Club Sadowsky!!!

[johndough247]

And if I may say so: I've never wanted a green bass until now...that combination with matching headstock is dead sexy!

I've been thinking of trying a new amp lately. I've been playing the Puma 500 for a while and before that the ToneHammer. I was curious as to what amps other Sadowsky guys are playing through. Feel free to post a pic!

Eden, ampeg, gk, aguilar, mesa.

Lately have been doing eden nav, wt1250, fearless f115. Lots of miles on mesa titan + gs412. Just got a db751 and its impressing me with the 412, no gigs yet though. Got great sounds out of a gs410 with alembic f1-x.

Sadowskys "go" with pretty much anything IME.

Sadowskys "go" with pretty much anything IME.

Yup.

My very favorite tone machine is the Reiner Amplification all-tube preamp with four-band inductive EQ. It's super-flat, and can go from super-clean to fuzzy. I usually pair it with another preamp (in this case a SansAmp VT Bass Rackmount) so I can kick in some modern overdrive for modern rock/metal.

Other preamps I own and like:
SansAmp RBI
SansAmp RPM
SWR Interstellar Overdrive
Ampeg (USA) SVP-Pro

Cabinets:
Bergantino HS210 (x2)
Bergantino CN112 (x2)
Bergantino NV610


My favorite cab is the Berg NV610!

The NV610 is perfect for my loud rock band, but overkill for many of my other gigs. On the other end of the scale, here's what I bring when gigging the upstairs bar at the local restaurant: Aguilar TH500 and single Berg CN112. It's plenty for that room!

Jason Aldean/Tully Kennedy on "Today" this morning...

 

[FunkyMcNasty]

Dang Fuzz, killer rigs!

 

[Chef]

I most often use a GK MBF800 and fEARFul 15/6/1.

 

[FunkyMcNasty]

The GK MBF500 is one that I've been considering as of late.

 

[Chef]

I love the MBF500 and I still have one.
The only reason I got the 800 is for higher 8 ohm power with the 8 ohm fF 15/6/1.

I'm still using my Ashdown rig. I find that it makes my HC pups sound too scooped at the moment, but I honestly play through it too seldom to really dial my sound in right.

 

[inazone]

Mesa Titan into a Mesa 610 or Aguilar DB810. For smaller stuff, Markbass tube 800 into Epifani UL410 s1.

Here's my Sadowsky with my Aguilar rig!

GB ShuttleMax 12.2 into various cabs:

Version 1.0 for rehearsals and small gigs: Aguilar SL112

Version 1.5: 2 x Aguilar SL112 for the bigger shows with PA support (sometimes with a venue-owned SWR Goliath 4x10 on the bottom):

Sold those cabs, version 2.0 should be here by end of next week: LDS 15/6/1 + 15 Sub

Overall I love the shuttle max; the amp has very little color to the tone so the character of my basses come through more. There's a warmth to the sadowsky's bass boost that I find is all I need in most instances.

In contrast, I also did a few shows on this rig but it wasn't very defined in the mids and highs, too much ampeg and not enough Sadowsky to the tone:
