Sadowsky is a high-end New York brand whose clientele includes top musicians like Marcus Miller and Will Lee. (Titles omitted)
This is a masterpiece from the Sadowsky NYC brand, which seems to have become increasingly rare recently.
The neck end is signed ""okada 481 7-25-13-34,"" indicating that it was distributed by Okada International.
This model is a Vintage J Bass, a popular 5-string JB type.
The body is made of alder with the familiar chambered finish.
The neck is maple, and the fingerboard is Morado, a typical Sadowsky configuration.
The pickups are equipped with the brand's signature hum-canceling type.
It's noiseless yet has a strong treble element, without losing the sharp sound of the JB type.
The preamp is the original two-band.
Needless to say, this electronics combination is superb.
The overall construction is a classic Sadowsky NYC JB type.
That's why it has a sound that so many people love.
The clean, smooth playing feel and speedy sound allow you to fully experience the Sadowsky signature.
This is the brand's highest-end line.
It's definitely worth trying.
This is a highly recommended guitar.
