Should I just cut the c@#$ and get a Sadowsky?

Hi,

I've been on the search for my sound. Now, I've chopped and changed pickups, preamps, bought new basses, etc.

I got a Fender 50's precision (Mexican made) last year and it sounded great. However, it still didn't quite please me.

Now, I think I wanna give in to a long urge of mine - get a Sadowsky.

Am I wrong in thinking that its one of the best spunds out there?

I will be playing a lot of music, a variety of styles and I happen to see that people from a wide range of ranges play Sadowsky.

One example I can give is of Will Lee. The guy does a variety of gigs and I like the way he fits in with every band he plays.

I know he has a signature bass out, but that's kinda out of my budget. So, I'm thinking I'll go in for a simple 5 string Maple/Ash Metro.

What do you think? Is this a good idea?

Wrong according to who, dude? Us? You shouldn't even care if we think your crave for a Sadowsky is "wrong". It's your playing, it's your passion. Get whatever you think will please you, whatever speaks to you and make you pick the bass and play.

And, I will sound very clichéd around here, but do yourself a favor and try plenty of Sadowskys before you buy one; you don't wanna be stuck with a lemon for your very first Sadowsky right? Besides, you might get the best bass you can find with a little search.

Good luck, and I hope you'll enjoy your new bass.
