birdy Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Had a look and couldn't see a thread dedicated to SAD's and I have just got my 6th one (cheers Trev) and so thought I would start it with details of my new delivery. Sonic Blue MV5 with VTC soon to be fitted. Sounds and plays great, I think the quality of the metro range is improving over time although the ones I have had before were damn good. Here are a few pics, will post more of the old ones I have had later. In the meantime show us yours!!!

birdy Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 Here's a couple of pics of my first ever Sadowsky bought in Jan 2005. I think it was a 1994 model. [attachment=18162:0f_12_sb.jpg] [attachment=18163:82_12_sb.jpg] And Here's another of me playing the third one that I owned which I got in a trade with our very own GreeneKing. This one was a real beauty but like many other things is long gone. [attachment=18164:stevebass3.JPG] More to follow..... Lovely basses you have Chris. Can't make up my mind which I prefer.

The picture was from August 2006 if I remember correctly. Definately prefer EBS with both the Sadowsky and the GB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdy Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 Here's one of my personal favourites. Sadowsky number 2 was a metro the same spec as this. Last I heard WaveyDavy had this bass and was gigging it. Bassaussie also had it for a while and it was great.

eude Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Since getting my Shuker J Bass, I'm getting the horn for all things Jazz Bass and the Sadowsky basses are certainly the daddy where Jazz Basses are concerned. I'm not sure that subscribing to this topic is a particularly good idea... Nice basses guys! Eude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phsycoandy Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Sh#t why do I sell all my best basses, this one paid for last years holiday, and did she thank me, i'll let you figure that out, one of the best basses ive had, and a bit of PJ hybrid inbreeding!

OutToPlayJazz Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Yes, it's about time there was a Sadowsky thread. I'd still like one myself, but I'm becoming more and more one-branded these days! Could even be a worthy competitor to the mighty Status thread Rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried a fantastic trans white at the Gallery last August and loved it and asked Alex how much and when he checked it was actually sold and they hadn't taken it off display. The rumour is that theres a P/J 5 string metro in the pipeline so that should something worth waiting for! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
