What a terrific arrangement and performance. Everyone looked like they had a blast. Even the string players were smiling. Great vox.
Wonderful! Except for the sacrilege I observed at 6:39 .... really, HOW could you put a F-Bass strap on that Sadowsky?
Yeah, I know...they are comfortable! Nice job!

Finally have something to share with the group again......
So, two weeks ago I picked up a 62' Pbass:
And when I gigged it with the band, I realized a few things:
1) An Alder/RW Pbass with flats just sounds SO right with my band/style.
2) Pre-CBS Fenders have MASSIVE low end that my Modulus Oteil 6 w/Sadowsky Pre could never hope to match
3) Though my ash/maple PJ5, seen below, is an amazing bass in every which way, I won't be complete as a person until I again own an alder/brazilian rosewood.
As it turns out, there's a local guy who I"ve known for years who is, through my own direction/gear-corruption, coming to appreciate hi-end gear. When his band was touring 150+ shows a year, I convinced him to try an Aguilar rig and voila he's an endorser. Similarly, he's now got that special-sleep-loss-inducing kind of GAS that is Sadowsky Lust, and is VERY interested in taking my PJ5 off my hands if I sell it......which I'm going to to make room for this baby...........

The EXACT specs that I wanted a few years back before they offered the anodized gold guard!!! I'll be out of town the rest of this week, but the middle of next week she'll be ALL MINE!!!

Very cool ElMon.
I'd be really interested to hear your comparison of the '62 vs. the Alder/Braz.Rosewood Sadowsky with the P pickup solo'd.
NICE!
That means I better call Kevin NOW!
And here I thought I'd have to watch out for KJung and his new and shocking taste for Pbasses, as evidenced by the Nordstrand P5!!!! Now YOU TOO!!!!!
Oh believe me that's the FIRST thing I'll be doing!!!
I would like to hear the comparison as well. I have an Alder/Brazilian RW P/J 5 but am wanting an old P bass.
LOL, truth is, I've already done my stint with an amazing NYC alder/brazilian PJ5 and it's just not for me, so trust me, you're very safe. In my case, the magic is in the ash/maple, and I got off lucky in that I found all the magic I need in a Metro and saved some bux at the same time.

Ahh...but my NYC PJ/5 looks so nice.
Dang man, that's just MEAN, man, just MEAN...
Wait, lemme have a look at 5249... ahhh, better now.
That looks amazing. I love the bursts as we all know. And I think I'm extracting that you intend to put flats on it. That should sound great!Just got a pic o' paint. Thanks Kevin.

LOL, lessee, tag line, picture info... yeah, the hints are pretty strong...
Oh, seriously tho, which set?

Bin playing D' Addario chromes 105-50 forever. Will get it set up for those & try the Sad SBF 45 set later. I REALLY like the feel of my go to flats but as you know they're gonna have to couple well to stay on the bass.
Thanks for askin' bro.
