Al Krow Posted March 30, 2020 Posted March 30, 2020 I really do think it helps having an extra string to your bow. They make for really good thumb rests, as you know. I've got myself blood*y scouring the web for white Sad PJ5s now... 1 Quote

But tbf what he actually said was that [Sads are]Ā "NotĀ one for the bedroom bassist..." I take that to mean he thinks Sads are not a suitable bass if you're not in a band and just want to play it at home.Ā I just find that hard to believe.Ā At low volume the scooped sound is pleasing but scooped soundĀ with bands struggles to cut in the mixĀ can sound muddy and incoherent unless slapping. with Sadowsky just crank Bass and Treble at 'Bedroom Levels' and it will have a more Bedroom /pleasing sound. In live gig situation leave it closer to flat so mids are prominent in mix. May sound to middy where you stand [or in Bedroom] but the audience will hear a more balanced and coherent tone and the reason Sadowsky's are so popular in 'Boutique' Bass Land. Lots of Amps, Basses, Strings have built in Scoop for point of sale purpose, why many have learned to crank mids live those who haven't learned have one note tone sent to audience. Go listen for yourself Quote
