Here's a pic of my current go-to Fender American Jazz Bass with EMG-X pups and a 3-way EMG Pre-amp. It looks almost identical to the Sadowsky I just bought. It's a great bass I named "Big Red".

My Sadowsky will be "Li'l Red"

I'm dying to hear and feel the differences between the two.
They're a huge difference in price, so I have high hopes.

Happy Lusting!

So this is a venture into unknown territory for me, based solely on the fabulous feedback Roger and his crew consistently gets here on TalkBass. I really admire their business model and appreciate their reputation for the best service anywhere.

I'll publish my review once I receive this baby.
I've got my fingers crossed!


We played @ a very big club friday night and the house soundman came up to me after the show and said you have hands down the best bass tone I have ever heard in all of my years of running sound. Then he started asking what kind of amp I was using and I handed him my Sadowsky and told him I think this is the source of what you are hearing.

Indeed...I have had many similar comments from sound guys, and they look at my amp. I tell them it's all the bass.

Playing a bass that plays like a dream and sounds great just makes playing music awesome.

I watched some vids of yours about a week ago. Im very impressed that you play with so many good bands and play so many songs and never seem to hit a bad note.

Get used to it... I got a guitar playing friend who refuses to play with me if I don't bring my Sadowsky...

Thing is, there's a lot of tone in your fingers, too! Don't discount that!

Yep, though some basses make my fingers sound better than others.
