I d a chance to extensively compare my New Sadowsky NYC bass to My Devon Modern j5 they both are amazing build and playability. The difference in tone for me isn't even close as the Devon is just so clean, thick , and cutting in the mix. It's hard to beat a Devon no matter what you put up against it. I've had more compliments on the tone on this Devon than any bass I've played.

No question, Devon’s builds are exceptional. With all the beautiful basses you’ve had it seems to me the recipe for an articulate and modern sound that consistently works for you has a swamp ash body, ebony board, Nordstrand DC pickups and pre, and a Hipshot bridge. Pickup placement also makes a difference in how wide or focused the tone is and I like where Devon sets them. The tops are eye candy but that cocobolo is stunning.

Yeah I've found that works for me best in woods and electronics.

Here is a clip of me playing my Devon with our Praise band. Just using a Starlifter preamp and the bass. Bass was so growly and punchy. Hard to beat this bass in a live band setting.

Nice voicing on that bass. It sits very well in the mix.

Devon has really been getting some killer wood in for some builds. I'm looking at finishing either this Buckeye Top or this really nice Koa with Sapwood.

I like that Koa.

Both super nice but that sapwood in the Koa is killer

That's amazing. I was waiting for him to come out with ramp style pickup cover. That thing is beautiful.

That is gorgeous. Anxious to hear how you like that pickup spacing as I've always owned his standard spacing. Gorgeous bass in every aspect though.

Man Steve. That is unreal. I didn’t know that was yours.

Gorgeous! I'm not normally much of a fan of fretboard inlays, but in this case, the abalone is a wonderful complement to the colors of the top!
