[quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1349445117' post='1826444'] What was Fred's favourite colour? As you're naming the bass after your dad, why not go a little further with the tribute? [/quote]That's a good thought, but I really have no idea, it's really not what a son talks to his father about or vica versa!

Not sure they do binding now. Blocks would be nice but more expensive again! Any pics?

Sherwood green is catching my eye atm I used to have a Lakland DPLE1 in Sherwood metallic. Obviously it would be 5 string, would a matching head stock on RW board make it look too dark?

I wonder if they would do a build pics/video? Loving some of the colour suggestions.

Yup a bit like that perhaps lighter with more grain showing! how do i spec' that to Sadowsky?

Can someone mock me up a natural (sadowsky vintage tint) 5 string with RW board and a tort guard i have no idea how to do that and cant find one on their site. pretty please.

As an aside the wife said, "of course, order it, you've had enough grief in your life lately, get it ordered if that's what you want" Love her to bits

Agreed has to be RW board on a Jazz, so that's one decision made cheers OHM

As you may know I have been wanting a NYC 5 Sadowsky for some time (see wanted postings) to no avail, had some offers but nothing that really ticked my boxes in full. The purchase was in memory of my late Father who left me some money, and I wanted to buy something that I could remember him buy rather than just fritter the money away. I have a Metro 4 that I have had for many years and love it to bits, but wanted a 5 string to complement it. The 5'er will be known as Five string Fred (my dads name). I have spoken at length with Kevin at Sadowsky HQ and mentioned the Will Lee 5 string neck being narrower and to my preference, he stated the WL neck dimensions could be specified to any NYC bass, but obviously missing the mid boost switch, which Im not too fussed about. So I intend to order: Now the big question, what colour? My Metro is Olympic white, but I have a hankering for a natural vintage tint, not sure on maple or RW board though, but would like other suggestions before I push the button! So please, suggestions and pic samples, feed my eyes and entertain my need to get it right. Over to you:
