Whoa... Dude... Don't you know 13 is an unlucky number?

Order two... then send one to me :D

In Japan, 4 is an unlucky number(It represents the 4th stage of life, or DEATH)

So that's why I always stop at 3 basses...then trade or sell if I want to get another.

It's better that way.

So right now I have a Newly acquired Sadowsky MV5...a MIM Fender Active Deluxe Jazz, and an Epiphone Allen Woody Sig.

A happy lil family.

HI

Thanx guys. I ordered it in black, black hardware, d-tuner, maple board, modern style with no pickguard, controls in a diamond configuration like a 24/5, Nordstrand big singles in jazz bass postition, standard Sadowsky electronics. Thats about it. Very cool. The wait begins.

Hey Rob,

Did you play or at least gander at this one?? I see someone has it on hold, so maybe it was off limits.

I tell you, I am holding out for a Dingwall ABII for my next bass, but this one almost caused me to stray from "the plan.":rolleyes:

HI

Hey Mike. What up? Picked the Nordstrand singles from a recommendation from Roger. Glad I did. Had a chance to play a 5 string just finished before I left yesterday that had them. They sound fantastic

Hey Bob. Played it. Very nice. Was on hold to a guy in Europe. Looked fantastic. Good luck

Describe the tone compared to the regular Sadowsky J's and/or the Sadowsky single coils.

HI

Well, I'm not really good at describing but I'll try. LOL

They just seemed to be louder, punchier, with a great sweet tone. A bit of hum when you panned but nothing major.

Compared to my humcancelling basses, more middy!?

I dont know, guys I'm crappy at describing frequencies and the like I just know what I like. I have great ears but my soundman vocabulary is quite poor. LOL

HI

One other comment. When thinking about how the bass would look upon completion, I didnt want the look of the traditional single coil pickup, even though I wanted the tone. The Nordstrand are thin, rectangular, no rough edges. I really thought, esthetically, they would really fit the overall design I was after. Im just glad they sound great, too. LOL. A recommendation from Mr Sadowsky never hurts, also. All Ive heard lately is great things about Nordstand products and I wasnt disappointed in the pickups

Thanks ROb. Give me a ring. We haven't chatted in a while and I lost your number when my phone crapped out. Can't make NAMM this year as I will be in Nashville.

Later bro.

HI

Ash, of course. I prefer my Sadowsky's with swamp ash bodies, very light. Around 8lbs. I will sometime this year get a Sadowsky Metro hybrid. Alder, PJ setup, rosewood board. Want that '60s look and tone but with the J taper neck and added j pickup. Cant wait for either!!!

that is a gorgeous sounding bass.

if i were ever to get another M24, it'd be in these woods with maybe a quilt top. the braz gives everything a nice sweetly rounded top end that i actually prefer for my slap. nothing too clicky. rather sweetened.
