  1. Fantastic video just released by Nate Navarro ...
  2. Many thanks @JottoSW1. I'll definitely get in touch with him
  3. Thank you so much @BlueMoon - email sent
  4. Hi all Do you know anyone - besides the Gallery - who makes perspex ramps? I'm after one for my Sadowsky. Thanks in advance. Julian aka Glassmoon
  5. Great pedal. Very underrated I think, and considering the price, you can't beat them.
  6. Oooh, thanks @krispn. I'd forgotten that he was something of a boffin where the Stomp is concerned!! Excellent top tip!
  7. Thanks @javi_bassist. For me, right now, it's all about smaller is better. I've had massive boards in the past, and I've realised that all I really want is 2 or 3 drives and octaves and maybe a chorus or 2... the rest, not so much. I've just joined a cover band that does a lot of the "modern pop/rock" stuff (or utter tosh, as I like to call it hahahaha) and I need a mild, medium and heavy drive. With octaves, I need one to double track and one to emulate (with some drive) a 70's keyboard bass. Long story short, the Stomp really appeals from a "it's the size of a sandwich" perspective - and if I ever want to use the bells and whistles, they are all there.
  8. An open discussion question: for "just" effects, is the HX Stomp worth it? I love the size - dinky little thing
  9. Hahahahaha ... she and I have very different ideas of the aesthetics of a bass, but I think in this regard, this bass "needs" that Brand Logo!!!
  10. Yeah, much happiness here when I saw it didn't have the TescoExpress decal LOL I know where to go to get the Sadowsky one (even though my wife says not to be daft)... I will leave the round RSD decal on I think - it's still pretty cool.
  11. The wait is over!!!!! Yes, it's the baby... no, it doesn't (yet) have the VTC preamp... buuuuuuuuut, after literally 5 minutes plugged in.... this is what I think... There seems to be none of the fret end issues that I've read so much (and dreaded) about. These are pretty much what I'd expect from a well set-up bass The eq, set flat, is amazing! Let's just say that A/B'ed against my Cort, which has Delano pickups, the Sadowsky beats, nay, slays is!!! It's lighter than both the Cort and my old model Ibanez BTB 6 (and that means tons to an old man like me) I will go out on a limb and say this much... I've played a Sadowsky only once before (in another life in South Africa back in 1999 or 2000) and it was a MIA top of the line 24 fret model, which blew my mind.... so I have almost nothing to base my impressions off... but what I just played is HUGELY better in feel and tone than the above mentioned Cort, a MM SUB, which also had Delanos (not painting a good picture for Delano, am I?), and probably sits nicely under previously owned MIJ, early 90's Yamaha TRBs (5&6) in terms of "wow, this is a great bass). I mean that... it's not just platitudes because it's "new bass day" for me, I really honestly mean that. To Roger (thank you for the emails BTW), Sadowsky and Warwick, I say thank you!! This one is a keeper! Julian Fairall aka Glassmoon
  12. From what I understand, the Sadowsky part is just under 6 cm. Any chance someone could confirm that for me? Still waiting for the bass. Thomann did say "usually ships 1-2 weeks" but I'm just flipping impatient 😂
  13. Now that is an explanation even a woodworking noob like me can understand. Thank you kindly @carlsim. All I need is the bass... Last question... What are the dimensions you used for the decal. The "Sadowsky" part I mean? Ta, muchly
  14. Many thanks @benh. About to check them out. Ta
  15. I've found the (Sadowsky) logo on etsy and several other places. I'll see which one is best. I'm also considering asking Roger Sadowsky directly if I can get a genuine one... My wife says I should look for a stencil, transfer the letters to the wood, and not a decal. Will see about that too. I'm sure Sadowsky uses a print stamp
  16. Stoked to have found this thread. I'm waiting for delivery of my bass from Thomann, and absolutely want to get the headstock looking "proper". Can I hit you both (@carlsim and @kevin_lindsay) up for advice, links etc. please? Much appreciated Julian aka Glassmoon
  17. Thanks @songofthewind I'm not sure what sealant to use, but I'm sure my local B&Q person can assist. Now to peruse Amazon for the decal paper 😄
  18. A stupid question perhaps, but short of sanding the headstock to remove the existing logo....is there a "better" way to strip off the current logo?
  19. Many thanks @BlueMoon. I'll definitely be checking them out,
  20. Good day all you bass builders. I want to get a headstock decal made, but I have no idea where to go. Any pointers, ideas, options? My thanks in advance. Julian aka Glassmoon
  21. These are awesome bags, and especially useful for longer scale basses. GLWTS mate.
  22. You have no idea. I've got so much conflict about selling this, present issues notwithstanding. It's a really heavy hitter....
