Club Sadowsky!!!

I've called on several basses that are/were listed on their website only to be told that the bass was sold. Not sure about now but it seemed that the website was just for historical reference of basses that they had in some period of time.

So most likely that WL is already gone.

That must be the case, my bass is still showing on their web site and I've had it for almost 3 months now....

This is pretty standard for Bass Central. They even finally put some verbage on their main page that states something about keeping listings up to show examples of what they can get blah blah blah.
 
Kinda off the subject of the P - PJ thing here but.......

After the Rangers beat the Yanks last night I switched over to Leno
just in time to catch Ricky rippin' it up on a hot Blue Standard 4 with maple neck!!

Couldn't find any pics of him playing it but he was slappin' up a storm and it sounded great!!! :bassist:

I saw him playing a burst as well. Wish he'd line 'em all up on stage.

Anyone luck enough to get their hands on the Will Lee 5 at the showroom?

yup!

they have two. one's a good ol' ash/maple/59burst as a demo, and when i got there, they had finished a morado/ash/59burst/tortoise one.

just love the way it looks. sadowskies were already super sleek looking compared to the ol' chunky fenders. but the will lee takes it to another level and is like a sports coupe version of the sad 5'er line. the way the smaller width neck blends into the equally sleeker body makes for a really cool look. just terrific looking and apportioned design.

the smaller nut width did taking a little getting used to. but if you've tried a music man stingray 5'er, you'll find it rather similar. the action was much higher than what i play, but i could tell it'd be a super sleek feeling play.

admittedly, was the first time i've tried the midboost switch and frankly, i'm sooo used to the regular sadowsky sound, at first, the tones were a little too burpy to my ears. but the more i played and listened, the more i realized, i'd probably still mess w/ the settings. ;) but that extra kick did make for an ridiculously punchy low B string!

overall, nothing that'd make me say no, and lot of things that made me say yes.
