sadowky laser beams

Sign in to disble this ad
I recently bought a sadowsky metro second hand off a guy from ebay. I went and collected the bass took it home and had a good long play with it.
It was only the next day that i noticed that i was able to shoot laser beams out of my eyes and burn holes through metal. as the day went on i didnt play the bass and noticed that the laser beams wern't as powerful as before and the colour of the beams wer now a glowing orange unlike the firey red earlier that day. So i went and had another play and almost instantly the beams were back to red and cutting through roof of my neighbours car with ease, just like a hot knife to butter actually.
I was wondering do all sadowsky's have this effect, is it just the metros, or is it some japanese ancient spirit or do the nyc basses do thisas well.
But then i rembered the guy i bought it from, it occurred to me that he didnt actually speak but talked telepathically to me and i was some how able to talk back like this to him with no previous telepathic speaking experience,his hands were also covered with what i thought was tin foil but now i have no doubt it was some sort of futuristic material that powered his telepathic abilities whilst simitaneously releasing key minerals to his nervous system that stop him from bursting into flames due to a completely new atmosphere, it was so weird.
I went back to talk to him about it but when i got there his house was gone and all that was left was black burned scorch marks that looked like a rocket ship had left after launch off my worst fears were confirmed he had bolted and left me with so many unaswered questions. I have a friend who owns a private laboratory, so i took some samples of the scorch marks and he confirmed that the fuel used is not from this planet and the fuel burns less per square inch than normal rocket fuel, which means that less fuel is needed to travel greater distances and the space craft can stay on a voyage for much longer without the need for refuelling. He also said that it is quite possible that they might also have invented a way of refuelling that would enable them to refuel anywhere there is water in the form of a compressed pill that is added to water instantly coverting it to the fuel.
Dont get me wrong this laser beam thing has its upsides but the whole experience has left me traumitised.
Has anyone else had any experiences like this with the metro series or even the nyc basses. I contacted ebay but they're no help at all and have told me my issues are out of their hands. It would be great to hear any thoughts on this.
Thanks guys,
Dave Davidson

Thank you. I'm still pretty shaken by the whole affair. i've also just discovered that the laser beams can cut through concrete but the concrete crackels and spits as the lasers cut through it and the left eye laser beam is a bit weaker than the right one, maybe if i adjusted one of the pick ups this might fix that.

Or you could have someone stab you in the right eye. Works for me.

Sssshhhh! The first rule of Sadowsky laser beam eyes is you don't talk about Sadowsky laser beam eyes! And you can never look in a mirror again.

I noticed a similar thing when I first got my SX. I replaced the pups with noiseless ones, though, and now I simply influence the strings to vibrate with my mind. The lasers are 60 cycle hum.
