[quote name='Toasted' post='578503' date='Aug 23 2009, 08:14 PM']I think my Sadowsky sounds decidedly dodgy by itself.[/quote] I have never heard a dodgy sounding Sadowsky, unless its (not suggesting you are) EQ'd very badly

A Sadowsky isnt a Jazz bass..Its Sadowsky's take on a Jazz bass. there is no point in looking for that classic tone...If you want that buy a Fender Jazz?! This bass might not have been set up right..My old Sadowsky was a tone monster, the preamp is superb...Just because a bass is shaped like a Jazz bass doesnt mean its going to sound excactly like one...People put too much expectation on Sadowsky... Your only shocked becauase it didnt sound like a Fender Jazz..I will bet all my basses, that the Sadowsky was way better made than the Fender,superior hardwear, better pikups, thats why its more expensive

Ive been into Incognito since JazzFunk came out, been to see them multiple times, and they have never let me down.. just sounds like a bad soung engineer....Nearly went Sat, too short notice for me

Is that URB's Sei jazz for sale at the gallery?

[quote name='Stingray5' post='577513' date='Aug 22 2009, 12:48 PM']Exceptional looking bass, B5! Years ago I remember seeing something on TV that followed the building of a Sei Bass for a pro female bass player. I can't remember the programme or indeed the name of the bass player (Gail Ann...? Yolanda...? Aired maybe late '80s, early 90's? any help here welcomed) but I have to say, since seeing that programme and how Martin Petersen came across even then, Sei Basses have always been my #1 bass to aspire to. Seeing the pics of your Sei Jazz has just further reinforced that aspiration.[/quote] I remember this program S5, but like you i cant remember who it was, ive got a feeling it was Yolanda Charles.. Yeah same price range as Sadowsky NYC's not sure about AC's but there way overpriced IMHO..

yes a US 5 string jazz..any ideas?

i feel bad now PETD..yeah hes enjoying himself...thats what music is about, good or bad..well said

i think its about 8 BB..weighs less than my 4 string Fender

Im posting this to give props to Martins work..i know why 7string, sshorepunk,Urb and others dig these instruments Some have seen this (and ive waffled on about this bass) ..but here are some proper pics..this really is the most capable bass ive ever played..Light as a feather,everything about says play me.. I play alot of funk/jazz and it is so in its element when it comes to this stuff...fast gospel runs are so smooth to play,and no matter how fast you play the bass (with the U Retro) it will give you the cleanest punchy sound...., digging in funk gives an amazing tone like you wouldnt believe, and fast fingerstyle disco just makes you want to play more.. What i love the most is the vibrato sound it gives...just something else.. the original passive tone is great through the Agy, but when you flick the switch and EQ it right, it just makes you smile...i recently have been jamming with some seasoned jazz musicians and they adore the tone of it..., ive gigged it 3 times and bass players have asked what bass it is..dont all bassist know about Sei..?? Ive heard people say on here that high end custom basses help you play better, and its true! ive played Sadowsky, F Bass, Nordstrand, Skjold, and this bass. (ok maybe just for me) has got something else...Always amazes me how talented people like Martin are??..how do they get to this level of there craft????????? Boggles the mind...Passion and years i guess.. I wouldnt give up this bass for any AC.. I would love to play some of you guys non jazz SB's.. Thanks Barrie..you sold me more than you know.. PS...i really dothink ABS make the best bridges of all of them.just superb..there is no direction i cant adjust my strings...

Oh dear....guitarist's stay away from our instrument!! its a mess from 3.00

Anyone got an idea of what a 1997 Fender Jazz 5string in Inca Silver might be worth..thanks..

Im in.. Fender Jazz custom shop custom Classic Stingray 5 Sei Jazz 5 Ostinato Jazz Fender Jazz 5 Cort Elrick 5 Aguilar

Thanks guys..hope to see you there. i will have B5 written on my head

Sounds great!! anyone know when the next one is?

So are there communial amps to plug in to?

I think Marlowe is fantastic.....sounds like a lovely guy, and a great resource for licks/theory etc..best thing on youtube for bass IMO.. He was gone for a while..... Nice to see him back...His website is free too! Oh and look at his basses...Drool!! Check this out...http://www.youtube.com/user/MarloweDK

Was thinking about going to a Bass Bash, but i erm...dont know who else would be interested in going with me..yes im a lonely bass player..who do you guys/girls go to these events with..wives/mates/pets??..Or are some of you friends and hook up often? Would love to go and play some different basses and maybe meet some of you people..whats the deal, do you bring all your basses along and talk bass? Sounds like a wonderfull day of bass indulgence! Who organizes these events..Dood???
