That’s quite the collection!!

[CameronJ]

Wow! Some beautiful instruments there! I bet they all sound killer too. What’s the single coil 5 string P bass in the middle?

It is Alleva Coppolo 81009, a century old one piece pine body, maple neck, single coil pickup, nitro finish...best bass I've ever played...

My god. It ain’t cheap then

Damn... That group shot! What a collection. They're all incredible, but that pink F looks funky.

How on earth do you decide what to play — the choice is bewildering!

It’s a problem I wouldn’t mind having!

But a dice has 6 sides...

Better give Ken Smith a ring! 😁👍

Did you order this direct from NYC? I’m ordering one soon and have so many questions if I may?

I bought it second hand - so I really don't know - but there souldn't be any problems ordering it. You pay - they send it - you pay import taxes

You've never been in a D&D* campaign then!

Nice basses - that's two blue Sadowsky Satins in a week here then!

*other RPGs are available.

[albinokiller]

Yes - d10 solves the problem

[Daz39]

D4+1 and make the one you played last time 1

[mattbass6]

That is beautiful and I am not normally a Jazz bass fan. It looks amazing but, your F Bass is something else. That made me visit the F Bass site and has reignited a lot of GAS. Thanks for that 🙄😂

Tried a similar model and it was sublime. Too expensive mind but that’s nothing new!

[ianrendall]

First time back out to rehearsal since last March with my Satin tonight. Very excited!

[Sibob]

How do their satin finishes wear? I imagine they might be more susceptible to bumps and scrapes?

Lovely collection!

I keep quite an active interest on the Sadowsky Bass Owners Facebook group and I haven’t yet heard of any complaints about the finish.

The surface does feel more robust than it looks however.
