  1. Slim, Lovely....Orgasmic? No idea!
  2. Hi guys, I have a 2007 Sterling HS, which has a true 2 coil H pickup (wired in Series) and the Single coil with a dummy coil attached to it. I only ever use the H pickup soloed with the mids cut almost entirely out of it because I really want a more Stingray tone, and I'm interested in upgrading the Hbucker to a Nordy 4.2. So that got me wondering... [b]Is it possible to rewire a Sterling HS/HH in parallel?[/b] I have contacted Nordstrand and they really aren't sure how do this. I don't want to bother Musicman as they don't like their gear being modded (or at least getting involved in mods and getting involved in potentially risky/messy alterations, which is fair enough). Before anyone says anything, I don't want a Stingray, as I like thin necks, SLO Stingrays are as rare as rocking-horse sh*t and no I don't think MM are too sacred to mod...(I've modded a deified Sadowsky with my own fair hands with great success...) Any advice, stories or even better a how-to would be muchos appreciated Dave
  3. These are £50 imported. Immaculate condition. Original Sadowsky Metro MV4 scratchplate. Selling as I have a different colour on there now. £25!
  4. I can put one up tonight It's half ash/half Zebrano. The back is natural (very nice looking) ash. Dave
  5. It's not your Jabba, it's my Jabba! Bought it from Bass Direct, now replaced with a Sadowsky. Yeah 4-ers only mate. Cheers, Dave
  6. This is more of a feeler at this stage, but I think I am up for a change. I'm looking to sell (preferably) or trade my 2009 Special Edition Warwick Double Buck Zebrano/ash. 1 of 43 units. It is absolutely immaculate, without a ding in sight. No scratches or buckle rash. Regularly waxed and polished. It has also had upgrades worth nearly £400, with vastly superior Norstrand 2b pre-amp (with selectable treble frequency - from standard treble to glassy Marcus miller frequency, which brings no upper mids with it when boosted - very useful) and a sweet, musical bass pot. Pickups are tappable Delano MM pickups, which IMO kick the crap out of the MEC units. Just as punchy, but fuller and more organic sounding. This is a stunning, amazing sounding instrument. Sale only, please. Price - £850
  7. Bought from Sadowsky, brand new and immaculate but I don't like the colour! I'm a fussy bastard... These are £50 imported. £25 [attachment=117069:mjkkkk.jpg]
  8. Buhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhump.
  9. Did this sell mate?
  10. No one like stunning super-jazzes for bog standard Fender money? WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!
  11. Well, I have a nice clip of the bass from the guy who sold it to me, albeit he had Nickel D'Addarios on it and I now have Fat beams on it. Perhaps I'll chuck those strings back on for the comparison. Dave
  12. So I recently acquired a Sadowsky MV4 in 59 burst with maple neck from a fellow basschatter. Lovely bass - light as a feather (ridiculously light in fact) and a neck that is the perfect combination of thin and chunky. It plays like butter. And then there's that Sadowsky tone. Anyway, to cut a long story short, I decided I'd drop my Nordy SVs into it and see what happens...At first the sound was a little too bright and perhaps a tad harsh and inorganic sounding. So I changed the volume pot to a 250K and....WHAM, there it is. Gorgeous super-super vintage/modern Jazz tone. It's quite possibly the best sounding jazz I've ever heard. The Sadowsky HC pickups are great, but the Nordys are even better - more detailed crunchy high end, more pronounced midrange (I can now get some honk, which wasn't really there before) and it still has that super tight punchy bottom end. i would say the Nordys are more alive that the Sadowskys.Tone to die for. Clips and pics soon. Dave
