Amazon):

That’s a really nice look, How do people make decisions when they’re going to order a new one? It would take me forever to make a final decision.
Love that color combo, especially the Tortoise guard. I almost ordered a Satin in IBM back in Dec but went with Vintage Shoreline Gold instead.
Meanwhile, I just picked up this G&L last week. To tide me over while I wait for my new Satin. Just happens to be the same color combo. Ha.
I've made it easier on myself -- I've either chosen from what's available in the NYC shop or I've purchased used.
Way fewer options = much easier to choose!

For me, the only NYC's I could afford were the Satin series (and I got hooked, bad). Limited options made it easier to choose, lol.. but I did tried to be creative. I haven't seen another Olive Green Verdine 5 with matte black guard, although someone at Squier must have been following my posts.
My bass was made finished 11/18. These hit the shelves recently.. Mine looks lighter due to the lighting, its darker in person.

Man! That Olive Green just Kills!!!
Congratulations!!
I have to keep reminding myself that no matter what I choose*, at some point I will rethink the decision. I rarely have regrets: just saying that I succumb to "grass is greener" no matter how happy I am.
*The exception for me is "bassic black". But I would NOT want an all black bass collection, so my struggle is constant.
(We are talking color, right? Aside from that, I generally know what I want.)
I spent some time with someone’s ice blue metallic Sadowsky and thought it was one of the most beautiful things I’d seen. Very difficult to photograph.

really interested to try one someday, but i wish there was at least some rounding on the neck heel on the body.
Yes, only jazz shape. MetroLine also has P shape (Hybrid PJ).
Yes, this is quite true... ... but my goal is to see it without the opaque black pickguard and control plate covering up most of it.

That system was called Novatone and appeared in the early 80's. A complete disaster that destroyed every neck that was modified by them.
Buy whatever system you like and put them on!
I'm sorry, but I cannot agree with your statement, We do a tremendous amount of hand building
Thanks, Vic! I was avoiding getting into a reply to this post!
The difference is about $2000. Please do not expect an $899 Sadowsky bass to match a $3000 Sadowsky bass.
This is a great $899 foot in the door instrument. Many people cannot afford more.
