I really like those plain white basses but they look even better with a black headstock and a fingerboard that´s as dark as possible...

I think you should start a Go Fund Me Page Doc.So many folks are looking forward to me buying a Sadowsky. It is a pretty interesting feeling.
View attachment 3711832 BTW, my Verdine White Deluxe. Love it, especially with Sss as dowsky Blue Label Flats.
So as an owner of a VW can you tell us what is "signature" about the bass (besides the actual signature on the headstock)?View attachment 3711832 BTW, my Verdine White Deluxe. Love it, especially with Sadowsky Blue Label Flats.
Call me silly but I can't get past the lone, G-string tuner on basses.This white bass is beautiful in its simplicity. Verdine White Signature basses View attachment 3710690 maybe the best looking Sadowsky's in my opinion.

The body is the smaller jazz style used on most Sadowsky Js (their regular PJs, from what I understand, are full size bodies).
I don't know of any other significant differences.
Part of the proceeds go to Verdine White's nonprofit center in LA.
Au contraire. I believe all the NYC P/J's that have jazz bodies (as opposed to P-bass bodies) are all the smaller Jazz body.

They also make full size bodies like this current PJ listing w 20 frets:

The VW has been defined (at least so far) by the smaller jazz body plus PJ...
You are right. They do make full-sized Jazzes now. Who knew? Haha, probably but everyone but me...
Is that what Sadowsky used to call "ultra vintage."
That is something that must have started in the last few years. When I ordered mine, it was smaller Jazz bodies only.
Must admit I like the smaller body.
