Club Sadowsky!!!

[ElMon]

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?

I used that mid switch ONLY when favoring the bridge pickup, for an Uber-Jaco tone.

That thing looks divine! Holy cow.

Thank you much! It plays and sounds even better than it looks!

WOW! NICE!!

Thank you!

Dude, you're going to be a Rock & Roll machine with that monster! So awesome, enjoy and rock it hard!

Thanks man! It’s hanging pretty well in Texas Country so far too!

Congratulations. I would like to pitch the name "Franklin," after nobody in particular. She just looks like a Franklin.

Haha, I’ll take “Franklin” into consideration!

Holy smokes! That's an EXCELLENT pickup configuration! Congratulations and enjoy.

Thank you! Yeah, this thing is CRAZY versatile!

Does this mean they are going to be for sale soon?

I’m not sure about that. As far as I know this was an experimental build but I’m sure if you call the shop they could advise you better than I could. I will have some videos of the Super P and Super J pickups in the next two to four weeks (I hope!), hopefully that’ll be of service for anyone interested in the Super P and Super J!

I'm going to go out on a limb, saying the pickups are ceramic.

Nice....I am glad the cup arrived in 1 piece. I already miss it! I only have 1 left.

Throw some bourbon in that thing. Lol

Having a birthday in July!

Hey what color is that Sadowsky in your profile picture? Looks like a satin series in charcoal or something. Very sweet.

 

[quindecima]

I'm not a big fan of Bourbon but I could mix up a Beautiful or some high end tequila

The one thing I really notice about my WL is with a Chorus, the Jaco bridge pick up tone is amazing, especially for an Ash/Maple fretted bass.

Is that handle in the 60s or 70s position?

Don't let Will Lee near it, he'll want to add something most of us wouldn't taste anyway.

He does possess a super power, though...

... the ability to see sheet music, from 15' away...

... while dancing... and wearing 20mm ply corduroy pants...

... I'll have what he's having.

 

[FunkSheep08]

Good for you — Looks awesome. So, how monumental of a birthday does it have to be to justify a new Sadowsky order?

My first was for my 40th....but I don't think I'm waiting another decade for my next order.

I did the same thing.
