I am so pumped! My new (used) USA Hollowbody Deluxe came in today. I love it! The neck is just amazing. The neck is even better than my JO4 neck, and that one is fantastic. I am usually not a big Bart fan, but the Bart's on this bass are great. It has JO Flats on it and I love flats - have them on most of my basses. I may try rounds to experiment, but right now, this guy has a WIDE palate of tones available. I can't put it down. Action is perfect, frets perfect, and zero dead spots (thank you graphite neck reinforcements)!
Plays like a dream, well balanced, and light (weighs 8.25 lbs!).
Top notch fit and finish. Nice flame maple top, and the finish looks like a '59 sunburst that you see on a lot of Sadowsky's.


The East Indian rosewood with birdeye maple dots is really beautiful. Tried to show that in the pics, but they really don't do justice here.


I LOVE IT!!

yes and no: I won't buy another Skyline sight-unseen, but they look so damned pretty that I'll admit to being tempted -- and penniless. Once people have them in-hand and are well pleased with them, I'll likely still be penniless but a lot more tempted. If I can ever get to a GTG, I'd be interested in messing around on one.

Then one will come up for sale on the classifieds and I'll end up sleeping on the couch for a month.

You're always so helpful, Doug!

Though that new flamed maple J bass is what's really got me thinking. I think I may be changing my Sadowsky order so's I can justify another active J, which would definitely be one of those new Lakkies. I think I'd kind of want to in Marcus Orange.

So I tried the 55 JJ Chi passive with the Sadowsky pre/DI through my Ampeg.
Shortly, it does add some to the bass. I think I would prefer this bass active. But, I wouldn't pay that kind of money for that pedal. I must be uber-spoiled by Lakland, he he.

Also, the sound is still not what I need, so... Wanna change your 5-string US ash body for my alder US 55 JJ CS, anyone?
