I'm having a little issue and I'm wondering if anyone could answer this question for me. I'm sure Roger can.

As you all know, Roger's basses are all setup with Volume, blend, VTC, treble/bass boost.

All of my old Fenders don't have the blend, its volume / volume.

So, I'm wondering if its possible for the center notch in the Sadowsky blend pot to not all be exactly the same. So on one bass it may favor the bridge a tinny bit more then on an other bass. or vice versa. Is that possible?

If its the case, it would mean that it would be very hard to compare two basses as the tone would be completely different because you think you are doing a perfect blend but your not.

Any thoughts?

I'm betting that there probably isn't more than 1-5% margin of difference in the blend pots. This could very well make a difference since it is so obvious when you slightly go to either side of the detent. This is phenomina that Ken brought up in a previous post that I never realized.

I'm thinking that you could throw a multimeter on each side of the pot to check and see if there is a difference in resistance.

You can request Vol, Vol, VTC, Treble/Bass

I can't see how that could be the reason since "I think" Roger still sell more 4 strings then 5 strings instruments.

It might be a little on the expensive side although it is a bargain over a brand new one.

As you know when you order you have to put a chunk of money up front. But you can count on having 6-8 months to scape together the remaining bucks.

I think that it's a sweet looking bass despite the coffee table top.

On the 4 string I also like the HCs better than singles. I swapped to Anqiquity IIs, my all time favorite, in my MS4 (best bass ever) and switched back. The 5 string HCs just don't sound quite right to me though ...

I also swapped HCs on a UV70-4 for Nordstrand Js and switched back. The 4 string HCs rock!

 

[Chasarms]

. . . The 5 string HCs just don't sound quite right . . .

In the interest of discussion, do you think the fiver PUs have a completely different sound, or are you just commenting on how the B string responds.

I am curious. I don't know a great deal about PU science, but I have wondered how you get the two coils to cancel hum when one is a three magnet coil and one is two.

If you ask how to display larger photos in your post - you need to store your photos on a web server (free service like picasa) and then link them from your post.
Cool basses!

If you do start using a hosting site like Photobucket, or whatever, also make sure the size of your pictures are reduced to roughly 600 by 500-800 or so before uploading and posting, so they fit in the standard post frame of TB.

Thank you for your help and I'm glad you like my creatures (I love them).

I really love the more "yellowish" color of the M5 on the left.

Beautiful basses! If you use that 'direct link', use the small picture icon (the square yellow icon above the posting area when you create a post) to imbed the link. This will result in the picture actually showing in the post versus having to clip on it.

Again, beautiful instruments! I dig the trans finish over ash.

me to......When I bought the M24f i thought it was the same color, but obviously is a color that Sadowsky no longer uses. The MS5 is 2 years older......
