[url="http://www.sadowsky.com/stock/view/3948.html"]http://www.sadowsky.com/stock/view/3948.html[/url][/quote] Mr cougar........that looks fantastic!! did you buy it from this forum?? also can you still get it set up quite low with the 9 inch radius? just wondered if there was a major difference between set ups on a 12 inch radius and a 9 inch Fran Diaz........they look like a great pair of basses!! your a lucky man!!

[quote name='lowhand_mike' post='245160' date='Jul 22 2008, 10:43 AM']yep been using them for 2 years now and only on my second set, they really last for ages and hold their tone as they don't fill up with crap. the coating takes a long time to even show its coming off and they still have a pretty long useable life once they do start to shed their skin (a bit like normal string life then) certianly worth the money i my opinion. which reminds me i'm about due to get a new set[/quote] +1 great strings!! used them for years now! tried every other brand out there and these have the longest life of all of them! the only other strings i use are DR hi beams as they're brighter sounding and a little more flexible but dont last as long or feel as smooth as elixirs! go for it mate, get yourself a set

original strings??? ewww!! lol

WOW!! totally insane prices on the warwicks!!! i only wish i still liked them enough to get such a bargin!!! a streamer stage 1 for 799!! thats just maddness!!

[quote name='sifi2112' post='246432' date='Jul 23 2008, 09:48 PM']Can't comment on Sadowsky, but do prefer 'black' basses in general .. having some Big Singles in a custom jazz so will let you know what I think of em when it's done & will A/B it with Warmoth jazz (wizard 84's). Si[/quote] ooooh i'd like to here your opinions on the big singles for definate!!

[quote name='bubinga5' post='246399' date='Jul 23 2008, 08:44 PM']Chris im in the same boat. i would like a sadowsky, but unlike you im not sure if i can stretch to an NYC. I love the Ice Blue or the Black..very understated. Sorry to throw the spanner in the works but these are tasty also!![/quote] yeah the ice blue has been near the top of my list for a while! well i already have a metro UV70 (which is fanbloodytastic) so i thought why not go mad n get an NYC too!! im still not 100% sure i can afford it but once ive ordered there's no going back!!! by the time it gets here i'll be selling everything i own (apart from my metro) lol that candy apple orange certainly is a striking colour!! hmmmmmmmm

hi ok so im thinking of taking the plunge, paying the $500 deposit, ordering my bass and then saving like crazy till it arrives! ive decided on a jazz body with either the P/J pickups or maybe the big singles! i just cant decide on a colour!!! i do know that i want a matching headstock......something like this (bit of an odd colour) [url="http://www.sadowsky.com/stock/view/4507.html"]http://www.sadowsky.com/stock/view/4507.html[/url] or this [url="http://www.sadowsky.com/stock/view/4888.html"]http://www.sadowsky.com/stock/view/4888.html[/url] or maybe this (wow) [url="http://www.sadowsky.com/stock/view/feat_4017.html"]http://www.sadowsky.com/stock/view/feat_4017.html[/url] ooh and this is pretty sexy [url="http://www.sadowsky.com/stock/view/feat_4332.html"]http://www.sadowsky.com/stock/view/feat_4332.html[/url] please bare in mind that im not into fancy body woods and figured tops! its a once in a life time thing and i'd like some opinions because at the moment there's just tooooo much choice! lol here's the options and prices for anyone thats interested in getting one [attachment=11169:retail_p...08_01_08.pdf] cheers

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='224329' date='Jun 22 2008, 06:36 PM']Oh yes, I'd quite forgotten about MC.Divinity. She tours sometimes with the Victor Wooten band. Quite a tidy player. It's Tal all the way for me, though [/quote] +1 Tal is awesome!! nice choice of bass too!!
