That wii be amazing !I'm really into this color lately! Can hardly wait to see the final build!
I reset Safari - same results except now I have lost all my top sites and saved passwords. Oh Roger, what did you do when you got the forum back up?
Yeah, once I turned off the wi-fi, my Verizon wireless kicked in and then I could see the website again on my iPhone. I've got Cox Communication cable service at home.
To be clear - resetting Safari like I did caused the loss of save pswds and top sites. My point was that is suppose to clear cache as well but made no difference accessing the Sadowsky site.
I have not tried flats on my Sadowsky P Bass yet , I have them on my old fender P but am going to throw some on soon when I get my new Jaguar 200 all tube bass head . I have tried it for the last 2 years at NAMM and really dig it and have decided to go with it. Tube heads seem like they are making a comeback , wish Roger would bring his back . That amp was seriously the best sounding bass head I ever played thru , maybe he will , who knows .
AHA! But, it did not solve the problem. It did clear the cache tho!

Sure seems like somebody could step in here and put up a hosted community forum site for all of these private manufacturers, guitar, bass, whatever. It would be a great resource for players that could be easily funded by the manufacturers via membership fees (so they "make the rules") without turning roger sadowsky et al into webmasters. I don't have anywhere near the kind of time it would take, but seems pretty trivial for the fine owners of talkbass.com. Get a new domain if you want to keep talkbass.com "pure bass". I'd move all the sponsored forums to that new domain as well.

I'd probably still say the same thing....Orange Bomber>WW>Berg...yep; that's gonna be snappy
I know my bass/strings/amp/settings probably makes it seem like I'm a "sizzler," I'm totally not.
I have really fat sounding fingers for some reason, as you alluded to in your post, and if I ran "dark" gear, it'd be too much dark on dark, for me.
Vic ends up about the same way as be: you'd "read" his tone as pretty bright by his gear/etc choices, but, his band demo tones aren't super snappy like that either.
Yeah: you need a Sadowsky P. Toooootally.
Lastly:
this whole discussion is maybe a great example of "you can read and read and read, and you're still not really gonna know what "Gear Bit X" is gonna do til you get it in your personal hands; cause a lot of it really does come from your hands.
True, true. My own finger sound is kind of on the bright side, so on both my Sadowsky P/J5/24 and Metro 5/24 with Big Singles, I often have the VTC dialed down by about 70%, and I play a lot in passive mode, esp. with the P/J.
One general P/J observation - I have mine set up V/V instead of V/Pan, which I think provides many more happening tone opportunities. I sometimes regret it when looking to step the volume up or down quickly, but really like the control I get over the tonal blend. For both basses, I tend to keep both volumes dialed down 10-15%, and boost one or the other depending on the precise tone I seek or if I'm stepping the volume up for soloing. The sound of the big singles, each stepped back 10-15% and in passive, with the VTC 60-70% down, is pure heaven for me and the stuff I generally do. Ditto with the P/J.
One other general P/J observation - the soloed J never seems to deliver all one wants, and I've found this with a LOT of P/J hookups, over many years. I'm guessing its simply a question of J volume relative to the big chunk of P. I think the V/V approach provides some ability to deal with that, but I won't lie - as cool as my P/J is in many ways, I can't get the degree of "burp" I want....this, of course, is something the Big Singles, in modern position, can deliver like crazy.
Otherwise, just a general shoutout for the Sadowsky product. I keep Sadowsky flats on the P/J, R. Cocco nickels on the modern, and between these axes, I feel like all fretted needs are well-covered.
The main issue with running a forum is not in setting it up and turning it on... it's the vigilance of fighting the porn/malware link spammers that attack forums as easy prey to put their links out there. Depending on the technology used for the forum, it can really be a huge PIA because there's a lot of sophisticated auto-bot functionality out there that is easy to run, and difficult to block.
The Internet is a hostile place. Never forget that.

I'm not seeing Armadillos, Unicorns, Rainbows, or the Sadowsky website!
(not sure I want to see those armadillos. 
)
It'll be back.I'm not seeing Armadillos, Unicorns, Rainbows, or the Sadowsky website!
Thanks... it's my first (2005) and still the most dear to my heart. Maybe it's the maple board, or the fact that it was my #1 gig bass for five straight years before I expanded my Sadowsky collection (after which it went into rotation).
Getting back to P-bass tones for a moment, this video (featuring Blackie) captures my hard rock tone pretty well: gnarly!
