Still Nice that blue one you have, he is building me another Jazz 4, this time not vintage but instead with Sadowsky SC and SADOWSKY Pre, Maple Neck/Fretboard, i will not disclose the color as of yet or the top, this will be a surprised when it is done..My next one will be a five string for sure, my playing has gotten better and i feel more comfortable now playing a five.

So, I recently picked up #075 (used) at the local GAS treatment center... Love everything about it. But I quickly noticed the treble boost on the OBP 1 wasn't working correctly :hmm:. I'll spare you the details of the symptoms. So I started troubleshooting the problem, and called Nino for some input, expecting to figure out the source of the problem and that was all. He was confident that it was the pot and was nice enough to send me a new one within a week :D(keep in mind I'm at least the second owner and the bass is about 2 years old). My tech installed the pot and now it's good as new. It's everything i wanted: modern J, fast neck, understated looks, a non-fender headstock that doesn't look ridiculous. I'll get some pics up soon.

Thanks Nino! :bassist:

I should be shot. Almost let 067 go for a UV5. Sadowsky dont ALWAYS sit well in the mix. 067 with Aero singles does. :) Always need to play a bass live or at least in a band setting before you can decide if you like it. Always. 067's neck is faster easier than a UV5 for sure.

Tastee, an ebony board with Fralin single coils!!!! man you dont have a clip, do you? ( Fralins sound much like Aeros to me; I LIKE IT!)
