Club Sadowsky!!!

@MAJOR METAL have you seen the preowned page on the site? I think you should!!!

HAHAHA, that's actually one of my basses I have on consignment. Roger is building me a Vintage 24fret 5 string with 2 Nordstrand Big SplitMans that will be ready in April. With the addition of this J 5 I realized I would rather expand my Sadowsky sonic spectrum by having different pickups in each Sadowsky.

So question fellas,ok fellas question, I’d like a bit more punch coming out of my tone. I think My sound lacks punch and I was considering changing my pups can anyone recommend pups which have a good punchy tone. I have a one of the Tokyo made models which if I’m correct is the current Metro model. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I doubt very much that replacing Sadowsky pickups with something else would improve your tone or add punch. Play with the EQ. Maybe think about a compressor in your audio chain.

I use a Darkglass Compressor, I’m using a Sans Amp paradriver but on very low settings just to give it a bit of punch. It seems like I’m getting the tone to break up early and it distorts fairly easy.
