ThomBassmonkey Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I find it odd when people don't put up pictures, not even putting up what the basses are is simply awesome. hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassbluestew Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I'm loving this....................Platypus is dead right. To hell with my Hons degree in Marketing, this is how it SHOULD be done. So......... I'm thinking of selling something, can you guess what it is yet ??? Or how much I want for it. Go on, trail through my previous posts to see what I've bought and what it might be. No prizes, it's just for fun !!! I think secretly he doesn't want to sell them, but has had to promise wife/gf/partner that at least he'd put an ad up to see what response it gets. Job done !!!!

deksawyer Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I know Gil and he's for real. Amazing player too..... The thing is though, he'd really like a Wal but thinks they're too heavy. My Wal is heavy, but with the right strap it's a breeze. He's big enough to stick up for himself as well! D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.[/quote] Hey D - if Gil is a friend then it might be worth giving him a gentle nudge to actually let people know which basses are for sale, maybe some history on their age and condition etc. I think it highly unlikely that anyone is going to part with £1,800 without this basic kind of info. Plenty of people here with that kind of money for a bass (I've bout & sold several!) and an NYC Sadowsky is really one of the easiest high end basses to sell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=37636"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?act=attach...st&id=37636[/url][/quote] Have a bump on me Gil. I know you're never online! Gil is a mate of mine too and I can wholeheartedly vouch for his knowledge, sincerity and humour! He's been kind enough to allow me the use of his basses when mine haven't been to hand. I have performed and recorded with every Sadowsky bass he's owned. Out of the three basses, the blue quilt is no longer available. All basses are NYC, not Metro. The blue with matching headstock has a unique tone, which I think owes a lot to the ebony fingerboard. There's plenty of clarity and high end snap like a maple board, but the bass has more natural mids than the classic scooped-mid character often heard with Ash/Maple J-basses. An effective bridge between the tones of Sadowsky's 60s & 70s-inspired combinations of wood. This bass features the Vintage Tone Control. My first impression of the 24 fretter is how light it is. Anyone who has owned a Sadowsky NYC 5 strings will know how light they can be, especially compared to a Fender, but the lack of weight really is exceptional. Tonally, I think everyone would have their own comparisons away from the common [i]Jazz Bass[/i] sound. It's not unlike Sadowsky's take on a Jazz bass sound, but leans toward a more 'high-end' bass sound with it's rich low mids. The fingerboard is very pretty too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
