Club Sadowsky!!!

LOL! Believe that at your peril! Just because a product is not offered for sale anymore does not meant that it cannot induce GAS. Trust me on that one. :smug:
I also don't have any direct exposure to such a rig, since nobody around here has one, so DOUBLE HAH! Do your worst with your pictures, you fiend, I can handle it! :D
 
Way to talk yourself out of it. :D But, you know you want it!

It's just not the right color. It's just not the right color. It's just not the right color...how many times do I have to say that before I really believe it?

Actually, if I found a used lefty Sadowsky, I probably couldn't help myself. But I could never buy a new one. Which model to order? 4 string, 5 string, vintage, modern, WL4? I want them all! So many choices...so little funds...:crying:
 
Here's my new Will Lee. I will get it next week and I can't wait.

The RV-5 PJ showed up yesterday. Played it last night.

Sick.

I've never owned a p-bass so it'll take some messing around to learn the tones. One thing that I'm really amazed at is how much a little knob twisting changes things up. It does not really get a classic "JJ" tone, but it is fat and woody as all get out. Have a gig tonight, that will be the real test. I'm thinking that pan just a tad towards the bridge with a little bass and treble add will give me what I'm hearing in my head. Well, besides the voices...

Already trying to decide between MV5 or NYC JJ maple 5 as a companion :p. Pics later, need coffee now.

Congrats!! Now you gotta get some sleep, then post some pics of it! Well, actually make that the other way around. Post some pics, then go get some sleep.:D
 
Really nice Johnny!

Too bad you live so far south. I'd like to check that bass out. But then again the last thing that I need is GAS for a WL. :help:

It will be bad enough when Bart gets his WL in several months.

Well If you ever come to Ashland, let me know. I always enjoy watching someone try a new Sadowsky. It sounds like "Oh my god..... jesus......... I love this thing.....This is sick............. Ahhhh.......So... How much do you want for this bass again........Sorry its not for sale........ Come on, I can't live without it now.

Nice. Yeah, I just played my Metro ash/maple PJ5 last night and it ruled. Like you said, don't look for a JJ sound out of it, but it sounds awesome and yeah, you definitely don't need to come close to solo'ing a pickup to really alter tone. In my case, I would probably rarely solo the bridge pickup, BUT, solo'ing the that wonderful NP5 is just a GOOD idea... especially for classic tunes. Last night it was all about classic rock (deep purple, Gov't Mule, etc) and blues (Muddy Watters, BB King, ZZ top, etc.). Perfect fit... both blended and P solo'd.
