It'll be awesome... It's a sadowsky...

The aesthetics don't do it for me though... I always think natural wood finish fender shapes look a bit odd.

Very nice. Not sure what the 'Masterbuilt' means in the description. A Sadowsky NYC is a Sadowsky NYC. Maybe it means it has the non standard black chrome hardware, ebony fingerboard and the fancy top. I bought a slightly older five string NYC from Bass Direct a couple of months ago and it was approximately a grand cheaper than that, though mine had none of the aforementioned extras and a few more cosmetic 'dings'. Still sounds great though!

Wow, that's lovely. What I'd really like is that fitted case, at a sensible price!

[RhysP]

For that kind of money I'd at least expect a one piece body on a natural finish instrument.

[Sibob]

Yet people only moan about Foder pricing lol

Looks lovely though!

Paint it and stick a scratchplate on it and you're golden

[Treb]

awesome bass.

[Kev]

Eww. Sure it a nice bass to play but aesthetically not my thing.

Agree with other comments, you would expect a once piece body at that price point, unless there is a fundamental reason why it should be two piece (Dingwall's dual density body, for example).

I think it's a mistake and is supposed to be 'Mastergrade' which is how Sadowsky describe their top quality woods

[stingrayPete1977]

I do wonder if the chambering is why it's not a slab?

Fantastic but 3500 pounds will mean somerhing more for me...

Fair enough. I thought it was meant as 'more' from a bass. But yeah, 3.5k would get you a lot more elsewhere!
