. . . very happy that MikeBass was able to snag my Vintage 5 - it is a great bass. Really dug those single coils. So much so that I'm thinking of trying a set in my NYC 4.

Glad that bass found a new home. It is a VERY nice bass. I never warmed to the SC JJ, but it was no doubt a sweetie.

As far as strings, I have decided to start out on the Modern with my old stand by, the DM SR2000. I have always loved them and always go back to them. I ordered a couple of sets this morning. I had a set of SS Blues 45s that were actually mostly new that I took off one of the NYC Sadowskys I had before. I put them on the Modern last night for experiments sake. That bass didn't react that well to them, IMO. I think it really is crying out for a lighter, brighter string. So, I am looking forward to the SR2000s getting here.

I'm leaving the Blues on the PJ. It's warming up to me by the moment. I played it for a while longer last night even after my post. Would I trade it for my old NYC reverse ash/maple? Probably, but the reversed PU on the old one really gave it a character somewhere in the middle of the two Sadowskys I have now. With these two, I kind of like the contrast. If I want modern, no doubt I have it. This PJ is a little more classic, which is great. When I want it, I have it.

I'm gonna' echo something Ken's said many times in the past (which I agree with)... I think the older Black SS's work better on the Modern/24-Fret 5's.

I think the Blacks have a little bit more going on in the low treble/gank region where those Moderns are a bit scooped out. I don't think the Blues do as well in that area, which I think makes them great for the J/PJ models, especially the ash/maple ones, but not as good as the Blacks for the Moderns. I'll be very interested to hear your thoughts on the SR2000's, tho... I REALLY like those strings on some of my other basses!

today is the first time I have been able to look at this on my big screen. (Been TBing on the iPhone)

Wow! That is a VERY atttactive slab o' lumber!!

It's not attached to one of my more favored of RS's offerings, but amazing nonetheless.

Anyone plays with Genz Benz amp? I have a GB 6.0 coming and just wanting some insights.. :)

awesome amp......
Put about 150 gigs alone (not including rehearsals) on my 6.0 without a hiccup.
Have at least 300 on my 9.0.
(sold my 6.0 to get my 9.0 BTW).

Go easy on the boost buttons.
The low end boost combined with the bass control on the Sadowsky pre-amp.....you would shoot the cones of your speakers through the grill of our cab and make confetti.....VERY easily.

Ok, all I need now is a Wishbass, a really powerful trebuchet, and the coordinates for the back of your head. Even from this far away, the hollow wooden sound, as that Wishbass found its mark, would be very satisfying. That would make that bass a jackwagon tranquilizer. :D

Just be sure to look up as you walk in and out of any doors....I'd hate to have a Dr.Bass 410 fall on you.
