[quote name='bilbo230763' post='129340' date='Jan 28 2008, 04:27 PM']Hey Fran! - My wife and I visited Santander once a few years ago - had a fantastic week there. Its a great town. I remember beautiful food, long walks late into the evening and great, great weather.[/quote] great! Many people from the UK pass through town because there is a regular Ferry from/to Plymouth, but few of them give a chance to one of the most beautiful cities in my country (they all go to the Mediterranean shore). As you said, we have great food, wonderful beaches and nice weather (although the sun is not always a sure thing). We also have a lot of cultural activities all year long.

Hello, I'm a bassist from Santander, a beautiful town on the North coast of Spain. I've been playing bass and writing songs for 20 years and although most of that time has been spent on rock, americana-country and funk bands, I love all kinds of music. I'm also studying classical upright bass in my hometown's Professional Conservatory of Music. I play Sadowsky basses through a Read Purity preamp, QSC PLX power amp and Aguilar & Peavey cabinets. My main bass for years was a MusicMan StingRay. I've also played several Lakland 4-94s, but I've found my tone with the Sadowsky PJs that I play now (a fretted 4 string at the moment and a fretless 4 string that I have on order). I hope that I can have bass fun and do my part on this comunity.

[quote name='largo' post='127361' date='Jan 24 2008, 11:04 PM']Do Sadowsky offer different string spacings on their 5'ers ? I know 19mm is standard but I really don't like beyond 18mm.[/quote] yes, they offer a narrower string spacing at the nut.

You're probably looking for something like this: As Dazz said: excellent instruments with #1 customer support. I've had 6 Sadowskys shipped from NYC and never had a problem. All of them wonderful basses. I have a fretless on order at the moment. Basically a twin brother to this PJ but with ebony board.
