Attached is an iphone pic - and the bass on the Sadowsky Website as it was Lanice Morrisons prior.

Will take some other pics later and post - it has some road wear (broken in) and with a recent set up and some LaBella Flats this bass has been surprisingly sweet in the vintage sound.

Wow... just... wow... that's AWESOME looking!! :eek:

This is the "maple twin" to my ebony board'd one... right down to the weight and everything. Man I'd love to A/B them to see how they compare.

FYI for any folks lookin' for the deets on this beauty... :)

Just to circle back -- I played the bass for a couple of hours last night and it absolutely kills. As with every 5-24 I've played, the finger style sound is absolutley perfect. It's very tight and punchy and, when combined with the VTC and pick-up blend, can do just about anything.

I have said it before but it's worth repeating: The B on Roger's 5-24 is as good or better than any B string I've played. That pickup combo really brings the speaking voice of the B string to life.

What really surprised me though was how good the slap sound is. Wow - really inspiring. The Maple board and Ash body combo really works on this bass. It's a fun one!

It seems like I'm on a Sadowsky diet these days. I had just sold my PJ fretless to Nenor when I found this for sale:

I thought that it would be a perfect match for my main bass (Sadowsky vintage 4, solid ash, full size body, SC pickups). I could keep one with flats and the other one with rounds. And that would be my cure for GAS (as if there were a cure for it :D).

Then, I'm wasting my time on ebay (I know I should be practicing, but it was very late and I had arrived from a gig) when I find this:
"Sadowsky NYC UltraVintage PJ4, solid ash, one piece body, vintage tint, 8.4 lbs. maple neck"...in one word: my perfect PJ bass. Something that I had never thought it would be possible because I always thought that solid ash P bodies would be too heavy to fit into Roger's specs.

the good news...I won!!! and she's all mine!!! I can say that I'm GAS free now.

the bad news: I'll probably sell my new (to me) NYC UV J4, 'cause I don't really need 3 basses.
