Nathan East is just about the nicest man you will ever met in the music business. A truly wonderful person and a great player.

As for the 6-string Sadowsky and all the Chinese stuff... I think our devout Sadowsky community will remain highly divided, albeit politely, as it pertains to NYC/MIJ vs MIG/MIC editions bearing the Sadowsky name. You do you, my brothers!

It's good to see Quintin Berry out! Incredible bassist!

I managed a Home Audio Store in Virginia Beach and keep my Bass on a Stand their. Use to noodle on down time

Quinton came in and asked if he could play it ('75 Precision)

When he picked it up to play in position you see in photo

I thought what the he'll then he played Wow: Didn't play it myself for a couple days very humbling experience

He was great personality we became aquaitinces and go see each other play when possible

I didn't even see the bass! Just keep wondering if that guy's mom knows he's snuck out of the house again when he's supposed to be taking a nap!

Does anyone know where all those beautiful MTD basses ended up? I saw that Fretspot, Fretnation and Slapstore grabbed some of them. The rest I could not make out in the photos.

Quite a few were claimed by shops in Japan. MTD is very popular around those parts especially with Bubby being out there!

It also came with a shot of bourbon!
