I agree. Absolutely beautiful. However, I do find it very difficult to play with fretlines. I learned bass on an unlined fretless and also play upright. When I see the fretlines, my mind tells me that I'm playing a fretted bass and I tend to play behind the lines.
Hi,
Here is my '96 baby, original owner.
I seem to be the only one equiped with Bartolini. I'll probably switch for Sadowsky ones in the future.
I'm not into the club membership but i'm quite proud of my Sadowsky (remind me of my student time when I had to work extra an save to get it), but I'd be happy to get my number.
After being Fender P guy forever, I added a Sadowsky P after being so blown away by my recent 5 string purchase...should have some action shots later, the function photographer last night promised to email some pics...everything a P bass should be minus a couple pounds, plus the incredible VTC....
Im in..AND..its new bass day..(new to me)...I'll post better pictures at another time....these are just quickies I just took..

Very nice piece. you are #277.
What finish is that? it looks like caramel but with no burst or maybe natural that has aged to a beautiful amber.
Thanks Fran.
This a caramel no burst color.
Nope. I know of at least one other. Eric Tinsley (I think his TB handle is etinsley or something) has a silver sparkle 5 string JJ with barts. I'm pretty sure it's one of a kind. He ordered it custom with a metal flake finish, not just metallic. Looks amazing on stage.Hi,
