HI

So which one is your fave out of the 5 and why?

Wow Rob! That's a tough question. I'm trying to figure out which one I like the least because I think I should sell one and that's tough enough.

My new V4 Ash/Birdseye Maple with singles is incredible. (Made by Rob) I didn't want another Will Lee because I don't really use the mid boost so I ask the shop to make the neck at 1.45, so they had to do it by hand and I think it feel better then my WL. Its out of this world.

My Will Lee is Ash/Braz with singles and its all together an other animal. Super fast neck but a more mellow tone. Very vintage. I love it.

My other V4 is Ash/Mad is also amazing but with a more modern tone. It as the Humcanceling. Its my Jazz gig bass.

My RV4 is something else. When I bought it I was a little scared because I already owned two NYC. I was worried it wouldn't play as well and it would be too heavy (9 lbs). But believe me, I was so wrong. This is my go to bass. Its such a player, its unbelievable. I don't care if I ding it a little. I'm still wondering why the x owner sold it to me. And I believe he regret it. I'm not saying it plays better then my NYC's, no, no,no I'm not. Ye..NO whatever.

My P bass is an entirely different experience. I've owned 4 Fender P in the pass and always end up selling after a couple months. But a Sadowsky P is something else. I have the J neck so its the same as my other J's. It cuts through the mix like a chainsaw. It is a much more aggressive bass. I love it.

How can I sell any of them? Its impossible

It seems like you have all the bases (basses!?) covered. I'm not sure that I would be thinking of selling any of them with that rundown.;)

Last night I played the NYC JJ5 I just picked up with my Aguilar tube rig and my NV412.

My wife said something that I've never heard her say......ever.

"Dang, that bass has balls!"

In all the years of her being around endless amounts of high end gear, I've never heard her say that or anything close to that about any piece of equipment. Ever.

I agree with her 100%. That bass SMOKES! My hunt for a JJ5 is over!!!!

Needless to say, I am proud that my wife is getting better at recognizing good stuff when she hears it!:D

My wife runs sound at church while I play bass in the band. Been running off my stage rig with no PA support and told me this morning that the bass was thumping her in the chest at the back of the room. Got lots of compliments on my tone - Sadowskys rock!

On another note, I've been thinking of my next Sadowsky purchase and was wondering if they could do a bass like the one below, except with a standard PJ5 configuration. Not sure if it would work with the pickguard or not, but I saw an off-brand four banger in similar format and really liked the look. I'd either go with 59 burst and a parchment\mint guard OR see if they could do a nice gold with parchment. I wonder if a cream guard or perhaps cream pickup covers would be possible?

Not sure if I would go with RW or maple - not sure how maple would sound with a PJ configuration...

I had the single pickup version of this bass and they are cool.. I've been wanting to order a bass just like the one pictured, but with 21 frets...

Sounds like an interesting idea! I'd like to see one like that, too
