honestly, I am not a huge fan of music mans. They have a high end "clank" to them that is miserable. The new fender american jazz basses are great

Thanks, I really appreciate your help!! Have you tried any US decade model lakland basses? I am very curious about these basses, but I haven't heard much of anything on them! Are they crummy? They have been out for a bit, and I can barely find any when I search google. Sadowsky and Laklands...

He said it was fine, and that I didn't need to buy any more basses. Sounds a lot like "perfectly fine" to me!

why did you switch to alembic/lakland if Fender was perfectly fine? I've considered laklands too :)

I've thought about vintage, too! The fact that it will appreciate makes it a sensible investment. Maybe an early 70's jazz I could affford...

The Custom jazz that I have is pretty amazing honestly. I guess I always feel I need to get something better, always. Always have! the never satisfied approach. I had a good friend of mine tell me "If you want to be taken seriously, you need to show up with the right gear to be TAKEN...

Hey all, I'm looking for a bass that's in the 3k-5k price range, to get my foot in the door doing studio work. Do I go for vintage?? Or something new like Sadowsky/Alembic/Lakland?? I'm not sure what producers in general desire more on a regular basis. I know everyone's different. Sorry...

You know what would also look rad? An olympic white finish with a black pickguard and black block inlays. I've seen it on a 70's fender jazz, it was absolutely beautimus!

There's a phase of "breaking in" for me. The first few months, I baby it. In this case, my new Sadowsky. I got a slight chip in the finish, and of course I blew up. But after I chilled out, it made me realize a few things. One, was that things like this are going to happen, it's meant to be...

I haven't played a Lull, but as the saying goes, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." I was always hesitant about a bass that could do everything. I always felt that a bass should be able to do ONE thing really well, and that you should own multiple basses for different applications. My...

I just tracked a song that's going to be pitched for the soundtrack to a movie. It took me just over 30 minutes to track this one song, about 4 or 5 takes, and a few "punch in" parts. I came into the studio knowing nothing about the song, was handed a chord chart, and made notes accordingly...

Most of what you said, I'll agree with! It seems like everyone's kinda bombarding you! Which is a bummer. I, personally, just bought a Sadowsky RV4 a couple weeks ago which I absolutely love. I did a ton of research before I ordered it, and so far it meets my needs quite well! There are...

The Olympic White is definately sweet! As long as you take care of the Reissue, it will be fine. Like, not leaving it in the snow, or in the sahara desert. The 62 would be able to work in a vintage settle, as well as many styles of the present. Adjusting the truss rod can be a pain, carving...

I love it. I need to raise the saddles on the bridge a tiny bit, it's a little buzzy. The strings they ship with are also a little squeaky, which is ok because it kinda accents my mistakes, giving me plenty of criticism! My only gripe (sorta) is that when the VTC knob is raised to put it in...

Just to update everyone: I'm the proud owner of a new Sadowsky RV4 in Sonic Blue! I'd post pictures if I knew how...:(
