I’m a little late to this topic , but in reference to the comment off you want a Sadowsky tone get a Sadowsky , but that UK basses don’t really have that approach , I’d argue that Wal, Status, and Jaydee basses all have tones that are unique , sought after, and useable in multiple music genres , at least the ones that I’ve experienced ( I currently own a 1987 Roadie active to go with my American/German/Polish made basses that keep it company ).
