Club Sadowsky!!!

Fran:
awesome, have fun!

thanks! We are having a lot of fun. Being able to play live in the studio is a luxury for us. The tracks we have already recorded sound and feel much better than the previous album.

Regarding the bass, on our last studio album I just set the balance pot to the middle with the exception of maybe one song where I favored the P pickup and that was it.

This time I have been trying lots of different pickup/eq/VTC combinations with IMO fantastic results. I could have played better but I can't be happier with the tones. :)
 
My band is back in the studio for the recording of our second album, we are almost done with the basic tracks and all I can say is that I love the tones I got from my Sadowsky. A few shots:

Nice!!!:bassist::bassist::bassist:
 
Ok, I'm gonna' do my usual thing here of offering up to the club before I post the forsale ad.

I have decided to let my Metro PJ5 go and stick strictly to J's in the Sadowsky line. I'm going to check it over, but I'm pretty sure it's still in mint condition except MAYBE some swirls on the pickguard (because I have played it, but I don't slap much).

It's also on the light side for a Metro, I believe right at 9 pounds. I love this bass, but I HAVE to trim the stable a little, and every time I pick up a PJ, I always basically go back to my JJ, so it's going up on the block. I guarantee whomever picks this bass up will be happy they did.

Original link, yes, I purchased the tort guard and had it installed before it was shipped to me, so I don't have the white guard.

Preliminary refresher pic... I'll come up with a price in a bit.
