thanks! and the same to you.

I'm entering the studio today and can't wait to hear my PJ4 recorded in a real studio...2" tape and digital, I'll get to know the magic of the old tape recordings :rolleyes:

Oh dear - I seem to have done it again :)

I've gone and bought a Sadowsky NYC. I guess I knew this was the answer to some of my issues but never really expected to summon up the guts to do anything about it. I was seriously impressed by my MV4 Jazz but the Jazz pickup configuration just doesn't do it for me and I'm not keen on the Jazz body shape either. I liked the Metro PJ I had (now back in Psychoandys mitts) but the Jazz pickup location was a bit mellow and the 12" radius fingerboard doesn't agree with me either (also a tad heavier than I'd like). I knew a NYC was the only way to change these niggles...

This beauty has a lovely Birdseye maple fingerboard with a 9" radius and a big fat 60's P neck (which I've come to love after playing my Pino). It's a solid ash body with some nice figuring and a weight about 8lbs. Even more of a bonus is that the J pickup has been fitted nearer the bridge 70's stylee. Fran knows all about this one...but the real question is, will it beat the Pino in a head to head

Now - how the hell am I going to get it to the UK ASAP?...

That's a killer bass, the Sadowsky P width neck feels great. I have played my J maybe a total of 10 hours since I got my PJ 8 months ago; and I have to say that my J is very sweet.

What I did when I got mine was sending it to Roger for a set-up and revision and then they sent it my way through FedEx, as they always do.

Post some photos and review of your own when you get it.


...ah, and congrats!!!

I prefer it to my Sadowsky jazz it just seems to punch thru better esp when just using the p pup. Loving the NYC btw congrats. Andy

This is a great thread!
Which of your amazing pair do u prefer? I bet both are amazing, it must be tough to decide what to take on the gig.

I love my metro modern 5 string. It does it all and sounds great on all gigs, but I would still love either a J or PJ 5 string :-)
