    Club Sadowsky!!!

    Mr. Sadowsky - thank you for answering my question on the necks in the latest YouTube video () about ~5:00 minutes in. The reason I was asking though (maybe its an error in the manual?) is that for my 2023 Metroline, in the 'Neck Care' section of the manual it says: "You can wipe all necks...

    Ampeg SGT-DI

    Hey all. Just got mine the other day and am (mostly) loving it. But i have a question for others who have had a bit more time with the pedal. I have only used this with headphones so far and I can get some really great sounds out of the pre-amp and SGT drive circuits. But do the cab sims sound...

    Club Sadowsky!!!

    NBD!!! Vintage J/J 4 String MetroLine that I got two days ago via Sweetwater. First new bass in 14 years. Also first truly high-end instrument as my others are an MIJ Fender Aerodyne and a Silverburst Ray34 (both of which I still love). But this thing is on another level. 'Nirvana' Black Satin...

    Got my first GK head yesterday (700RBII content!)

    I also have a 700RB-II and i opted to get the Neo212 in the 4ohms version so it could accept all the power the head has to offer. 500W cab with 50W horn is accepting ALL the 480W(50W horn) signal from the head nicely.:cool: have never heard of anyone else with a 4ohms Neo212 btw. Anyone else...

    Club Sadowsky!!!

    Ive played my share of mid range and high end basses. I tend to usually float around quality mid ranges because whenever I try and play the high end equivalent o a mid range bass (MIJ compared to MIA fender for example) I could never feel a difference that justified an additional 700 dollars...

    How a stingray would handle BEAD

    its actually a Ray34! Thought id get more insight by saying stingray at first (as you may know some people are oddly biased towards mid level instruments) do those have compensated nuts? can't find any info on it anywhere..:hmm:

    How a stingray would handle BEAD

    Hey guys, so I'm planning on stringing my stingray B-E-A-D (would love to get a 5 string ray but don't have the money:( ) and was just wondering how you all think a ray would handle it. Would the 34' scale matter? Would the B sound good? any input would be greatly appreciated as I have no...

    Johnny Christ's Tone

    the only real way to get that tone is with a music man, GK amp, and some overdrive sorry man. The end of blinded in chains (which is awesome) is actually an 8 string bass with a chorus effect so that would be even harder to emulate

    GK 700RBII Total Power Question??

    i personally bought my Neo 212 in a 4ohm version so it gets the full 480+50 form the head so yeah theres always that option

    Overdrive?

    VT bass still gives me the best sounding overdrive I've heard so far. and I also play a Ray and P and J through a GK

    GK 700RBII users, share your favorite settings.

    usually keep the EQ relatively flat. but boost at about 1 o clock, contour at 5 o clock always presence at 2 o clock. volume knob anywhere where it doesn't clip (usually around 10 o clock) master and tweet to set real volume

    Club Sadowsky!!!

    hey all i had a few questions about sadowskys and i figured here would be the best place to ask them What other brand would you say sadowskys play/feel like (fenders, EBMM, ibanez etc.) And since these basses are all privately made, how would you go about 'trying' a sadowsky to see if...
