[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]More PM'ing going on. [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Also new possible trade options.[/font][/color] -
The biggest advantage i think is the extra range. I play with a guitarist playing an eight string resonator guitar with an open D-tuning and often find myself longing for the low D I had with my previous 6 string. I've had no problems at all shifting from 4 to 5 to 6 string basses. The main disadvantage i think could be extra weight and, for me, a bit less comfort. Also a lot of cheaper basses suffer from bad B strings that have a completely different sound than the rest of the strings and sound like they don't really belong.

Of course the drummer and singer/keyboarist are fantastic to! I really love the piano solo on their version of Circus. It sounds kind of cool and creepy at the same time.

Dirty Loops are great and I *really* like Henriks bassplaying. He played bass with the swedish pop-metal band Blowsight a couple of years laying solid basslines and riffs but his playing in Dirty Loops seems so much more playful and creative. I think it's more of a "musicians music" though and not everyone's cup of tea. My non musician friends I've played this for don't like it at all...

Hi! I'd gone for it if it had one more string... Sorry! I had no idea a gold bass could look so good though!
-
I'll bump this one up again with some borrowed pictures...

I can guarantee it looks even better IRL!

Sorry, I'm primarily in need of a five stringer.

Hi! I've got a 4str Sadowsky Will Lee and am looking to trade it for preferably a 5 string. All of JJ, P or PJ are interesting. I'd prefer to change it to an Alleva Coppolo (with cash from my side) or Sadowsky, but other trades in the same price range could be interesting too so keep 'em coming! I also might consider a five string Ken Smith of some kind. The bass is in perfect condition apart from a small chip in the headstock (visible on pic. 3). It has the thinnest slickest neck I've played and weighs in at around 3,5 kg. It has single coil pickups instead of the humbucking pickups found on a lot of other Sadowskys but since the shielding is so well done any pickup hum is virtually inaudible. The bass also features a mid boost switch not available on other NYC basses which gives the already versatile bass even more sound variations, although it's hard to find any bad sounds... All in all, this is a fantastic instrument! Here's a review. [url="http://www.bassplayer.com/article/sadowsky-will-lee-model/4953"]http://www.bassplaye...-lee-model/4953[/url] Info: Swamp ash body, chambered for enhanced resonance and light weight (ca 3,5 kg) Candy Apple Red finish with matching headstock. Brazilian rosewood fingerboard. sleek 1.45” nut width. Graphite reinforced neck and slightly larger headstock to reduce dead spots. 12" fingerboard radius. Chrome hardware. Frets: 22 nickel/silver .090" wide x .048" high Tuners: Custom Hipshot/Sadowsky gears with D-tuner (drops to C if desired) Sadowsky single coil pickups. Will Lee preamp with midrange boost and the traditional 2 band Sadowsky FET preamp. The mid preamp is by-passable as is the standard preamp. Vintage tone control Here are a few pictures. It's hard to really capture the candy apple red finish with a crappy iPhone camera...
