How did you enjoy your trip to Henley? [/quote] It partially still is, but I'm confident he'll agree on him keeping my 535, I'm already loving the Sadowsky, all it needed was to be dropped down a full step and it literally is exactly what I want it to be. I'm already use to the scale and size etc... And luckily the jazz shape finally suites me at long last, and really just covers the otherside of tonal palette perfectly. It just needs a few minor changes before I'm 100% happy with it. I'm also trying to find out what kind of bridge it is so I can find out if there is a black version of it. Twas the other way round man, Barrie came down here as he was delivering his Mark Bass combo to Rasta and they met up at the Bridgwater services, so he came on down with the Sadowksy, his Roscoe (Beautiful bass) and Zon for me to have a widdle on, Barrie is rather pleasent chap isn't he?

Mike Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Barrie is a very pleasant guy, did some business with him recently. Thought he loved that Sadowsky! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flychris Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I'm sorry to say that but as a pre-owner of a sadowski... I made a test ... A/B test ... a fender (american standard US / Alder - Rosewood) with the sadowski preamp box.... against a sadowski US (Alder - Maple) ... And... nothing... amazingly the same (more trebles on the sadowski but maple fretboard.... so... and a bit lack of mids on the sado...) So... I cannot understand that a lot of people spend to much money for just the SADO name... (...I need to correct... I understand cause I already spend too much money ... but cause of the "commercial effect" "GAS effect" so name it as you want given by forums and advertisments... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I'll hazard a guess and say that the Metros have more mids as opposed to the NYC's, I love mine because I dig in alot and it is pure Hi-Fi growl heaven, but it can lack warmth at times, and I'm guessing thats what the Metros provide.

7string Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 (edited) Aren't the NYC one's supposed to be chambered? If so, does anyone think that this makes a difference? I've always loved Sadowsky's though. There used to be a cherry sunburst 5 string at the old Bass Centre in Wapping and I just used to stare at it.

Josh Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 I think this one was made in 1995, it might've been before Roger started chambering them, I'm probally wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
