Of course, Sadowsky + Epifani/EA/Glockenklang/Phil Jones/EBS/Genz-Benz/Aguilar/Orange/Trace Elliot/Yugo/Tabasco/Gucci all sounds pretty good, too. |

Seriously, though, my point is that Sadowsky's just sound great, period, and they are amazingly consistent in this regard. So, if you have a rig that you are happy with, then in all likelihood, a Sadowsky through that rig should be quite satisfying.
But, all the really cool guys know that the only real choice is a Sadowsky bass through a Sadowsky rig.

| BS set aside, I simply must agree. I hope I can find the right deal on a Sadowsky PJ5 someday, but in the mean time, my 24F just sounds damn good thru anything I plug it into. Believe that.  |

(I dig the gold hardware though), and the Yugo tends to rattle too much on the low notes. +1 to everything else though. |

Having that "hefty chuck o'wood" in your hands is, IMO, part of the feel of a vintage bass as opposed to the modern more lighter "super jazz". That's why I was surpised to hear that the ultra vintage series are chambered. FWIW.

Bassist | | Join Date: Mar 2002 Location: Santander, Spain | | Hey guys! all this useless arguing about which rig is better with a Sadowsky reminds me of teenage kids bragging about their 'manhood' being longer 
By the way! My Sadowsky through my Read Purity preamp sound better than any of yours. 
Seriously now; since this is the Sadowsky club let's talk Sadowsky: what new product would we like to see coming out of the Sadowsky shop? (A 5 string Hybrid is a fact, so that doesn't count)
I'd love to see an small amp following the same design philosophy than the Portabag: "It Takes A New Yorker To Design A Great small Amp". I am sure Roger’s idea of great, portable tone would be a winner (Roger, can you hear me?). |

Am I wrong?
