In 2007, I was just getting back into playing and I went to Bass Club Chicago (a couple locations ago now). Mark had an SA200 on an Aguilar GS410, and I played a Lakland Skyline Dunn with a Dark Star through it. I still remember that tone. It was...beautiful.

Oh good heavens. Sadowsky Metro RV4-HPJ —> Duncan Studio Bass compressor —> SA200 —> Aguilar DB112s. Monster tone with panache. Not boomy, just huge. R&B love.

 

[pickles]

Yep SA200 is great with the Aguilar DB series.

 

[gillento]

I used to pair mine with either a Sadowsky SA410 or a Bergantino HS210.
Later I used a db212 by Aguilar, an THAT was it

Sweet rig!

 

[GregC]

Yes. Two used, two new.

May I ask where?

Sent you a PM.

I tried to cut off 1/6 bass and bottom
Boost 1/4 mid and high on the sa200 to bring that back. It's close.

We have built enough instruments now with roasted woods that we can confidently say that they are warmer sounding. So if I know that someone is looking for a Marcus Miller sound, I would not recommend roasted woods. On the other hand, roasted maple necks offer superior stability regarding humidity changes, so it offers great advantages for touring musicians and for those living in extreme weather climates. Roasted ash is unbelievably beautiful, as well as our master grade flame maple necks. It has simply become another option in our arsenal of options. More warmth, more stability, more stability, less highs.

Here’s the latest lockdown collaboration with Hands Off. The Sadowsky records so well!

Great video, Mark!

I was wondering if an NYC PJ5 could be converted to a P5/Soap Bar for a thicker bridge tone? Would a route for the soap bar be wide enough to cover the ears on the J pickup?

No problem to rout for our soapbar over a J rout.

My NYC with roasted BEM neck is def my favorite Sadowsky tone I’ve ever heard. Very complex. Plenty bright, but lots of vintage warmth at the same time. Really yin yang with the resonance that the chambered body produces. Would definitely go that direction again with any future builds.

 

[pickles]

Agree on roasted being warmer. I have a chambered alder, roasted maple, brazilian rosewood PJ5 that has an upright-like woody growl when I dig in along with a more shiny/clear/polite top than my other sadowskys that have more highmid/lower treble. Not better or worse just different. Sounds great in a mix like they all do.

Why nowadays roasted maple is so common and one years ago was ignored?

For those interested in a SA200, there is this:

It would require some pretty hefty financial and logistical work. However, I bet it sounds great.
