    Hi!

    Hello everyone. I've had my new Sadowsky standard 5 a week now. WOW! This is my 5th 5 from Roger and all have been great but this one really shines. The "thump" is outstanding, lows are great, and the maple board really sparkles if I need it to. The finish is out of this world. Fit and finish, forget about it!! Weighs in at 8.25lbs. My back is grateful. The quilt top is awesome. I couldn't be happier. BTW, the B string kills on this one!! No flop, strong, and articulate. Roger made me a 1/2 clear pickguard for it, too. I installed it tonight and thought I'd post some pics. I've always been a huge fan of the clear guard. Saves your finish, too.

    Well, that's all for now. Keep it low and flowing!!:D

    Rob

    I think i just had a GAS flare up. :D That's a great looking bass. It made me think about how nice an ultra high quality Jazz 5 would compliment the Ray5, hmmm....oh well, there's several peices of gear that i need more than another 5 string EBG. That's all and most excellent bass.

    Sadowsky is another one that's high on my list of basses I'd like to try but have never had the chance.

    Dear Rob,
    You stink. None of us upstate ridgerunners should own that many world-class instruments. It's unnatural, I tell ya!
    Seriously though, I hope she plays and sounds even better than she looks and serves you faithfully for decades.

    ...very nice....Sadowsky has some great colors/finishes. He also makes one wonder if 35" is absolutely neccessary for a 5...he makes it work!
    congrats...
