I haven't even asked the price but mine will be a bargain then!

Is tipping each on its side and stacking too obvious?

Has anyone owning a Dano (or similar) ever replaced their tuners? Mine are about the only thing that lets it down; they don't slip like crazy or anything but when compared to some of my basses with 'proper' tuners, they aren't as good! Thinking of fitting some Spertzle type (I have them on my Bolin basses and they are great) but wondering if anyone has direct experience?

Nothing on their site?

So you are basing choices/decisions on weight and or castors? Personally the cabs are so different tonally that I'm struggling to understand your short list.

What would have happened if you or someone else in the band had a prior commitment on 7th March? Would the person taking that booking in your band have to ring the venue/person back and find an alternative date? Other systems mean that whole bands can book out dates that they are unavailable which negates having to email each individual in the band to inform them or check on dates.

'Volume' is output gain and adds nothing to preamp, so in this instance doesn't change the tonal characteristics... it just makes whatever you have set the input gain at, louder.

I'd be more concerned about security; assuming your car isn't garaged... which nobody's ever is. The number of times I read on social media about musicians having their gear stolen from their cars/vans is frankly worrying. I'd like to bet that within a 10 mile radius of me I hear of at least 2 or 3 thefts per year (from cars not property). Even if it is a minor risk, I'd not want the inconvenience and cost of replacing locks and windows. Here endeth the sermon.

Google Calendar all day long. Not fussy nor complicated, easily accessed, read, edited by either one person in the band or all of the band (latter is preferable). We are each responsible for putting in any of our 'unavailable' dates, which means that if any one of us gets offered a gig, you simply look at the calendar, if it isn't booked out or someone unavailable then that person takes the gig and puts it in the calendar (along with time/fee/contact name and number for the venue)... simple as! You automatically get sent emails of updates that are put in the calendar, one person puts a booking in and everyone gets an email... up to the individual if they read it or not but it is there. You can set automatic reminders for weeks/days/hours before the gig, which is handy to remind you to send out posters.

The logo is a non-issue... you can buy Fender ones off ebay!

Looks like a Sadowsky!

Bought Kev's Maruszczyk bass (what a beaut) and a more straightforward transaction you could not have. Bass delivered as stated and well packaged. All the best Kev.

I may well be about to take delivery of this very bass! I believe it has had an owner since you tried it but I'm confident it's the same one.

I was 'twitchy' when that came up as I've always fancied trying one and I couldn't decide if I wanted the bling variant! Glad it is back home!

Back up to £317 on Amazon!

It seems it is indeed one of Howie's!

Think of it as an amp extension! I put mine on top of my amp and run a patch lead from pedal to amp. A used pedal will cost you less than new pups, with the added bonuses of a quality DI, drive feature if you want to add a bit of dirt and you can plug in any bass.

I run mine through a Tech 21 EQ/DI pedal... boosts the level and you can dial in EQ.

Still got mine, never been worn! Hmmmm future classic, wonder what it'll be worth in the future.

Oddly enough I did a dep tonight which I accepted not knowing the full set list but I was confident it would be loaded with usual pub classics (standing in for Wateroftyne) and I could learn anything I didn't already know easily enough. No rehearsal but good coms from the band about keys and any variations and it was a great gig. I've done dep gigs (regular rock/pop covers) with as little as 2 hours notice! I'd not blindly offer to do a gig in a genre I wasn't familiar with or comfortable picking up easily... so anything Jazz is out!

I'm feeling the Warwick positivity people! 😂

"Sadowsky concentrate on making instruments, Warwick concentrate on making sales." Could just as easily be... Warwick concentrate on making instruments, Sadowsky concentrate on making sales. Time will tell I suppose.

Sadowsky has 3 price bands at present and Roger will be concentrating on few basses built by a handpicked team... sounds OK. TBH BO neck Fender copies can be made in any guitar factory, in any country in the world; iirc Warwick have some state of the art CNC machinery, so this bodes well.
