molan Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 These 70’s UV models sound fantastic. Probably the heaviest of the modern Sadowsky range but they really nail that classic late 70’s J bass tone. I was at a big show a few years back and a top player’s bass hadn’t arrived in time. He had a choice of a wide array of instruments from all sorts of people and he chose out one of these because he said he just knew it was going to sound exactly how he wanted it to. He played it on his clinic and he was right - suited him perfectly and sounded killer! 1

jazzmanb Posted April 9, 2019 Author Posted April 9, 2019 As said,i've rarely used the active Treble and Bass boost .Prefer the boost tap on my Tonebone or just digging in as i'm a light player
