I've enjoyed the Sadowsky PJ experiment; and while I do have one I've more or less bonded with, it's not going to ascend to First Tier Assault Weapon status. Maybe this won't either, time will tell.

I really hope you like this bass. Many have given up on it (including me during a brief period of insanity) thinking it didn't have enough pillow or fundamental support. If you take the time you will get past it. I use it for everything from Louis Armstrong to Katie Perry. I can do the Motown thing, as well as techno pop with mine. With the M5-24,the VTC is not only your friend, but your personal sound tech. Check out this clip. Great playing for sure and the bassist shows a nice tonal pallet with his Modern http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9wyP...ature=youtu.be
It can be a pit bull if you want it to, but it has a very sweet side if given the chance.

Hey Jerry;
you were one of the proponents of the Modern whose posts I read while researching whether it might fit me. Thanks for that clip.
There were two clips on line that hinted at it being workable for me. One is Will Lee; he sounds pretty fab on anything, so...there's that.
The other clip, I don't know the guy, but the middle two finger style clips are sounds I dig.

Wow, love the grain on this one! Enjoy and grats to you!

Hey Note, it's nice to see some pics of my old bass #4769, it can cut through like a knife, enjoy it Bassbro.

[notejung]

Wow you are Original Owner,right?

I love this one very much!
Happy and nice to meet u. ^______^

[davidb]

I bought it from the Sadowsky shop in New York, it was used but didn't have a mark on it other than the normal slight pick guard swirl. It came with the HC pickups, I put the single coils in it and I would imagine that's what it still has. I used it at every gig and I'm a full time player. I took very good care of it.
Very nice to meet you as well, all the best.
David

Thank u David,

How different between HC pickup and single coil Pickup?

Well IME I found the HC pups on the 5 strings to be a little scooped in the mids. Still a great pup but didn't fit my tone goals.
The SC pups has a better mid focus that's great for finger style and still has that grind we all love from a J style bass. There is alot of love in here for the SC pups!

The 4 string pups are a different story. I prefer the HC pups in my Standard 4 strings!

I'd been considering one of the new G&L M2500's, and then saw this bass in classifieds here; and shoved off thoughts of the G&L.

I'm sure the M-Series are nice, and I bet I'd like them more than the L-Series (which I played for decades)...I'd sorta be surprised if this bass and the G&L M-series don't have some sonic similarities; and the Sadowsky won't leave me bothered by the G&L's narrow string spacing...

This should be here mid-next week:

Congrats Chef. I'm jealous . I sold a 24-5 a couple of years ago and have been kicking myself in the a** since. Looked hard at this one but not able to pull the trigger right now. There are some nights when you rerally want "THAT TONE" !!! Mine would give me a deep, warm but VERY edgy aggressive sound without losing it's melodic, musical, "singing" qualities. Not sure how to describe it technically but when I'd hear those sounds it would always make me dig in a little deeper on the instrument and felt soooo good. The reason why we play!!
Hope you get lots'a joy out of it.
Congrats again

what he said!!!

[Chef]

JerryZiarko sent me a couple of links to him playing his Modern.
Along with the two clips I posted earlier, my preconceived notions of what that bass "should" sound like have been fairly well changed...
I'll let Jerry post the here if he cares to.

btw: he's a *really good player!*
