Club Sadowsky (Part 31)

[Doug Parent]

I had a ........... (what the hell was it.....) a Pedulla Rapture RB5, Bart soap bar in sweet spot, probably a P2 size. Super punchy and beefy, better than a P bass in a few ways.

Wonder if Roger (with no "D") ever made a fiver like that was not based on a 51P vibe, but more like a modified J bass? I be s'posing he could do a special order. Just curious.

My vision is starting to come to life
Started a Solid body (non-chambered) Alder/Rosewood JJ build a little while back. The biggest concern I had was getting a light weight, resonant piece of solid Alder. I requested final build weight to be approx 8.75 lbs.

Kevin just sent me an email with this little gem attached:




Add 5lbs for the rest of the instrument for an approx final weight – we arrive at 8.6 lbs !!! I asked, and they delivered! Even lighter then requested, while still keeping it an unchambered solid body!

Looks like some really nice grain in that alder body too!

Yeah, I noticed that too... but this is going to be a solid Vintage Shoreline Gold finish.

Here is my photo-chopped vision:



Knowing its going to be around 8.6lbs makes this wait time all the more worth while

I first learned about Sadowsky Basses from Mr. Newsted

[maurilio]

Ha, I know this bass very well!!! If no one changed anything it should have Nord NJ4SV
Nice and light , very resonant! That bass played on Tom Jones stages and some other big night shows!
I didn't know it ended up in France.

Thanks Maurillo for the informations.

I've bought the bass in Czech republic via Basschat (UK).

Man...lovin' this freakin Will Lee...the neck is awesome...
Tonights rig: a bit of a bigger club so I brought out a slighty bigger set up:
My Will Lee
GenzBenz Streamerliner 900
Bag End S15D-X
Bag End Q10D-X

That Will Lee lit it up tonight.....

[Fran Diaz]

Anybody knows Blair's (P. Bass) whereabouts?

It's been a long time since he posted on the thread; he has not even been on TB for a few months. I also emailed him with no answer.

I'm a little concerned.

I have to agree with this statement. I was going to sell my Will Lee 4 but after playing my last 3 gigs with it I am just loving the way it cuts through the mix. And how easy it plays. I am glad it didn't sell. It's funny how what's meant to be works out for the better sometimes. At this point I am thinking about selling my Lakland 55 94 and getting a Sadowsky 5 and going all Sadowsky.

You won't get any arguments here on this.

I've been wondering about Blair for some time, now. I thought that I missed a post somewhere regarding Blair.

Lee you and he were exchanging clips for awhile weren't you?

[NOLA Bass]

I hope Blair is doing okay.

Good call David! Your WL has a special meaning. You don't want to part with that!
