Gwilym Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) A bit of Sadowsky pr0m. I love the simplicity of the looks, and that it sounds pretty good too. It was the pick of the bunch for me when I first tried it at the Sadowsky showroom in Brooklyn back in September 2009. Unfortunately I couldn't stretch to buying it at that time. After prevaricating for a while, it sold and I thought that was that, then last October it turned up on Basschat and it had found its way to France, but I didn't see the advert until it sold once again. Luckily for me it came back up for sale, and then not for sale, and finally I was able to arrange to buy it. I made the trip to Paris to collect last Sunday, almost cheaper than shipping, and safe with the knowlege that I'm the only once chucking the case around on the way back to London I'm loving ebony boards at the moment, they seem to give a really quick response/attack on the note and this one's no exception. Here's the picture off the Sadowsky website... [attachment=70108:5304_full_lg.jpg] EDIT: and it's only 7.85lbs !! Really light for a 5er. Good for my back and shoulder as I get older, no doubt!
