ReBass,

The Metro is very nice but the NYC is superior in every way.

Vic,

I cant wait to come up and watch you guys and let you test drive my Bass.

They are Ebony

ClassicJazz,

 You can borrow my drill if you want. He He He.

Blair,

 I havent opened the control cavity yet But I know Rob LoPrinzi built my bass.

Classic Jazz,

That is a beautiful Tort PG that goes so well with 59Burst. If I had all the quilt shining underneath the strings it would mezmerize me and I would forget what I am playing. Plus better to have my fingernail marks from slapping and popping on that and not on the finish. Roger would be glad to drill some holes and put one on your basses. LOL

I should be getting my Sadowsky within a couple of months. I was wondering if I should have the action set up normal or low. I need to know what the Sadowsky shop calls normal and low set up? Does some one from the shop have the string height @ the 12th fret for normal and low action ? I like a very low action and have my Metro set up what I call very low. But need to know Sadowsky's interpretation of low. Thanks,

                                     Mike

From last weekend

 This weekend. Fun Show

  I ordered BE Maple with Ebony Blocks and Vintage tint. Cant wait to get it.

Here is a clip of chris M. from TB. (chrisgotfunk) with an ash/morado UV70 with SCs. I own this bass now. I like the SC pups.

Cant wait to get mine. I am hoping (for bragging rights) that mine is the first NYC Vintage 5 with Blocks.

A couple of pics from last night. This bar is in the middle of no where. The ppl love us there and it gets so packed you cant get to the bar when we play there. Its just one of those places that gets very wild and fun.  BTW The sound guy loved the Sadowsky.

The Ebony blocks was an add on after the build was started so it added some time on to my completion date but I feel the blocks will be well worth the wait.

     If anyone has Directv Lady Antebellum is coming on in 20 minutes on Directv's concert series. Channel 331. The concerts cycle thru so I watched Lady Antebellum a few days ago. Dennis's Bass tone is so Fat and cutting @ the same time. Very supportive yet cuts like a knife. A perfect example of the Sadowsky Magic in a mix.

I agree with you 100%.  I wish I would have started my build as soon as I decided to get a NYC model. I wasted 4 or 5 months trying to find one.
