I suppose that is sensible after losing a law suit and having to pay Spector royalties To change designs and stop that and exploit loop holes when Kramer bought Spector.
Out if Interest are G&Ls considered Fender Clones? They had to change their headstocks....
Not hanging Sadowsky out there as a pantheon of the bass world, I never like this ‘Fender Clone’ copy thing are Stradivari violins called Amati copies/clones?
Mind you Hans has a history of doing rip offs with his SpectorWick basses......
I think most of all, he is just a bit of a plum which means there is a chance a decent brand could become less so
You may find that a neck profile change does what you need.
you may also be able to alter your technique to play with a thumb brace on, but it depends how much a thumb grip you use and how important it’s mute function etc. Is to your playing.
You May find you could simplify basslines, use an overhand neck grip, play seated etc that may allow rest and play
I also run a CaliCB into the DP3X and then into whatever amp - we all know Orange has some decent girth on it - I have found myself pulling back the chunk and drive a little of late to even clean up, Ben maybe playing nearer the neck could just give you that sweet spot, or if you are using roundwounds strings , something like TI flats give enough bite to sound nasty but can also be more organic
It’s a difficult one, I am lucky that I managed to find a sweet spot for my ears, but it took a whole week of almost non stop tinkering to get what I needed and to know it inside out.
There will be a sweet spot, and maybe there is one stacking it with the VT. I have had success in stacking mine too
If you simply roll off the tone knob on the bass with your existing setting on the DP3X, how do you find the sound?
Personally I find it can hit that warmer sound instead of the more harsh sound
Well, that’s Sadowsky’s share price dropped, maybe they can right royally fcuk up another companies good bass like the Status Buzzard and spread their weird management practice to another brand
I get where you are going with proportions, but in all honesty 900 shekels is a lot of lolly, if it’s a one off, fair enough, but if it’s a recurring theme in this line, that not cricket.
What are the saddles actually like?
On Sandbergs you can take em out and turn em back to front to give a little more life in intonation, alter the break angle
Yes with Mighty Mite/All parts/Warmoth - all quality.
Make sure you get the exact radius/dimensions etc you want, check the neck pocket and heel size to make sure they are compatible- you may have to build the pocket/shave.
There are some good second hand bargains out there.
Go for it!
Send me - I can barely keep in time even if I know the songs and will definitely fail to learn the set, but will bring a monster amp and turn it up to 11 so it will sound fine
