I cannot understand why people who say they cant play the slap bass syle of bass playing.Then go on to discredit it surely its just another way of playing the bass ? It can be used in certain styles of music with great effect i have even seen it done on a pbass with flats and it sounded great

I was interested to read the comments concerning Sadowsky basses. During the 80,s and 90,s I earned a living playing bass in the clubs of the North East. I had to cover a lot of different styles and genres of music. At that time I was using Fender Basses. I also tried JD, s Status basses etc. I found that the fender basses worked in all situations better than the above. I am a big fan of Will Lee and what he does as a musician, which is cover ring a lot of styles of music. His tone always sounded great to me. I saw a picture of Will in a bass magazine with his Sadowsky bass and thought it looked great and sounded great when he used it on the Letterman show. I decided to save up the cash and go for buying a Sadowsky bass the same as Will’s at the time. I found the that dealing with Rodger Sadowsky over my bass was a most pleasurable and professional experience. The bass arrived exactly as planned and sounded incredible. I gigged the bass the very same night that it landed and the whole band was blown away by look, and more especially the tone. I am lucky enough to still get compliments on the tone of the bass from musicians and members of the audience. To me that’s why Sadowsky basses are worth the money. As for being an expensive fender jazz copy, they are not. I also have a 1970 Custom shop limited edition Fender jazz bass, fitted with a Sadowsky pre-amp. The Fender and my 4 String Sadowsky bass sound totally different. I also have a 2009 NYC Sadowsky 5 string with an AAAA Burl Maple top and Ebony fingerboard. This bass sounds totally different from the other two. To sum up for me Fender Jazz style basses work well in a situations. Sadowsky Basses just kill in a live situation. Here are my 3 basses
