if you ever saw the videos on it all over Youtube 🙈

There's a school of thought existing right now that Contemporary Christian Music itself is evil. That's a rabbit hole I'm avoiding like the plague. I turn up,play bass and collect my cheque. Simple 😊

400 miles to pick up my Warwick Streamer Stage 2 Broadneck 5. Best bass decision I've ever made especially seeing what they cost nowadays.

Turns up often in Christian Contemporary Music. I mainly play in church.

Yes depending on the band leader and the genre it can happen. As mentioned previously I used random modes just as an example of what can happen. The band leader knew I understood what he was communicating so that might have been it.

I am currently working with a lead guitarist who uses modes,he's not "obsessed" with them however. I picked random modes just to illustrate my point so substitute Locrian with any of the others. Knowing modes has helped me in scenarios where I'm asked to improvise over changes and it's helped to steer me towards notes that nearly always sound contextually correct. Only sharing my limited practical experience of them.

It wouldn't hurt to learn the Greek names of the modes and shapes at some point. If you're playing for example in C Major but the bandleader wants you to play the intro as two bars of F Lydian and then two more in D Dorian before vamping on B Locrian and shouts that out to you,your fingers will automatically know where to go and what notes are available within those modes.

So no help then 😂

I have two Warwick basses with wenge fretboards and would describe them as "articulate" No idea if that's the wenge or other factors. Someone has a Streamer Broadneck on ebay for sale at the minute (I also have one) with the fretboard wood being described as rosewood. I messaged them letting them know it was wenge a few weeks ago but was ignored and the description still says rosewood. I guess I was surprised an actual owner of one would make that error but hey...

Pronounced wen-gay apparently. Does that help? 😆

It would appear then that Sadowsky adopted the 4+1 headstock before Fender did.I've always preferred that personally over the 5 in-line design.

Sorry to dig this up again Kev on a Friday afternoon but what about nuances like pickup placement? Can you or anybody explain how acoustically you can tell if it's in P,J or Musicman bridge position without plugging in? I've not lost any sleep over this but I've just been in Andertons and played a bass acoustically until a staff member handed me a cable so I could,you know,plug in,and it came back to me 😂

It's definitely Marcus mate I was just messing about. What's not clear on the video to me however is the headstock logo. Doesn't mean it's not a Sadowsky though.
