Club Sadowsky!!!

I would say no after reading this in the description: "It's chemically treated with lemon oil to condition and enhance the beauty of fretboard woods."

Great for rosewood boards, but I personally wouldn't suggest using lemon oil for cleaning a finished neck or maple fingerboard.

I never knew there was lemon oil in the Gorgomyte. But it must be a very small amount. The primary oil is something different that I can't identify. But I would never use any oily product on a finished maple board.

I've been in talks for a While for a new Sadowsky and close to scoring this beauty. Waiting for it to arrive in the US.

Looks like this is a bad bass, judging from it’s ankle bracelet. Lol

Some nice tops on the Master Grade site. Here’s a few of my favs! https://www.sadowsky.com/master-grade-wood-gallery/

I just updated and reformatted these galleries. Lots of nice new tops. Also, I never gave Ziracote much thought, but those tops are pretty nice too:

That master quilt is something else, could go for a swim in that one.

Just a random thought, I've noticed most, if not all, master tops are in J bass shapes. I've never put one of my P basses next to one of my J's to see the size difference but what if someone wanted an ultra vintage P body with one of those tops? Granted I personally wouldn't want to cover up something so beautiful with a pickguard so I'd want either translucent or a pickguard delete if that was possible.

problem with a clear PG in a P-bass is that big-old traditional route. I've seen some interesting alternatives over the years.

True, but lets say it's a Verdine White style with no pickguard on a P body so it would have rear routing. Like I said if that was an option and I'm not sure it is. This is all hypothetical, that's not something that I'd really want, I'm a P bass guy but love the downsized J body and my satin Verdine White is perfect for me.

WHOA! I didn't want that before and you just ruined it! I'm impressed with the weight of it too now that I had to go look that up. A super PJ would be amazing like this! Just when I didn't want anything else...

What color works with 43? Carmel or 59 Burst? Or just straight up natural or vintage tint?

33 needs a custom transparent color light a Purple/Turquoise Burst!

Honestly my vote would be for the '59 Burst!!!!

Is this the bass that was on the Sadowsky/Warwick Announcement page, that is one seriously beautiful bass.

I've noticed that too but always thought the photos were just a template over top of the wood blank.

The outline of the J body is just an overlay. All of our MG tops will fit a J, P or Guitar. There may be an occasional one that won't work for a Single Cut.

Speaking of Single Cut...I just finalized with Ellis/paid the deposit for one!

5-24 SC
Chambered Ash
Ebony (unlined fretless)
Roasted Maple (unfigured neck)
No pickguard
Soaps (modern location)
Black hardware
19mm
1-7/8” nut
Matching headstock
Solid Gloss (Faded Surf Green)

sample custom color...

 

[kobass]

^^^^

Surf green (faded or not) goes great with roasted maple!

Nice avatar. No one will ever know.

33 is getting a 59 burst. I was about to order and you pushed me over the edge.

That's going to be so sweet, can't wait to see that one.

BINGO....my son keeps referring to me as the GOAT! I was waiting to see how long it would take for someone to get it!
