Club Sadowsky!!!

Not exactly...




I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night!

:hiding:

:D

I watched the Bodyguard at a Holiday Inn Express last night......


And he never said WHAT president.....could be the president of the Hair Club for Men.....not that I know anything about the Hair Club for Men.....no not me.....nope....nothing.....never heard of them.....who were we talking about again????
 
I did play the bass more last night and realized it is for sure a dead battery. At least I know that for lunch I'm gonna go pick up a couple. At first, the signal was just really weak, but the more I played it, the weaker the signal got and started distorting horribly. Whew!!!

Now I just gotta get the blue nickels on it. It has the blue SS, but this bass truly sings with nickels. Off to the Sadowsky store too!!!!

Don't forget the Batt-O-Meter!!

Ahhh, is there any noticeable functionality difference in the two types of retainers?

The new string retainer includes the A string.

If I had a dime for every time someone had buzzing on the open A string because they did not allow enough string wraps on the post to go all the way down to the bottom, I could have retired a long time ago.

Has anyone else struggled with pulling the trigger on a NYC due to the plethora or beautiful instruments. Everytime I think I see what I want it's either grabbed or something more beautiful has come along. Then there is the whole Will Lee or not to Will Lee question. I love the idea of the narrower neck as it will match a '71 width I had back in the day but I don't like the way the longer neck changes the pickup placement on the pick guard and moves the bridge further up the body. Decisions, decisions.

If you order a NYC, they can shave the neck to the Will Lee nut width for an upcharge ($200 if I recall). That is what I did on my NYC V4PJ.
