I suggest to contact Brian at http://www.bestbassgear.com/, he'll fix you up. |

Anyone know for sure?

They are made by Seymour Duncan... very punchy and aggressive. There are Nordstand singles that fit the Sadowsky also, and they sound very nice too... a bit warmer and a touch darker than the Sadowsky pickups. I assume if you contact Carey Nordstand, he would tell you which model is sized and voiced for the Sadowksy bass.
I would go with the Sadowsky singles myself. I love them myself. The bass will still sound much more like a Sadowsky than a Fender, but it will be warmer, punchier and more grindy up top than the more hi fi sizzle of the stock HC's.
IMO and IME! |

Anyone know for sure? | The only Fralins I've seen up close were on a Lakland Joe Osborn ans yes, they were "Fender-size" - larger than Sadowsky size. But Lindy Fralin will probably make you a custom pickup that would fit on a Sadowsky. |

| | | | If I'm not mistaken, the M5V is a Lull. Sadowsky's is an MV5.
I know, big woop. ...just sayin'. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
