Something tells me that #54 is going to take longer to fill up than #53 did :D lol

The guys at Sadowsky sent me the pics of my finished bass body and told me the whole bass would likely be done ahead of schedule, so rather than keeping up on my TB threads I've been sitting in a dark corner and vibrating in anticipation.

I'm afraid this is going to make me not kidding about someday trading up my 5502 for a 5594...
 
Yea I hear ya...
Other things on my mind lately too.
Hey, congrats on the new Sadowsky on the way! SWEET! :D

I put my Lakland G.A.S. on a back burner.
Thinking if I want to sell my entire GK rig and one bass and ten invest that $$ into a brand new Mesa rig?
Maybe a Mesa M9 Carbine head and a Mesa PH610 cab?
So one of my recently acquired US Laklands might be hitting the block up for grabs shortly?
Wonder which one?
hmmmm? :)

Doing this right...
I for sure will put this on cruise control for awhile after this last one comes in in a few weeks.

What are the big differences between the GK and the Mesa? I'm an Ashdown guy, but I'll admit that, since money's always an issue ( example: Sadowsky = 6 years of serious saving ), I haven't had the chance to experiment all that much.

Do you find that certain rigs sound better with specific basses, or is it a more general taste thing?
 
Universal dibs? ***?!?! Ok, can I have universal sloppy seconds? Really only interested in the DJ & HB.

hahah I know, right?
Yep, agreed to Dib's on whatever I might let go of down the road.
Sure, "universal sloppy seconds" it is :)
Though seriously doubt the DJ will be let go of.
And the HB with Dstars is a lifer.
That HB is a huge find and will be with me for life. ( I Think? ) LMAO!! :hiding:

Not really 100% sure?
I have used a bunch of various heads and cabs over time.
Just on the eternal search for a tone they blows me away.
I like the idea of Mesa.
Just always respected that brand.
So thought maybe roll the dice and give it a rip.

Problem with rigs, ya cannot easily flip them if ya do not like them.
With basses ya can sell them to buyers all around the country and world. Normally can get your investment back quickly on mint basses if ya do not decide to keep it.
With heavy amps and cabs you are more or less restricted to local buyers. Makes it much harder and slower to flip things that do not float yer boat.
 
So... thanks to a tax return.. this just happened..... (Happy Valentine's Day to me)

The only mod I wanted

Now it truly is a "Custom 55-01"
