I was going to sell on my M2 (4 string teal blue with maple board) but then realised it had one of the nicest neck profiles I've ever played. The neck also has a really luxury feeling satin finish on it. As well as this, the action on my M2 is the lowest of all my basses. Tonally the humbuckers on the M2 are a bit dark sounding and it could do with a bit more sizzle on the treble. My V3s were worlds apart from the M2 in this respect. Must be single coils vs humbuckers as they both use the same Sire Heritage preamp. Definitely think that the coil options via the switches on the higher end models would be a really good thing to have. For all that I'm really fond of my M2. For me the neck is way,way above its price point.

Peter bought my Sadowsky SBP2 preamp pedal which arrived with him today. Paid quickly and a pleasure to deal with as always. Hope the pedal serves you well. All the best and thanks again Keir

If these sound and play and are built to the same standard as my HB TE-62 Telecaster then I'm definitely interested in buying one. Either Dakota red or Shell pink.

Met Stuart today and bought his Overwater/Tanglewood Contemporary Jazz 5. Stuart is a top fella and I could easy have stopped a while more chatting bass with him but he had work to get back to and I had a drive home before rush hour. Totally trustworthy seller with great taste in basses, thoroughly recommended. Thanks again Stuart, I set the bass up for my own preferences and it's an absolute peach! Keir

Bought Paul's TC BG250 combo from him earlier today. Took a drive over to his place to pick it up and spent half an hour playing his absolutely wonderful sounding and playing P bass. Could have easy spent a couple of hours there talking bass. Top fella, absolute credit to basschat. Many thanks Paul! Keir

Having a soft spot for the V3, I can, with hand clapped firmly on heart, say with 100% certainty I will be buying one of these.....

Owen bought my Donner Alpha Force Flyrig pedal. Quick payment, great having a chat with Owen as per usual. Top fella. Thanks again Owen🙂 Keir

Dunc bought my Behringer Multicom XL expander/gate/compressor rack thingy and the deal went smoothly without a hitch. Quick payment, let me know it arrived. One of the good guys! Thanks Dunc Keir

I had two USA Deluxes (4HH and 5HH) and they were both superb basses. Massively underrated imo

Yes he did. From the 'about' section on his home page. From 2002-2007, I worked at Sadowsky Guitars in Brooklyn NY in the Shipping Department where I took care of shipping & handling as well as do all final inspections of instruments. From early 2009 until mid 2010 I came back to work as a Builder.

Great basses! And congrats on snagging your bass🙂 I had a couple of Elites - a flame maple 5 and a wenge 4 as well as a cherry red fretless 5 Deluxe. Mine were all bolt on. Only moved them on as part of a general cull of my bass collection which had gotten out of hand at the time. Really liked them, played the Elite 5 a fair bit in the band I was in and it always sounded really good, especially with the pan pot in the middle and a smidge of bass boost. The pull up for prescence/hi treble was a handy feature too. Would definitely buy another if I had the funds.

Got myself a Metro Express 5. I already own a Valenti jazz with the Sadowsky preamp as well as a SBP2 pedal, and have really come to appreciate the simplicity and the sound of their preamps

John bought my Sterling by MusicMan Ray25CA. Painless transaction, great guy to deal with, prompt payment and a proper credit to this forum. Deal with in confidence! Thanks again John 🙂

Received this just the other day after BillyBass posted it up on here as being on a blowout deal with PMT. Have looked it over and over and can't see any flaw. Action was high when it arrived - now sorted and there was no battery in. Originally thought I had a dud. Also there is no passive tone control which is a bit of a missed opportunity. The good bits - the roasted neck is an absolute joy - it has a really comfortable profile and luminlay side dots. The DiMarzios sound great passive and the preamp is not anywhere near as bad as I was expecting. This is some hiss on the treble and mid pots but only at the extreme end of travel. I tried it passive through my Sadowsky SBP2 preamp pedal and...well it has that sound which with my Valenti having the Sadowsky preamp and the subject of my NBD pt2 also having one, I'm growing to love that signature tone more than any other I think. Lots of other cool little appointments on this bass but lastly the lustre to the finish is up there with the USA Musicman and G&L basses Ive owned. The pics really don't do it justice. Looking forward to gigging this one next weekend!
