Thx. Wrists are fine now. It's just that I injured my wrists sooo much when I was a kid that they get weak a little too easily now.
Dying to finsh the new cd art and get back to playin'!
Get used to it...I got a guitar playing friend who refuses to play with me if I don't bring my Sadowsky...
Truth ( I just had to say that )
It has been a long and interesting road since I last posted claiming I was soon to be a Sadowskyite. Anyway after I learned a hard lesson about buying used I picked up this new Metro HPJ about three months ago from Bass San Diego. Bass San Diego had nothing to do with my used bass fiasco. I couldn't be happier with the bass and with how good the guys at Bass San Diego are to deal with.
Here is a picture form the web site:

and with my band last Saturday night, as you can see it was a slow night at Hidden Harbor Marina. Might be a reason for the name or it could be because it is December at a marina in Minnesota! Love the mirror image of the back of the neck in the TV screen.
Just can't say enough about how much I love the Sadowsky HPJ my Fender P-Bass's have been pretty much idle since this one arrived. I really like the wood grain and the body vibrates to beat heck when plucked and sounds so good. Can I have a number please.

I remember seeing your instrument at Bass San Diego last summer, thought it was a nice looking bass and that someone was going to be happy with it eventually. Nice rig too, also use a Berg AE212. Great rig. Congrats!

Anybody have any experience with the Sadowsky Original P, the one that looks like an early-1950s P-bass? There's an amazing one on the Sadowsky site right now. I love an old-school P, and I'm sure the Lollar single coil sounds amazing, but I'm also kind of afraid of being limited by that single pickup (and I'm wondering if it's noisy at all). I'm guessing the preamp makes up for it, but does anybody here know first-hand what they sound like?

Beautiful Bass!!!Here is a picture form the web site:
Love the PJ set up.. Like my old '64 P that I installed a Jazz pickup in. I've been wanting to try out the Sadowsky basses but the closest store is a few hundred miles away.. sheeees... bummed to find out they won't be at NAMM this year either since I'm going.. darn.. May try to detour to Bass San Diego. If anyone has any ideas of another shop let me know.. I'll be heading to NAMM from Albuquerque..
thanks
