Your point above also takes no account of the Sadowsky pick ups and electronics which are unique to Sadowsky.

well they were originally based on Dimazio jazz bass pickups, thats what he was using right up until he brought
out his own brand which sound very similair.

yea he doesnt actually build anything, all the parts are bought in. He may have some samples from the parts shops that he buys from, sure.

I wouldnt get either basses, they are just 'parts' basses, sadowsky just screws the body and the neck plus hardware together.
the parts come completely made and finished from places like Warmoth and Guitar Parts, so its a question of screwing a neck onto a body plus some fret work. Many will argue that he sets it up like a magician but you're paying 1000 dollars for the parts and 2000 dollars for the setup. Id rather pay 3000 dollars to Celinder or Sei to build me something by hand. Just my Opinion by the way.
