| | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: North Dakota | | | I tried a maple board version of this bass...twice...and thought it was a little too bright/modern sounding. I wonder if the Pau Ferro board would tame it down a bit. I loved everything about the bass - neck, b string, etc.
Of the 3 Sadowsky basses I've tried (M5, RV4, M5-24) I liked the M5-24 the best. Maybe the 3rd times would be the charm...

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Feb 2002 Location: Winston-Salem, NC | | | Yes - I think that is the case. I owned one a few years ago that was ash/maple and a little too aggressive sounding for me. The alder body is more even sounding and the pau ferro has nice clarity without being too snappy.
For my indie rock band, I turn up the treble for a little more bite, in the blues/classic rock band I turn it way down for a more traditional warm tone, with some of that Stingray-like punch still present. Still excels at killer slap tones, too! |

missed that earlier request!
I'm away from the bass, but my guess would be 8 - 8 1/2 lbs. Very balanced and comfortable.
I'll weigh it when I get home. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: North Dakota | | | Damn. I played a bunch of Fender stuff today - American Standard J, American Special J, Highway One P, Geddy Lee J, etc. They are nice, but...
I'm still tempted to try this...maybe third time's the charm. The alder/rosewood combo may suit me better than the ash/maple I tried before. I convinced myself this bass was too modern for my R&B/funk horn band, but so many people like it......arghhhh. I'm tired of thinking about gear.

Well, at least balance that by playing & practicing more to enhance the ear candy that I already have! | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
