Club Sadowsky!!!

Here's my NYC Std4 in transparent white which is much less transparent than the usual. You need to look closely to see the wood grain under the finish. My guess is that because this bass is chambered ash on ash they used more color to hide the glue line around the body.

In the interest of discussion, do you think the fiver PUs have a completely different sound, or are you just commenting on how the B string responds.

I am curious. I don't know a great deal about PU science, but I have wondered how you get the two coils to cancel hum when one is a three magnet coil and one is two.

Its the overall sound, not just the B.
 
Nothing 'poor man' about Morado. That's a fabulous looking board, and I bet you get some nice snap from it!

I was joking of course, it's an incredible board. The sound is snappy yet warm enough for me not missing rosewood.

Do you have a picture of the bass without the pickguard?

That's how I received it. Since then I've added the pickguard with double sided tape and the pickups on it now are NJ4's. All mods are reverse-able. I also have the original knobs.
