[quote name='GreeneKing' post='424515' date='Mar 3 2009, 09:01 PM']Isn't it just the NYC Sads that are routed out? Having owned a Sadowsky Metro and both US and Skyline Laklands I'd go with what Marcus says. If you want a lightweight Sadowsky though I think you may need to go NYC. Peter[/quote] My RS4 59Burst is light as a feather.....

In my opinion, there is a massive difference btw the Skyline and the USA instruments, certainly enough to justify the price gap. however, with the Sadowsky Metro and the NYC much less so...... Having just purchased a Metro I believe they are the very best VFM Super J you can buy ATB Mark

Not content with taking my DB750 away from me he's now gone and bought my Line 6 Pod !!! Top guy to deal with, credit to this forum Thanks Chris Mark

[quote name='NoirBass' post='423434' date='Mar 2 2009, 05:23 PM']Just taken delivery of Marks POD XT Live. He's a top bloke (As if he need any more good feedback!) see above. He does have a strange obsession with high end american amplification though. Cheers mate Chris[/quote] Look Chris...... you can be as nice to me as you like in my feedback thread but i've still not forgiven you for taking my DB750 away from me ATB mate....

[quote name='silddx' post='423208' date='Mar 2 2009, 02:07 PM']I've had that a few times, I just fingerpick through the pain, it's a good feeling actually, but it kills afterwards! And the blood gets in your pickups. Funny really, cos I hate going to the dentist for fear of pain.[/quote] I've got a beauty of a blister on my middle finger...... rehearsing with a RHCP tribute band tonight...... OUCH !!!!

Electro music in Doncaster - Dave Ryan's a top bloke Guitar Guitar Newcastle - Steve Grey also great to deal with

[quote name='thepurpleblob' post='422925' date='Mar 2 2009, 09:48 AM']I'd love to be able to play with a pick but it's a complete mystery to me how to do it. How the hell do you keep a slippery bit of plastic from falling out of your fingers??[/quote] +1 When I first started playing I wouldn't have anything to do with a pick Pick = Guitarist There have been a number of songs (originally played with a pick) that i've had to spend a fair bit more time learning with fingers than I should have done, simply because I wouldn't use a pick.... Silly really...... recently I've tried to use a pick and it's just too alien, it's limited me is a small bit significant way.

[quote name='niceguyhomer' post='422966' date='Mar 2 2009, 10:40 AM']Hey Marcus - is that 59 burst Sadowsky a recent acquisition from Guitar Guitar? I noticed it's disappeared off their site - I was gonna buy that very bass after playing Wayne58's NYC version. How is it?[/quote] The very same........ AWESOME !!

[quote name='Prosebass' post='422244' date='Mar 1 2009, 10:28 AM']Its called free speech. We all reserve the right to slag off whoever we like whether the reasons in your mind are justifiable or not. And you reserve the right to reply. I think it is great that people speak their mind on these matters and if offense takes place then good. As a great politician once said "Nobody has the right not to be offended" I don't like U2 , never have I think Bonio is an arrogant c**t In his interview with Lauren Laverne he was up his own arse, condescending and sounded pretty ordinary in the songs they did. Even his own band members are very diplomatic in what they say about him. On Jonathan Ross he went into the crowd and laid across the laps of 3 women , it was creepy and even my Mrs said "who the f*** does he think he is" and that is exactly the question, who the f*** does he think he is ?[/quote] Thought it was hilarious how one of the women (sitting in the aisle seet) just wan't bothered and was clearly thinking Tw@t !!

oooohhh..... Get some Nordy Fat Stacks in that Natural Bass

[quote name='bass_ferret' post='421580' date='Feb 28 2009, 11:13 AM']What a disappointment I like to cite the GK RBH cabs where the 4x10 has 3dB sensitivity and 9Hz LF extension on the 1x15. So f***ed if I know why Flea sticks 1x15's under his 4x10's. Cos its what people expect to see is probably the answer. [url="http://www.gallien-krueger.com/manuals/RBH_Owner_s_Manual.pdf"]http://www.gallien-krueger.com/manuals/RBH...er_s_Manual.pdf[/url][/quote] What does he care....... he's hearing IEM's The GK is just planted on stage to keep the deal going......, he doesn't even hear the GK tone, nore do you get it FOH as he used a Radial DI to feed his IEM's FOH and the GK Rigg ! Rock Stars eh !!!

[quote name='Shambo' post='421502' date='Feb 28 2009, 08:07 AM']I think it's great that the BBC are giving this, much needed, free exposure across all it's networks to the new album from one of the biggest acts in the world... ... no wait. No I don't.[/quote] And St. Bono's contribution to the show....... "Use a Condom" which ofcourse is good advice, just a shame his Father didn't think of that !!

I was so bored with their performance I managed to notice that Adam Claypool is now using Aguilar (Looked like a DB750 with a DB410 15) How's he get such a crap sound with such nice gear ?!?!?

Think I should be able to make it.......

The short scale version would make a good upgrade / bridging instrument between my daugter's Tanglewood Elfin and a full size Bass...... Might get one each for us...... Daddy size & Baby size, the wife can't argue with that can she
