    Sadowsky JJ pickups made by Nordstrand

    Yeah, it’s definitely more natural. I wound up with some older Fender AVRI pickups and the Emerson harness. I sounds like a great passive jazz bass now. Nuance, breathy and very musical. I loved the Sadowsky stock, well it got the upgraded preamp, for a year. I changed it because it felt a...

    Sadowsky JJ pickups made by Nordstrand

    I actually have removed the preamp and amgoing more traditional, Wmerson harness. I realize it’s removing part of the identity of what makes it a Sadowsky. For me the downsized body, 21 frets and incredible playability are what I love. I may even go singles but am a working player so am...

    Markbass basses

    I’d say they’re outstanding in the price range. I was looking for a 5 and playing all the 2-3k stuff and saw this marked down to $549 and was blown away. The things that are most notable are the resonance and playability. These are basswood, light weight and lively. This bass was nine pounds...

    Markbass basses

    I looked around and didn’t see anything on these. Feel free to share a link. I recently got a Markbass MP 5 something or other, the passive one. It’s a great bass, it was very affordable and been a joy. I changed some parts but it was good stock. Anyway, I see that some are made in Italy and...

    Double Bass Hungarian basses in general ?

    I can't beleive that bass only cost $5700 US. I'd sell a kidney for that but apparently I could actually afford it and could keep the kidney... Anyway I just read the entire thread and seeing it unfold was rather interesting. If you get tired of the bass let me know, I think I'm in love, PJ

    Double Bass Dawn Speaker Cabs

    I used to work in music retail and sold the dawn speakers. I really don't think they'd handle bass that well. They were designed as a small PA, kinda like a small bose home stereo unit with tiny high end speakers and a single sub. I did try them, this is about three years ago for bass and felt...
