Club Sadowsky!!!

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Totally loving this bass. Question for you guys:

How do they do the black blocks and bindings, is it painted or inlayed? What material is used.

The gap between the g string and the pickguard seems to be a few millimeters larger then on my other basses. Is that a spec on this particular model?

Thanks

Pete
I'd recommend you call the shop on this one, but please relay the answers back here! :)

Hi Peter,

The blocks are inlayed. The binding is real binding. They are both plastic.

Regarding the string clearance, what are you comparing it to? It is all a function of the depth of the neck pocket and the neck angle.

Got the vintage knobs from NOLA Bass (thanks again :cool:).
Here's a quick view. Color is very authentic except it looks almost solid yellowish-white while it's actually transparent white.

Excellent, glad they worked out for you! Nice bass!
 
Hi,

I'm curious if anyone here runs their sadowsky thru a compressor or any efx pedals while playing live? :)

I run mine though a Morley Optical Volume, Source Audio Bass Multiwave Distortion Pro, Dunlop 105Q bass wah, EBS octaver, Line 6 DL4... I think that is it for now. I have thought about putting a compressor somewhere in that chain, but I don't want to take away from my playing dynamics.

Why do you ask?
 
It's official I am now a proud owner of a new Sadowsky Will Lee model. For those of you who have been following my threads over the past two weeks I finally took my road trip to Bass Central in Orlando and purchased the Will Lee. I also played a few Metros. The big differences I noticed immediately was the weight. Will Lee 7.75 lbs the lower horn and the mid bump switch "WOW". Looking forward to playing it on my gigs this week. :hyper:
