Where does the Sadowsky come from?

[mothmonsterman]

it comes from the cheese.

Craftsmanship,parts and,hype.IMHO.

 

[Ty_Boogie]

from all the parts, and the TLC

It's kinda hard to stay in business for over twenty five years based on hype. Unless you're Madonna.

 

[Funkee1]

It's all of the above, just as it is with every bass. The combination is what makes the sound.

 

[jokerjkny]

i have a parts bass that i had fitted w/ the sad pickups and preamp from a long while back.

sounds nothing like my Sad V5.

(...) and,hype.IMHO.

hype IMHO, lasts less than 364 days. and besides, if that was the case, roger's gear woulda died back in the '80s. but whaddya know... he's still here.

(...)Unless you're Madonna.

nice...

Where do you think the sadowsky tone comes from?

From the output jack???

 

[bmc]

To be fair, my Sadowsky preamp is always with me, always has, always will be. Critical to my sound. Awesome piece of gear.

I voted "other". I figured that the player has to factor in somewhere along with the above offered choices.

That's a factor after the fact. I think that since players go in and try one after hearing about them and go "wow, that sounds great!", and buy one, there must be a specific sound there that's appealing to people that comes from the bass itself.

My point exactly.Hype is a good thing like, HOLY CRAP I JUST GOT A SADOWSKY I have never met a Sadowsky owner that wasn't hyper as all get out about Rogers basses.I was just trying to get a rise outa ya! Hype it up Guys!
BTW I know Roger makes some of the finest basses on the planet.

 

[tplyons]

Considering the high price tag, the player is usually well seasoned and usually has a nice rig to go with it, I think that it's part that due to the price tag, it becomes part of a collective amazingness.

That, but as far as the bass itself is concerned, I believe that it is the close attention to detail, fit and finish. Not to mention a kick ass electronics package.

Do you think the metro Sadowsy’s are as good as the US made version in sound and feel?
In other word if you were blindfolded could you tell the difference?

 

[jokerjkny]

i can.

the necks feel different, and most of the metro's i've tried were a bit heavier, tho lighter than most other jbasses i've owned/tried. tonally i can swear i hear more of a pillowy low end in the USA's, vs. a slightly leaner sound in the Met's, but most say i'm crazy.

guess its all in who you ask.

 

[BigMikeW]

HI

Yea. Sum of all parts, not to mention some magic dust Roger has in a safe somewhere

+1,000

Good point.
