waynepunkdude Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 The blue one is really nice. Don't they do a pink one with yellow dots? Quote

ednaplate Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Ice blue metallic followed by the black one. Quote

rjb Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 The black and the blue are a close thing for me.... Mmmmm... Mmmmm... Blue one! Quote
sifi2112 Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Can't comment on Sadowsky, but do prefer 'black' basses in general .. having some Big Singles in a custom jazz so will let you know what I think of em when it's done & will A/B it with Warmoth jazz (wizard 84's). Si Quote

The Funk Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 (edited) Wow. Model 5079 for me. I love the look of a walnut jazz body with a black scratchplate - either with a maple or rosewood fretboard. Get that, then get bored of it, then sell it to me. Edited July 23, 2008 by The Funk Quote
CHRISDABASS Posted July 23, 2008 Author Posted July 23, 2008 oooooh dont know if this will work but just in case anyone is interested here's a list of prices and options for all you NYC lovers (and potential buyers) out there enjoy!! [attachment=11168:retail_p...08_01_08.pdf] Quote
d-basser Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 black or if not ice blue, personally i would go for black with a matching head stock and a red or black tort guard Quote
OutToPlayJazz Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 I think the Sadowskys look best in the natural with the black guard & maple fingerboard. Like this one... [url="http://www.thebassgallery.com/sadowskyuv70.html"]Sadowsky UV-70[/url] Quote
7string Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Out of your choices, I kinda like the ice blue metallic... (I'd have to get other cases for the pickups. Can't stand exposed pole pieces ). Quote
molan Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 How could there be any better colour than this: Quote
Bigwan Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 [attachment=11175:feat_4770_full_lg.jpg] I'll just throw the cat among the pigeons with this: Quote
simon1964 Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 The sonic blue with matching headstock. Coolest colour for a Jazz! Quote
Marcus Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 (edited) Gold.... rosewood board White Guard Job Done !! [url="http://www.sadowsky.com/stock/view/4671.html"]http://www.sadowsky.com/stock/view/4671.html[/url] Although i'd go for an Alder Body Edited July 24, 2008 by Marcus Quote

chris_b Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 The blue translucent gets my vote (looks just like my Lakland), but you need some nice wood to show it off. My second choice would be the Sadowsky 3 tone sunburst. Quote
Soulfinger Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 [quote name='CHRISDABASS' post='246414' date='Jul 23 2008, 10:11 PM']by the time it gets here i'll be selling everything i own (apart from my metro)[/quote] I´ll have the white Ray, please. Of the colours you listed, definitely Ice Blue. Personally, I´d go for Transparent Walnut with a black pickguard and a maple fingerboard with pearl blocks. Yummy. Quote
