+1, killer grain on that ash.
By the way, Roger, is that sweater you're wearing a prototype you're testing? can't see it on the online store.

There should be a law against doing that to a Sadowsky IMO.There's nothing uglier, but YMMV of course.
Funny, Lee Sklar (your avatar) uses a Yamaha like that.
Just sayin'......
Kevin told me it was doubtful Roger would give a double p project a green light, since he's never seen such a bass during his 6 years at Sadowsky guitars... There we have it then...

I don' t know that you would really end ip with something that unique when it was all said and done. Much of the mojo of the P pickup is how the off-set coils in the neck position lay on the "sweet spots" of the associated strings. So, you end up with a more rounded low end and a bit tighter high end.
While it would generally do the same thing in the bridge position, it would be to a much lesser degree. It might even compromise some of the biting attack you get off the bridge pickup, especially on the E and A.. You certainly couldn't cop the j-bass bridge PU grunt tone well. My PJ is pretty good at it.
As good as the bass response is with the Sadowsky HCs, I don't see the benefit other than to have something unique.

With the bridge in the "normal" P layout and the neck reversed, I would wager that bass sounds remarkably like a conventional modern.

Well, I've decided the Sadowsky website is evil. I thought I had decided on a NYC Will Lee, alder, match headstock and frost gold. I went to the site to look at fingerboards as I debated the different rosewoods for the fingerboard.
2 hours later I was undecided between Frost Gold, Shoreline Gold, Sonic Blue, CA Red, CA orange and Olympic White. Furthermore, maybe a mop blocked rw neck. Also, Will Lee or Vintage with WL neck profile. Good Lord!!!!!!

Yes, the site is evil.
I see this is back on the In Stock page.

I was relieved to see it go to "Sale Pending" so I could get the Metro Will Lee in CAR and not be lusting over this one. But now it's back. Agghhh!
