Hey guys. I got a decent clip from last nights gig that I thought I would share. I cannot express how amazing this Sadowsky is! Let me know your thoughts.

Made a few minor changes to my NYC. I changed the knobs from the vintage style to hte standard Sadowsky knobs that come on most of them. I also changed it from 2 volume to 1 volume and 1 balance pot. All set up with a set of Blue Labels and playing great.
You can see the vintage style knobs sitting on the body with the new ones installed in this pic. If anyone is looking for a set of vintage knobs, I have them for sale in the classifieds.

I looked at that picture without reading the text first, and thought 'what the....'I though Phil Lesh was playing a Sadowsky now or something
It occurred to me that I may give some fellow Sadowsky lovers a heart attack!!!!! Sorry if I made you spit your coffee all over the keyboard!!!
HI
Bass looks great, NOLA. Not a fan of the old style knobs, myself. Love the changes you made. One of my fave colors

LOL! Thought the same thing!
Whoa. I too was a bit perplexed when I first looked at that photo. Thanks for making sure we're all paying attention.
Haven't seen many Sads in that color (Shoreline Gold, right ?). Sweet.

Congrats Tom, sounds sweet!
Hi Andrew,
It has been some time since you posted your thoughts about ordering a simple, single color (Sonic/Sea Foam) instrument. I, also had been thinking along those same lines for a while (quite a deviation from that increbily beautiful QUILTED standard that you have, and BTW still my all time fave figured top & fingerboard.) That really helped encourage me to pull the trigger on this one. So a very respectful "tip 'o the hat to ya, sir". The bass originally came up on the Aug(?) "In Stock" update (teal green metallic P/J 5), but ended up with some mods that put it out to the present delivery date. Will post pic's, of course.
Glad to know you're still hangin' around, really enjoyed shots that you posted of you playing that bass.
+1!
Vic,
This is the bass we talked about in Aug.
Exactly! My first thought was, tackiest mod EVER!!!!!!!!!!I looked at that picture without reading the text first, and thought 'what the....'

You inspired me so I also did some mods on my Will Lee.
So I glued a old tuner so I don't play out of tune anymore. Bolt on an extra handle for ease of carrying. Added a volume, bass and treble that are wired directly to my amp. Epoxied a fan for my fingers because I play so damn fast.
LMAO !!!!!!!!!!!
I really needed a good laugh 'cause my xbox 360 died today and now I got nuthin' to play the new games on.

All right back in the club. Just picked this NYC up. My first NYC 5er. Had a really old NYC 4 at one time and a metro 5er, but this one really had me GASSy. It is a weight reduce alder, flamed maple board and hum canceling pickups. And it so needs a tort guard, anybody have a tort they want to trade for a white?
So any thoughts on the tonal characteristics of this one. I have had plenty of ash/maple combos, and alder rosewood combos, but this may be my first alder/maple combo. Also wondering if I should go with nickels or steels (I have a set of Black label Sado's or I have some Dunlop nickels). I usually run SS on alder/ rosewood combos for a little extra zing and usually nickels on maple boards for a little less zing.

. I was going to order an AC LG5 in this color. I love it, but the pickguard does not do it justice, IMO.
