The black looks very classy against that grain. But like someone pointed out already, black screws and black turners would have to be there. That would be perfect.

I'm not knocking pedals, but I'm old school. I've been playing in bands since 1969 when I was 14. I've never used a pedal, much less a board. A jazz bass through a tube amp pushing 4 15" Black Widows was my sound. As time went on, the amps got smaller. And now, I play through a DI box to the...

WTH? "What's all 'em knobs do?"

Best advice, yet.

1st: Have you checked out all the equipment for damage? 2nd: What did you say or do to the helper immediately following his boneheaded decision? 3rd: Have you spoken to management about his problem?

It's terrible to see such violent acts of lunacy and hatred like this. I'll be praying for all the victims and their families... I still feel like information is being held from the public but investigations do not happen overnight. This guy didn't just snap! It was too well-planned and I...

As a friend, you should be obligated to truthfulness. The same thing you just told us should be told to him in the same way. Calmly... Be empathetic. There may come a day when you are considered the "weak link" in the band. The idea of recording a few songs first for examples is a good one. The...

I own a Ken Smith. I've been a bassist for 45 years. Church is the only place I play now. I only played Fender Jazz basses for most of those years. You can get any tone you want out of a Smith...

My Ken Smith. Like slicing warm butter...

I couldn't help but notice in the tuning keys shot that the people who installed your hardwood floor should have discussed proper wood fitting techniques with Roger Sadowsky before going into business. :scowl: Other than that, nice looking bass. Sorry you can't keep it. I have an NYC and I...

MAN! My first bass guitar was a '71' Jazz that looked just like this one. I bought it new back then. I play a Sadowsky NYC now. Good luck with your sale.

Thanks Rob, I can hardly wait to get it! :hyper: Does this mean I get to join the Sadowsky Club now! :hyper:

Hi Rob, PM sent.

My band was playing at a college party here in the deep south. The drummer had a riser there to set up on. He was excited! Well about the third set, we were rocking pretty hard in the middle of a song and all of a sudden, NO DRUMS! We looked back and he had scooted off the back of the riser! I...

Man, when you want to sell that '71' Jazz, it would have a nice home here. My first bass was a '71' and I kick myself for selling it.

I had a 3-piece band for 10 years that always set up early, did a sound check and left. When we came back, we all walked in together dressed for the show, had three shots of Jose' Gold in the middle of the stage, then started rocking. Sometimes, people would send up a round of shots during the...

Hi guys, I've been playing bass for forty years now. I'm 53 years old and still playing. I've owned and worn out 2 Jazz basses before buying a Hamer Chapparal. It was lighter than a Jazz, but played and sounded the same. Now half the finish is gone from the maple neck and the mahogany is...
