The bass was obviously built brilliantly, the ash of the body and the lacquer that finished it were a joy to look at & hold, the wet-look of the body was a stark contrast to the neck though, which was a very plain maple finished in, what I'm guessing, a satin finish, almost looked unfinished, very 'matt'. The bass sounded fantastic though, it took me about 1 minute to find a tone that was very useable, thick yet growly. The preamp was extremely versatile (aside from one dodgy pot) and overall I was very very impressed. I'd be interested in trying it in a gig setting, because depending on it's sound in the mix, I'd definitly consider one.......and I hate active basses lol. £1799 though.....harsh[/quote] Sadowskys are great basses and, as it's been said many times , it's in the mix where the Sadowskies really shine so, if you liked it when you tried it, you'll be pleasantly surprised how good they sound in a band situation.

I'm thinking of running my effects into a second amp, mainly for distorted sounds. I'm currently using a Classic SVT through a Bergantino NV610. What's the best way to do it? Which amp should be enough to pair with my current amp? Guitar or Bass amp? What's the difference between using a second amp for effects or just one amp with a blender pedal? Any experiences? I'm a bit lost here so any input/advice from you guys would be highly appreciate it. Thanks!

Last night I headed down to the Concorde2 in Brighton to see Skunk Anansie. It was a warm up gig for their upcoming tour. The venue was packed as you'd expect and the atmosphere was amazing. All I can say it's...Wow!!! I was blown away, they are in top form! Although the sound could have been better, they played really well and it was a gig to remember. A couple of videos, not mine, here...not very good sound though: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDHOuBEJZeM"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDHOuBEJZeM[/url] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJRg26RSLhI&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJRg26RSLhI...feature=related[/url] Cass is an awesome bass player, I love his playing, very tasteful basslines and very tasteful use of effects...He's pedalboard was huge! Twice the one from Ace (guitar). Basswise, he used a Musicman double pickup, not sure if it was a Stingray or a Sterling, you can see it quite a lot on the second video I posted. He also used a blue Lakland Darryl Jones 5 string with rosewood fingerboard for a couple of songs. If you have the oportunity to catch them on tour, don't miss it!

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='598790' date='Sep 14 2009, 10:31 PM']I just got a message back from them saying that they have someone now.[/quote] Really? What a shame! I was hoping to, at least, do the audition but I sent them two messages since they placed the ad and I didn't get any reply at all.

I'm a bit late to the party but, please, could you add me to the list too? I'd like to try it! Thanks!

[quote name='cetera' post='559152' date='Aug 3 2009, 12:56 PM']Anyone got a Berg NV610 and/or a 70's/80's SVT head they can bring along? How about a GK 1001RB or 2001RB? [/quote] Not sure yet if I can make it but, if I can, I'll bring along my Bergantino NV610 and my SVT Classic head, sorry not 70's/80's though

[quote name='YouMa' post='557747' date='Aug 1 2009, 01:08 PM']...the geddy lee jazz is very thin necked.[/quote] +1 I think the Geddy Lee is the bass with the thinnest neck I've ever seen, it's a shaved down jazz bass neck...very comfortable and easy to play.

I also tried swapping necks on my P and jazz basses recently and I came across the same problem but, in my case, it was all down to string height, adjusting the bridge saddles solved the problem.
