Hi guys, I need cash for a new business venture and need to come my AMAZING bass, commissioned by Sadowsky: Ordered from scratch, picked top components, played in studio/recordings, in excellent condition. The bass is 4 string, NYC, Mastergrade Koa top, tortoise pick guard, maple neck, drop D...

Thanks guys. EMG Active PJ Pickups ordered, I will let you guys know how it goes.

Thanks guys. I guess that I pretty set to try the EMG PJ. Relative to sound replication, definitely not trying to make my Sad sound like a Fodera, I just want a punchier sound that I'm getting right now. What I am still unclear on is whether trying the Active EMG PJ or the Passive EMG PJ...

Hi, Has anybody tried to to put EMG PJ onto a Sadowsky NYC 4? I owned a Sadowsky NYC 4 (Vintage 24 w/ Koa top, Ash body & Maple neck), but am not so happy about the stock Sadowsky PJ. I recently tried a Fodera Ying Yang and, while I don't care much for its look, the sound was on steroids...

Thanks Steubig.I am not sure how to check the tension on the low B (apart from feeling that it is not super tense).. It is a 0.13 from the XL Nickel wound. Should I be worried for the low B pole about increased tension? Louis

I have had my Fodera for a couple months now. Love the sound palette more and more, as well the overall playability when tuned in E. However, considering it is a 33” MG5, I am still working on proper setup for the B setting (which I am looking to use more and more). Based on opinion for the...

Recording-question: Because recording live (aka with a mic) is out because too loud, I am looking for good alternatives for recording to a DAW (Ableton Live). What are your recommendations to maintain the punchiness of the sound? > DI box? Amp, like an aguilar 350, directly to a DAW? Let me...
