Love/hate when Roger does this... LOL!
Still tho... SO nice to have SO many Sadowsky options these days, and you'd be amazed at how "enabling" 10-15% can be when someone is on the fence and just shy of the money for the next level. Dreams can come true.
I can't tell, is this stock instruments or new builds as well?

I’ll clarify on the homepage. It’s for existing instruments.
Ohhh mannnnnn. I really want an SS or LS-15, Tobacco Burst.

Initiated another custom order this month. A monumental birthday for me this year, so it seemed appropriate...
Basically, my 4-21 specs...
...in a 5-21 PJ, roasted ash body, roasted neck, 1-3/4” nut, ebony fb. Here’s the Koa top:
...and now, the w-a-a-a-i-i-t. Hmmm, my birthday is in July...maybe I should’ve initiated this a few months earlier...

Good for you — Looks awesome. So, how monumental of a birthday does it have to be to justify a new Sadowsky order?Initiated another custom order this month. A monumental birthday for me this year, so it seemed appropriate...

Having a birthday in July!

Same reasoning I'm using to do another build. This quote gives me some standing when the woman says.. "another one??".
Yes dear. See above. I was born in July.
That’s a very impressive top!Initiated another custom order this month. A monumental birthday for me this year, so it seemed appropriate...

I went with the... “one bass in the stable for each decade” rationale...actually an easy “sales pitch” this time around......So, how monumental of a birthday does it have to be to justify a new Sadowsky order?
Yikes, I can’t use the one per decade argument as it will work against me — I’d have to sell some basses!I went with the... “one bass in the stable for each decade” rationale...actually an easy “sales pitch” this time around.
A question for WL players:
I mostly play fingerstyle on my gigs, but slap for solos and some fills here and there. I found that in practice I rarely used the mid boost, because after I dialed in a tone with good midrange definition for fingerstyle there wasn't much need to turn the mid boost on. For tone variation during shows I wound up using the VTC a lot, the EQ somewhat less, the blend less than that, and the mid boost almost never.
So...maybe I'm the last person in the world to think of this, but it dawned on me that for my purposes it might be more useful to think of that little toggle switch as a "slap switch." IOW, dial in the fingerstyle tone with the switch on, and then turn it off to get a scooped tone for the slapped passages.
Been playing around with that lately. Seems to have potential; been fiddling with the DIP switch and trimmer pots.
Anybody else with a WL done this?
