Still the best 4 string I've ever played and would regret it if I sold it! I'll bring it to a south east/London bash some time! I sometimes wish I’d shown the same resilience with my old Roscoe Beck signature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyTravis Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I had an RBv - was around 9.5/10lbs. What a bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezbass Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I keep looking at this one, I really don’t need it, especially as I don’t play fivers these days. However, GAS is a cruel mistress. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Krow Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Mistresses are an expensive hobby at the best of time. Particularly precarious during lockdown. Just sayin'. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therealting Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 New (to me) 1996 Sadowsky NYC Modern 5! Currently outfitted with Seymour Duncan / Fodera ‘NYC’ pickups and a Glockenklang 2-band pre. There was some discolouration and screw hole repair damage from a previous pickguard, so I made and installed a pickguard to cover it up and I think it looks way better (before and after photos in the post). Run passive here, outer coils selected, blended towards neck, tone flat. It also came with the original EMG 40Js and the Sadowsky pre, which might find its way in again at some point. I have to say it already sounds great as it is. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 (edited) With those pickups, you have a Roger meets Vinny; that truly is an NYC bass. What's the bridge on that BTW? Nice groove too. Edited May 7, 2020 by ezbass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice groove too. It’s an Omega. I’ve never been a fan of the Badass bridge look, but I’m going to live with the bass as it is for a while and see how I gel with it before I start spending money on mods. If I really love it, I might get it refinished. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
