phsycoandy Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 Just in from Kevin at Sadowsky HQ, note they have dropped "Guitars" from the head stock it now just says NYC. Can't wait for delivery now, and i'm pleased with my colour choice and that I chose the tort guard rather than standard black one: [URL=http://s79.photobucket.com/user/phsycoandy/media/stuff/more%20gear/DSC_3107.jpg.html][IMG]http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j135/phsycoandy/stuff/more%20gear/DSC_3107.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s79.photobucket.com/user/phsycoandy/media/stuff/more%20gear/DSC_3106.jpg.html][IMG]http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j135/phsycoandy/stuff/more%20gear/DSC_3106.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s79.photobucket.com/user/phsycoandy/media/stuff/more%20gear/DSC_3108.jpeg.html][IMG]http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j135/phsycoandy/stuff/more%20gear/DSC_3108.jpeg[/IMG][/URL] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

risingson Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 That tort pickguard was a far better choice than black IMO, it looks amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingus Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 In my experience , boutique bass builders all talk a good game about the quality of their work and their comittment to quality , but way too many of them deliver disappointing or substandard final results . Sadowsky are a [u]very [/u]notable exception . They really do demand that every aspect of every bass they put out of their shop is absolutely perfect and to the very highest standard possible . When you buy a NYC Sadowsky you know that it will be right . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezbass Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 As nice as it must be to get pics, and it looks great BTW, there must be an element of torture in them for you. I won't say 'hope it pays as good as it looks' 'cos you just know it will and hope doesn't enter into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Nice! From seeing recent prices of Fodera's and the ever rising prices of Sadowsky Metro's/Fender USA basses, I bet this was actually a pretty reasonable price. Do you have to deal with import duties? Or is it through a store? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTB Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 She's a beaut........and I'd go for maple too as, like you, I have an RV4. Looking forward to hearing how she plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowerbassment Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) Congrats on a fantastic bass! Did you go with Single Coil or Humcancelling pickups? Edited May 1, 2013 by lowerbassment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_b Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) I like the look of this bass. Usually I don't go for plain bodies but the vintage tint makes all the difference and the tort is a perfect combination. The only thing I’d change is the fb. I'd have gone for rosewood. Is this bass chambered? Put me first in the queue when you decide to sell it!!!! Edited May 1, 2013 by chris_b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]That was my biggest quandary about the board, I do like a nice bright bass, and I already have a RW boarded 4 for band work, this one is largely for my gospel band work which I do, and wont be visiting any dodgy pubs any time soon.

I do kinda wish EBMM had a custom shop, charging big bucks but producing custom built Musicman basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
