I very much appreciate your testimony for Him.adrian garcia said:

That bass was a couple of years in the making! Talking Roger into it and then finding the "right" top was an adventure.
It was well worth the wait.

I was just cruising through looking at the pictures when I saw this. I think you should definitely get up and play, man. I'm not even Christian, but I think we all know how when you get into the groove it can be an extremely...'spiritual' feeling. Just imagine that combined with your regular worship, as well as your daughter singing. Powerful stuff.soniq said:
Plus it's just good to play wherever they'll let you.

That looks AMAZING. Who made it, what wood is the body and what wood is the fretboard?

drgregn said:here's my rotation: Sadowsky RV5, Sadowsky MV5, Limited Edition Stingray 5 (HS pickup configuration), Skjold Pro 6, and a Nordstrand NX6 (currently in progress - ETA about 2-3 weeks!!!)
plus a Dingwall Prima 5'er... no pic yet.
I'm blessed with gear if not necessarily talent...
Dude, you have very low action on your basses..
I've never seen a Sadowsky first hand, only through the photos..
And don't remember seeing their action so low.
The lowest I've got any of my Jazz basses to was 1mm on the G string.
And like most basses, the action increases towards the lower strings.
And that was a rare thing. Even my Laklands are 1.5 - 2mm.
Yours seems like they're barely over the frets!
Were they detuned/lowered in the photos?
Or are all Sadowskys and Skjolds like that..

Those are some nice ones guys.
No special setup done. I like my action fairly low, although one of my bass buds (BigDaddyB here on TB) likes his even lower than mine - he's the setup king!
I set up my necks with just a smidgen of relief (from the trussrod) and then adjust action by feel. Makes fretting easier up and down the neck, and proper RH technique can help limit buzz even with low action if you want to dig in a little.
I've owned several Sadowskys and one other Skjold... only one of the Sadowskys wouldn't go as low as I wanted - it really needed the neck shimmed, but it no longer lives at my house.

I used to be London but moved out to Taunton in Somerset 3 years ago. One of the best decisions I ever made. My wife, daughter and I have a much better life whilst being only 2 1/2 hours drive away from London if I need to pop into 'The Gallery' for anything.
