|  | THIS HAND OF MINE GLOWS WITH AN AWESOME POWER! | | Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: USA; Mitchellville, Maryland | | | Played this one myself and it sounds SIIIIICK! Massive tone. Powerful lows, growly mids and a really brilliant top end. Not that it's crazy bright or anything but the top end just sounds really full range -- complex, if that makes any more sense. Tonally, I'd say it's surprisingly similar to a 60s jazz bass but with more focus down low and more punch in the low mids. With the exception of two or three bass brands, I'm not usually the biggest fan of dual coil pickups in fretted basses but this is one of those basses that eliminates all the things I tend to dislike about them. This right here is a dangerous bass folks.

It took me completely by surprise when I plugged it in. It's funny, the first question I asked Sammie after I played this bass was the same one I asked Joey Nahas when I first tried one on his custom speakers...
"How busy do you want to be?"
Like the Nahas cabs I still use to this day, these basses represent something special IMO as far as high performance at what I already told him was a steal of a price. Preach has been gigging his for a few weeks. Got the call that my new one is ready.
I'm typically not a fan of light basses. Like my Yancey, he's found a way to build a lightweight bass that kicks major butt... by my standards.

The look of this bass is beyond normal, I have a Sadowsky Metro and love the preamp, so starting from there it has to be good. What pick up are you using? I'm in a process to sell my American Deluxe Jazz Bass V and will be shopping around for a Sadowsky Metro Vintage 60s with Alder body and Rosewood o Morado fretboard, but the wenge is a excellent tone wood to, as my Warwicks are. I might be changing my mind and be one of the fist to buy one of these.
Bless you all. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
