I came pretty close to grabbing that as well. I've had this crazy idea about getting a 4-string as for one of my gigs and even though a PJ would be the "right choice" for me, that bass seriously called out to me. Congrats on the buy...

Mr. articreef, congrats on your Sadowsky! You will not be disappointed, just be aware they are habit forming. I have been in re-hab know for the better part of a year. Not really!
I would please also like to request a club number as well.

Man, It kills me to do this, but I am going to put this one
up for sale this weekend, I just wanted to give our club members
a heads up before hand.
The bass is only 4 months old and has only left the house one time for
a demo get together. It is in brand new condition with no issues at all.
I was playing for a wedding agency out of NYC, and was paid by checks
but I never received a 1099 at the end of the year, so now 4 years later
uncle Sam is looking for his cut.... the moral of the story is, any of you that get paid by check be sure to get a 1099 with your SS# on it so that you can write off as much as possible so that you don't have to pay income tax.... I now owe 5300 bucks including penaltiesthe kicker is I have to pay first before I can file an appeal.

I will post more pictures on occasion...
M2079, no VTC, bought new from Thomann... I guess sort of a closet classic... spent some time in a warehouse apparently...
Looking forward to rehearsals on Thursday...

NICE!
Maybe not as high of a priority with alder/rw vs ash/maple, but I would still strongly recommend you get a VTC installed. The good news is, he sells the mod separately for a good price, and ANY guitar tech can install it, so it should not be a lot of money to add. With a boost only preamp like Sadowsky basses have, I can't imagine not having the VTC installed. While I don't use mine all the time, and when I do, it's by varying amounts, I do use it very regularly and can't imagine not having it.
Ditto. As a recent Sadowsky convert I have no experience of the time before VTCs were standard, however I'd imagine there was a lot of EQing of amps. I guess if you're slapping 24/7 you want bright bright bright, but I find that even my RV5 needs to be tamed a bit before playing in a band context.
Is there any other bass manufacturer who puts a standard tone control on an active bass? It's really useful and I don't see why it's not standard across the industry.
