Finally got to try, I mean BUY, a Sadowsky!!

I have the same bass in the 5-string version....you're going to absolutely LOVE this bass

Whoa now!! That's crazy talk!! Well, maybe not that crazy. I've had short-lived thoughts about maybe selling one or two of my five Carvins to finance the Sadowsky but I just can't bring myself to do it.

OK, I'll take the koa one.

Seriously, I'm sure you'll still want to play your Carvins. They are great instruments and maybe cover some sonic territory the Sadowsky doesn't.

Question: I've never had the pleasure of trying a Sadowsky. I'm wondering how the playability is compared to your Carvins?

It was getting so bad that I was starting to have trouble focusing on my new job. I figured I better just buy the thing before I get myself fired LOL!!

I got a laugh out of that! I think some of us have been there. Instead of thinking about sex during boring meetings we're thinking about that next bass.

That would be one of the toughest one to part with.

I'm still very much getting used to the preamp. I took her out to a gig Thursday night and between the Sadowsky and the new amp I was running it through (Carvin B800/Berg HT/EX112), it took me half the gig to figure out what the hell I was doing LOL. Maybe I should only bring out one new peice of equipment at a time?

The playability is just awesome. For years I could not find a bass that felt as good in my hands as a Carvin, but for me the Sadowsky was an instant hit. The real test was the gig though. After playing on 24 fret necks for over 4 years, I was a little nervous going to a 21 fret without much time on it. I was thinking everything would feel out of place but the adjustment couldn't have been smoother. I really can't wait to bring it out again, maybe even tonight.

You know, I'm not sure I've ever heard of Kinal until now. Nevertheless, congrats to you as well. I just did a quick search for the website and they look pretty sharp. I'll be watching for your pictures and comments on it after it arrives.

I recieved the Kinal a couple of days ago. It's beautiful but the neck is quite wide so I think I'm going to return it. If you want to hear more about Kinal, PM me.
