Club Sadowsky!!!

[BluesyCat]

I finally got my new black pearl pickguard in from the shop. After some drilling and filing and shaving and cutting my fingers to pieces with shielding tape I got it on.
I'm always glad to spend money on stuff from Roger's shop; it's always worth it.

Niice! I like it!

Anyone have a problem with certain cables not making
a good connection in the input of your Sadowsky? A
D'Addario cable was making noise when I jiggled it
on a gig. I replaced it with a Monster cable and problem
gone. Is it a size thing?

Size shouldn't matter.

If its an L jack Planet Waves its not a perfect fit..length wise. Had the same problem...no issue with straight pins and L jacks from Sadowsky and Zaolla.

Hmmm, I use planet waves pro series right angle cords and never had an issue with them. As long as you insert the cord all the way in, they are solid and noise free. IME

There's a punch line in there somewhere!

I noticed this with a Fender cable, and very occasionally with an inexpensive cable I got from a local store. I still use the latter for home rehearsal because problems happen so infrequently.

That said, I've never had a problem when using my favorite cables, a Mogami and a ProCo.

It's possible that the problems only happened with my well-used 2005, and not my newer 2010 Sadowskys, but I'm not certain. I no longer have the Fender so I can't doublecheck with that one.

The barrel of a Monster cable plug is slightly oversized - that is one of the MANY reasons I refuse to use them.

I can't say it was totally unintended.

Well, my new bass is ready to ship. I'd asked for a non-chambered body and mentioned that my ideal weight for a bass is around 9 lbs. The guys at the shop couldn't have gotten much closer.

Very Cool! Congratulations.

Man, that's sweet.

 

[Joeykun]

Very cool indeed! A roasted neck would look great with this combo as well. Great Standard 5, enjoy!

Just a little praise for Sadowsky's customer service. I bought a beautiful NYC from the in stock page. Loved the bass but I had a minor nit to pick about the feel of the pan pot. Emailed Roger...bam!...new pan pot in the mail along with an offer to have my tech bill him for the installation. That's the way you do business!!++

P.S. Preparing to change my avatar. Guess to what!

Best customer service in the business, bar none. Cant say it enough. Roger and the crew aim to please.
