Funnybass Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Hi, I like to order me a new Jazz Bass, but can't make up my mind about the color. What is your first choice? What are your toughts? 1. Black Pearl met matching headstock [url="http://sadowsky.com/stock/stock_images/nyc/lg/5238_full_lg.jpg"]http://sadowsky.com/stock/stock_images/nyc...238_full_lg.jpg[/url] 2. Candy Apple Orange met matching headstock [url="http://sadowsky.com/stock/stock_images/nyc/lg/5409_full_lg.jpg"]http://sadowsky.com/stock/stock_images/nyc...409_full_lg.jpg[/url] 3.

thisnameistaken Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I'm not a fan of Sadowskys but I think the red/tort is the best looking. Pearloid pickguards shouldn't be allowed, they are foul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lojo Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Mate this stuff is so subjective I love sunburst and light blues in general, so i like the ice blue one Id also buy a cheaper Fender instead, whatever anyone says about them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilddx Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 There's no Olympic White so I can't play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
risingson Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 That candy apple orange and the candy apple red are just beautiful with the tort pick guard combo. I'd add sonic/daphne blue w/3 ply white and a maple board into the mix as well, probably seamfoam green also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 On paper the orange but looking at the pictures probably the blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul h Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I'd be torn between the Ice Blue and the Candy Apple Red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skej21 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Black... always got to be black (especially with the matching headstock!) But get a black or tort scratchplate. That pearloid one is horrid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stingray5 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 It's all very subjective, "one man's meat..." etc., but of the choices shown, it would definitely be the black with black pearl guard for me. Personally, I don't mind the black pearl though, to answer #6, maybe an alternative would be a plain black/white/black guard? Or even a dark red tort on black?

Vibrating G String Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Sherwood green, white pickguard, rosewood board and matching headstock. Like this but with a painted headstock. [url="http://www.sadowsky.com/stock/stock_images/nyc/lg/5374_full_lg.jpg"]http://www.sadowsky.com/stock/stock_images...374_full_lg.jpg[/url] I actually like all 5 in the original post.

HeavyJay Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 (edited) Sonic Blue with white, tort or black p/g Sunburst with tort Although with those options, the Candy Red is the one.

JTUK Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Have to say that Sadowsky make such pretty basses, IMO, I think you would have to try very hard to get anything really wrong..maybe I'd stay away from black blocks on maple, if it were me. My choice would a rich tobacco burst with red tort plate and RW neck with MOP blocks and white binding. Out of the choices you list maybe the blues work for me but none are offensive by any means, they all work, even black which isn't my thing.
