Details

Doing this makes me feel like I'm stepping on a plane that's low on fuel and one engine ain't working. When I hit post I'm headed for the Pepto Bismol!!! What is it about these instruments...we get this intimate passionate connection...certainly not like selling a slightly used couch or refrigerator. Can you do a feeler for a feeler? Kind of like willing to be willing. It's my beloved NYC Sadowsky PJ...maybe +/- 5 years old. Bought it from Roger pre-owned. Black pearl chambered ash, maple board with 1.5" nut...other than sitting in the floor and watching the Weather Channel while practicing un-amplified slap patterns and 2-5-1's it hasn't been gigged. So other than normal playing wear there are no visible scratches, nicks etc. 8.05 lbs. and has the hard-shell case. No, no, no, trade offers. Here comes the IBS...gottah go!

I'd keep it. I sold my 2013 custom built Sadowsky NYC Vintage Jazz and regretted it terribly. Then, as fate would have it, I completely lucked out this year when I received an email from a TalkBass member who saw my original listing for the bass when I sold it. He was selling it on behalf of the estate of the current owner who had unfortunately passed away and he reached out to me to see if I was interested in getting it back! I JUMPED at the opportunity and now it will be with me til my final day on this earth!!!!

How does the soapbar bridge pickup sound compared to a regular Jazz pickup?

Somebody asked me that same question a while back. I would say a little thicker/warmer??? If you solo it you can still get that burpy tone. FWIW Roger, in collaboration with Will Lee, came up with this combo years ago. I think he’s gone to (2) single coils on his Will Lee bass. Maybe some of these other TB’ers can chime in on the differences.
