bubinga5 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I played my basses against each other this evening over the same loop... and ive come to the conclusion that the bass that stands above everything else is the Sadowsky.. The fender 75 is a class act, and the StingRay5 is awsome, the Lakland is great, the Ostinato is just pure funk,, but nothing touches this bass for amazing across the FB tone.. Its like a tone of butter and chocolate thats got the most incredible punch..i defy any bass to sound as good as my RV5..( a matter of opinion of course) I really do think Roger has the art of Electric Bass making down.....The Preamp is a masterpiece IMHO....coupled with the amazing quality..I think, if you can, everyone should try out a Sadowsky..if you like the tone , you will never look back... I just wanted to share my love. Surely Alleva's cant be that much better? Where's Chris? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceguyhomer Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I concur sir - they're definitely a cut above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I want another Sadowsky at some point, but my Siggery will do the job for the means, both in looks and tone. Great basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive got to agree with you mate! since i got my NYC all other basses ive tried just dont do it for me! apart from my Metro RS4 of course!! The build/sound quality of the Metro range is in my opinion just as good as the NYC! they really know what they're doing! Since getting my RS4 im really happy!! i dont see me changing them for a long time! unless someone sells me an Alleva Coppollo!! hahahhaaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I was doing the same thing with my Celinder and Sadowsky over the same loop a couple of nights ago and I just can't seperate them. They're very different basses and are designed to do different things. I could poay my Celinder in any band, anywhere and the tone would fit right in. I didn't want that when I got my Sadowsky - I wanted an absolute chainsaw beast to cut through any band (heavy music) so I went for the most aggressive style, woods and pickups and I'm so happy. It's like a sledgehammer. I love it and it sounds great. I'm already planning my next one (silver burst I think!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoffbassist Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 yep, ive owned loads of basses and the sadowsky modern 5 i have right now works in every context...the other day i did a pub gig in leeds with a beringer 90 amp (which was a bad as it sounds!) but still people complemented the bass...... by the way joes celinder is also Very special!

EBS_freak Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 And Sadowsky has a good sense of humour. I appreciated the April Fools joke this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PauBass Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 (edited) I agree with you've said guys, I'm now the proud owner of a Sadowsky UV70-MB-Ash and it's the best bass I've ever played! The feel, the neck, the sound, the tone across the fretboard... ummmm, I'm in love! Edited May 13, 2009 by PauBass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
largo Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Tried a few Sadowsky 5's (all Metro's not NYC) and none were any better than my Sei Jazz. Opinions are great things ! Oh yeah, and I've got LED's on my Sei Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can honestly say you won't see this one up for sale...that's how confident I am with this one. Apart from the money I've paid, ticks all the boxes I wanted and the playability is excellent...it's all I've ever wanted on a bass. I'll sell some of my other basses but this one is going nowhere.

7string Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I've played some Metro's and, in isolation I was really impressed with them. Felt great, sounded great, looked great. I prefer my Tyler though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
