Club Sadowsky!!!

[Joebone]

Hello everybody,

I'm a little frenchy and I'm a proud owner of two wonderful Sadowsky's bass.


A- The first is a MV5 with Seymour Duncan Custom Shop 100% humcancelling pup's ((manufactured according to technical specifications of Roger).

The sound is amazing and she had a big growl in the bass (beetwen bass and low mid) when the UV60 growls in the mids (beetwen low mids and hight mids).


The sound :

B- The seconde one is a wonderful NYC UV60. This bass is MY bass. I have never been so comfortable (as in old slippers) with a bass.

The sound is incredible. She's an agressive bass when play solo but play in group, she passes through the mix like no other. I did a test with the members of my group. I only played my Fender 1976 and my UV60 and everyone said that the fender had the best sound. Then we play a song together with the Fender and with de UV60. Everyone has chosen the UV60 rather than Fender !!!

You understand that I am a happy bassist

A big thank you to Roger



For fun, my Fender 1976 (mint) :

PS : sorry for my bad english...

Killer photos - but just peeked at your website, and you are an excellent photographer - I've seen a lot of concert photos over the years, and yours are superb.

And while I don't like orange basses, I"m in love with your Sadowsky 4-string - what a beautiful fingerboard...

Chances are the repair guy did just buffed out the surface of the nitro finish and he didn't got to the bare wood so what you see is just the original color of the neck, before the sunlight and your own hands darkened a bit.
I wouldn't worry about it, in a few months you will barely notice it.

I think it is bare wood, but I could be wrong. Thanks for the advice guys.

Joebone,

Thank you for enjoying my photos

I love its color, the fingerboard is beautiful (brazilian rosewood) and the sound of this bass make being "something big" in my pants loool.

Nice Woods Man!

I love white basses, trans white included. You'd be surprised at how good an abalone pickguard looks with trans white. It really matches up with the wood grain colouring.

 

[Bass Man 94]

You right for the abalone pickguard, it's good looking

But I love the tortoise pickguard on my MV5.

They put pickguards on Sadowsky's? I have high "Standards" you know!

Even so, I still love my Sadowskys

Yes, I am a believer now.

I am the owner of 3 Warwicks, and I have a chance to test run this funky beast in my local dealer:

4 days were all it took for me to make my decision.

Wife was so impressed by the lighting of the room, she suggested this shot:

The bass was weighed using my bathroom scale, and registered 8.81 lb at the point of purchase. This, together with the tone palette produced by the preamp, propelled me to make the quick acquisition.

However, a chance to weigh myself today let me realized that the scale has been running out of battery for quite some time. So I popped in some new lithium cell. Guess what??
This bass weighs only........... 8.6 lbs! What a surprise, and a worthy investment made at first sight!

Thank you so much, Roger, for bringing the Metro basses to the bass playing world. I'm in love again

SO NICE !

Even after seeing that, I'll still play my Sadowsky.

Hey Gang,

Just wanted you give you all a heads up that I have my 1988 Sadowsky "SWR" for sale. Details in the classified section.

I would much rather sell it to a fellow TB'r than a stranger on eBay.

No offense, but this just seems like a bad idea... one you'll REALLY regret.

I thought it out good. It just does not get allot of use these days compared to my '72 Jazz or my '99 MM Sterling. It needs to be played rather than sitting in the closet.

Poor bass....

After playing the bass Gene charged the owner 5000 dollars because his hands graced the Sadowsky , making the bass worth twice as much. The sad reality is that some Kiss fans would probably pay more for this"one of a kind Sadowsky"!
