Even though Vic has one more Sadowsky than I do, I like to think that my three cover more ground. 
YESSS!!!!
This is my favorite part... when everybody else joins in and we get a "current family" post from everyone, which also means a high percentage of Sadowsky picture posts, too. Always a good thing.

'tis true. I just couldn't totally fall in love with the 24-Fret 5, as amazing as it was. Ah well, I guess a man's got to know his limitations, and I do mine.Even though Vic has one more Sadowsky than I do, I like to think that my three cover more ground.

Actually, no. You're confusing me with Ken.Yes, and I do realize that you are pushing your limits with that one split-P pickup in there...
Seriously tho, I've always dug the PJ thing, and even solo the P pickup in that bass a lot when I'm playing it... especially in the blues band... you're right, I am basically a "J guy", but there are definitely times I appreciate and even crave the P tone.

I have seen all these basses before but I am stunned by them every time. I love Vic's collection because they are Ash/Maple but wow Chef. That is the most beautiful RV5 I have ever seen.
Here is my one and only until my NYC Build is complete.
Ash/Morado UV-70 with SC's.

Let's hear it for VINTAGE and FRETLESS Sadowsky's! (something you don't see too often!)

In. While I only have two, the pair cover a lot of ground:
Astute observers might notice a similarity between the floor in the above picture and the floor in the background of Hounddog's UV70.

That bass on the right is absolutely stunning. If it wasn't missing a string
I'd be unable to control myself!!
Well, I'm back in the land of, "Yep, I own two Sadowskys." Excuse the crummy cell phone cam pic...I'll make up for it later, because this finish is just way too cool.
My local store got this one in earlier in the week. I saw it last night, and I confess to not really digging the VTN finish at first. Then I plugged it in and played a note. All of a sudden it looked much better. 
Took about 10 seconds to realize that THIS is the sound I've been after from a Sadowsky Jazz bass. I love everything about it...warm, fat, perfect amount of grind, and of course the Sadowsky sizzle up high and fat 'hit me now' bottom end.

The bad thing about getting a Sadowsky is it makes you start figuring out how to get another Sadowsky!!
I sold all my other basses just as I planned and got the cash I wanted for them (a little better actually). I could pay for the one I just bought and floated on my CC, or I could buy an M24. Hum?
