Toasted Posted January 27, 2009 Author Posted January 27, 2009 (edited) Thanks for the tip. Especially about calling FedEx once I've seen it's arrived. [quote name='CHRISDABASS' post='392658' date='Jan 27 2009, 12:47 PM']i hope it turns up this week for you man! if i were you i couldn't bare another weekend waiting![/quote] You're not the only one!

RayFW Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 Good stuff Joe. Not jealous at all. Honest. Quote
GreeneKing Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 (edited) Gorgeous! I know that the waiting thing for me was a kinda double edged. There was a long term simmering excitement that a very special bass was on the horizon. I miss that now and if I had the funds another ACG would be on order (How I'd get Alan to surpass this one I don't know). The other feeling was more 'Arghh- I want instant gratification and I want it NOW!!!. Peter - generally an instant gratification kinda guy. Edited January 28, 2009 by GreeneKing Quote
Merton Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Woooo! Bet you *really* can't wait any longer to get that in your mitts (as if not seeing the pic would have made the slightest difference to you)! Lovely Quote
birdy Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Gorgeous. Bet it will sound absolutely MASSIVE! Quote
niceguyhomer Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 GULP Joe...mucho grande GULPO actually Jealous of Preston Quote
BigRedX Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Can't go wrong with black-burst over flame! Quote
Bigwan Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 I've said it before and I'll say it again... Great ooga mooga! Quote
skelf Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Very nice Joe. Not generally a big fan of J Type basses but have to say I do like the Sadowsky basses especially when they look like that. Alan Quote
alexclaber Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 There's a lot to be said for that pickup placement if you're playing heavier music - and I can't help but thing of Jason Newsted's BEGOF Sadowskys when I see that bass. Rock on! Alex Quote
Toasted Posted January 28, 2009 Author Posted January 28, 2009 (edited) I do indeed play heavy music . My bass is certainly inspired by an appreciation of heavier players, Newsted, James Leech. What do you mean by BEGOF bass, Alex? Thanks all for the kind words. I can't wait to get it. Edited January 28, 2009 by Toasted Quote

My bass is certainly inspired by an appreciation of heavier players, Newsted, James Leech.[/quote] Despite my techy ramblings and the general ska/funkness (aka BritSkunk) of my band I do love my rock and metal, though I'm particularly choosy about the latter. With either both pickups in series or the bridge pickup soloed by RIM Custom 5 does a mean job of blowing the doors off in a rock manner, though I'll sometimes solo the neck pickup and downpluck heaviliy a la Geezer. Am loving what the low B can do in a heavier context, it is SO mighty. Recently I've been hearing so many ramblings that "wood doesn't matter" but why is it that people will pay so much more for a Sadowsky than many other Fender-alikes. Because Roger Sadowsky really understands wood - not the species, the individual pieces and how they go together to make a truly toneful bass. A true artist of bass making, up there with Michael Tobias and Ken Smith IMO! [quote name='Toasted' post='393785' date='Jan 28 2009, 04:13 PM']What do you mean by BEGOF bass, Alex? [/quote] Oh no, don't tell me you've missed out! Sadowsky have a "Buy Eight, Get One Free" policy, which Jason Newsted was the first to take advantage of. Alex Quote
ari Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 this looks really nice. I wonder how those pickups sound compared to the standard sadowsky soapbars? Quote
Mikey R Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 (edited) I had a go on the Nordy bass on the Bassdirect stand at Bassday, the pink one with the fat singles. I was just so impressed with the tone with the bridge pickup solo'd - Good choice! Next four string Jazz I get will have a big split single on the bridge with an overwound humbucker at the neck, placed just like this Sadowski, That should get just about any rock tone out there! ohmy.gif Hmm, youve given me GAS.

[/quote] It'll be about 2 weeks probably, so that's a week tomorrow. By the way do you know how much you're going to be charged when it comes into the country? Quote
Toasted Posted February 13, 2009 Author Posted February 13, 2009 (edited) It's been here since last Thursday 5th Feb. It's everything I wanted and more. Edited February 13, 2009 by Toasted Quote
JPJ Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 [quote name='Toasted' post='393405' date='Jan 28 2009, 09:11 AM'] *sproing*[/quote] Very very tasty. That's the finish I have in mind for my latest project build, though I doubt I'll achieve Sadowsky quality Quote
