My Sadowsky dilemma...

[Matt Call]

is that a translucent white or olympic white?

Olympic. I've been meaning to take some decent pics for a while now. I haven't taken any since I got the bass.

Here is a picture of it from Bass Exchange's website. I'll get some more soon. I've been meaning to post some clips and give an attempt at a review. I might wait until I get my Stingray next week, and kill two birds with one stone.

There are some pretty nice New In Stock basses at the Sadowsky site....

I have had the exact same dilemma, and have unfortunately chosen wrong everytime.
If you were to give me a pick of a fender bass, and let's say that is the only choice I had, it would be a precision hands down, every single time.
I've never really liked jazz basses at all, from the narrow neck to the (IMO) midscoop with both pups on full volume....yuck!!!! The growl and deep, 'low-mid' infused bottom of a pbass just gets me goin.

Now, that being said, I am addicted to the playability of Roger's instruments, and the tone of that preamp just works every friggin time, regardless of room acoustics, genre of music, waning and waxing of the moon, etc. Its just that every metro I've either played or owned (3total) just doen't inspire me long term. Its the fact that they've all been J-style basses, when what I really want is that classic pbass thump with the benefit of Roger's world-class preamp.

My perfect sadowsky, if you will indulge me....
P5 with Pbody style, brazilian rosewood board with pbass stringspacing, black body and pickguard (or oly white/tortgrd),and an added j pickup with VTC. If I could get any where close to that in a Metro series, I'd be one step closer to gear Nirvana.

That being said, look for my UV70RW5 in the classifieds next week.

My MS5 will be right there in the classifieds next to your UV70RW5

That is such a nice bass. What's the weight on that thing?
