Club Sadowsky!!!

Thank you so much.

To answer your question, yes, they use stage rigs there, and in my case, I was borrowing Cory's (TB:Saluki) Bergantino AE410, driving it with my Markbass F1. But there's also a full PA with subs, so a DI line was also being used. I do play in another church, however, which is smaller, but the same kind of very progressive/contemporary theme, and they do use strictly IEM's/DI on stage (though still a full PA with subs for the FOH). That church uses an Aviom system for stage monitoring, and I have some dual and also now some triple driver IEM's I use there. Oh, and the Sadowsky sounds phenomenal through those, too. :D

Ya I used to play at the church Vic plays at with the IEM's, but then I moved and had to find a new church. While the IEMs were nice, I totally love the bigger stage where we can run our full rigs with PA support. I leave my AE410 at the church and just bring my M6 when I play. There are typically two guitar players each using Marshall 4x12 cabs and 100 watt heads and pretty loud stage volume. Vic was playing with a single electric guitar player with a Bogner tube amp, which can also get loud.
 
Well, I think that's gonna' be a little bit of a logistical problem. That bass has the universal route, and he's wanting to switch to the traditional P config, and I think he's already ordered his replacement guard. Otherwise, he'd have to order yet another one to keep the same color but switch the P.

This is true. Every time I play the bass it affirms for me that I want to change it. I agree that the reverse pu config does change the response of the PUs on the B & E, but in my case, I think it is too much so. I am fine with the B, but the E is noticably choked and a bit thin to my ear. While the D and G sound great, they also seem to overpower the lower strings slightly. I think reversing the PUs will address these issues.

I'd go ahead and do it, but the holes for the screws have never been drilled. I need the new PG to make sure they end up in the right place.

It's funny what was posted about the current PG. It has really grown on me since I ordered the tort. If the tort looks bad and the standard config sounds better, I will just order another guard. Having the the extra is never a bad thng should I want or need to pass the bass along to another.

Another thing that is nice about the universal route is that it will accomodate a J PU also. Maybe I should have a guard made for that config as well. Can you buy just the neck J PU from Sadowsky?
 
I like the tort with the cherry burst. The one I picked up from mophead had the white installed when built and someone had the tort made. Here is the pic with the tort for all you naysayers:)

I revised the pix to bigger.
Looks like the one I ordered "is a little tint-ier" than yours vic.

I should match my ole 72P pretty well...

I've had that one for a while, I hope this one sticks around that long!

A few clips. Stage mix was rough, but I understand FoH was much better....soon to be confirmed or denied via youtube. M-Audio Microtrack 24/96 on my music stand. 24/96 wav > 320kbps mp3.
