Awesome bass dude!! Does the flash brighten it up? IOW, it vintage tint of some sorts?

Hey Al,

It is a Vintage Tint...The pictures are pretty true to the actually color. I couldn't be happier with it.

Thanks Jim

Great bass! That is exactly what I wanted in a Metro 5er but found a nearly new MS5 a couple of weeks ago that was priced low enough for me to switch.

I love the inlays.

And my new Custom 4 is Done!

-Birdseye Lace Burl Top on Alder body
-Madagascar Rosewood Fingerboard
-Nordstrand Big Singles
-Diamond control layout

It started out with Regular J routes...But I love the Big Singles so much, that this bass needed them.



Rob

That looks great. I'll take it.

I put some EMG J's in my Vintage 4.

HI

Groovy, Nino. How do u like the tone with the new pickups? Description?

Rob

 

[Nino Valenti]

I love EMG's. The 24 fret 5 I used to own had 40J's and I loved it. Bright, clean, aggressive goodness!!!!

Thanks BC, but all credit should go to the builders in Tokyo and Roger and his team.

Hey Jim. what colour is that?

 

[JimS]

Hey Jim. what colour is that?

"Transparent black". But at times it looks like indigo or perhaps very dark currant or dark concord grape purple.

What inspired this finish Dr. Jim ?

The black bass? Nothing, LOL. It was on the in-stock page. Usually I go for figured wood topped basses. But this bass had soapbars in J bass locations mated to a swamp ash body and maple board. I have wanted to try these pups in these locations with these woods for some time.

I had the bass shipped, tried it, and was blown away by the tone. http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=413386

It prompted me to custom order a pimped out Sadowsky Vintage Jazz 4 with those pups in those ( or maybe 70s) J bass locations. I just didn't want to live without this punchy J bass type tone for 6-8 months. It's that fun!
