Btw was the trb the one from Aroundabout?[/quote] Ha ha.. Yeah tis that TRB from Aroundabout..Played it and bought it on the spot..Awsome bass!! Thanks guys....

[quote name='birdy' post='393234' date='Jan 27 2009, 10:20 PM']Where did you get it from? A UK dealer or direct from Sadowsky. Probably just needs a decent setup after the journey across the pond? If it has genuine problems eMail Roger and he will sort you out - Sadowsky are famous for their customer service. Steve[/quote] Yeah direct from Roger and his team..I guess it just needs a good setup... I have a TRB6II and the action is pretty low (perfect for me) but i never get fret buzz, no matter how hard i play, just some great growl..Think i will take both and get them to set the Sad the same as the TRB (or close)

Hi there..i bought an RV5 a while ago, and although i love the tone of the bass, its never really felt together.. When it arrived the action was WAY to low so there was terrible fret buzz all over the neck, so i have raised the action, but cant seem to get it low without fret buzz...Also when it arrived the active/passive pull push knob was loose and wobbles, as well as the stacked treble/bass knob. Also Im not sure if its normal but the tone gets very muddy the higher i play on the B string??? i know these are only small problems, but on a £1700.00 bass, they maybe shouldnt happen.. Now i know this is prob pretty rare on a new Sadowsky, but has anyone else experienced any problems with one..Im now going to take it for a good setup and get it sorted.. I should say apart from these minor(but annoying problems) the bass is flawless and beautifully made!!!! Anyone know a good repair/setup shop in the Cheltenham area??

Your fingers/hands will find a way!!!..i find muting the B no problem, because my thumb is on the low B until i play the B..some runs are to much of a slide on a 4. I play a TRB6II and the 5 seems small now..playing a sixer is great for getting your technique together...so much sympathetic ringing to keep in check...

I was in love with this Skjold LIons Pride 5 string from Bass Direct thats now on sale in the gallery for a long time...As it is, im still in love..i just havent played it.. i have heard this bass is something special..Has anyone played this/these jazz basses. Im still in love with my Sadowsky RV5, but i have got a feeling this bass may be in a different league...enough said... I need to know how good these basses are please.

Ohhhh i nearly tried out that Skjold Lions Pride.. it was originaly sold by Bass Direct..I think i would sell my Sadowsky to get that bass..looks fabulous..any ideas how they play??

I have had a thing for her since i saw the i feel for you video when i was 7 or 8[/quote] Ha Ha, so would i, but shes a big girl, and im a small rooster YouMa..glad you said Molan....when she live??, to be honest i dont care about bass players..shes everything i love about music right there...

i think everyone digs basses in there own way, whether it be nieve,(spelling sorry) or experienced..His age may be a guess as to why he played the way he did,.. good or bad..im not a big fan of shop room Marcus Millers believe me, but no one in the shop cares, they want squids.. In his fingerstyle shop embarassment he may be a future bass master..so let him be, and get on with it..hopefully he didnt make a rash choice like buying a bass package. What was he playing???? All the same i played a Yamy TRB6 and within 2 chords some slap and some finger funk it was mine...Super Bass!!!!!!..2 minutes and i was in love..thats all it takes...

[quote name='marnie01' post='385083' date='Jan 19 2009, 03:47 PM']Hello people. My name is Martin and I am new at this foreum. I live in the Netherlands, so if my Englis is a bit confusing or bad at some times, please forgive me. I am very much in love with the MTD KZ5, but I cannot find a lot of info on the internet about this bass. I have played it a couple of times and i really like it, but IF I buy it I have to trade 3 basses (2 squier and 1 handmade old "sugarbelly" Jazzbass) for it. I know that it is up to me and that buying an instrument is very personel, but I would really like some feedback from my colleague-bass players I hope you will help me out. Thanks[/quote] Hey Martin welcome tp BC..Dont know alot about this bass, but you may want to check out Harmony Central, and look at the reviews o this bass...

Im needing to brush up on my theory and hopefully learn some new techniques, so was hoping to go for some lessons.. Im in the cheltenham area..Any ideas of teachers in this area.. ps, i would prefer a teacher who just teaches bass and maybe not a guitar/bass lesson.

Amazing, just a great musician taking his craft, and perfecting it!!!! So much admiration...

MD..there is a great shop in Kent that not many people know..its called The American Guitar Centre, and strangely enough..BassWorld... They stock Epiphone, Fender, Squire, and even makes such as Lakland, Overwater, Alembic, Yamaha..And they are cheap.. They will prob have, or could get what you want.. Google it... Hope this helps..

34"....of course they are.

I have a 75 RI, and i dont think the covers affect the sound at all.....consider you get the most sound from the pickup you play over, so this is impossible with the covers over the pup...correct me if im wrong..i find it much easier to play with no covers on, its just more ergonomic.. Although i do like the look of these covers, if you play in multi right hand positions,and move around quickly from finger style to slap,.. i just makes playing too difficult.. IMO they are purely cosmetic..if they were of any use, Fender would still fit them..

I have a USA 75 jazz reissue and the pickups are fantastic..(depending on what bass you put them with, the best pickups in the world wont make a bass made from balsa wood sound good).....as for the machine heads, they are as good as any i have come across, bridges not so chunky. A squire Jazz may be a great way to go, i guess trying one out is the best option..The Lakland IMHO, is in a different league compared though..Longer scale length of the Laky, may be a deal breaker mind... What about a second hand MIM Jazz? Must try a squire jazz out, heard so many good things about them..

PBY, i would say a great bass to go for is the Lakland 44-01 for sale in the for sale section here. £400.00 from Riddler Awsome bass, and very versatile, Bartolini pick ups..i would say for that money, there is no better...

My RV5,,with VTC, Great bass..what a tone.....
