AndyTravis Posted July 22, 2020 Author Posted July 22, 2020 Sorry. Sorting two preteens who have hit puberty within a minute of each other and are fighting over the statement... ”most of my friends are girls” Ella is a girl. Dan claims that she’s made a sexist comment. 20 minutes they’ve rowed with each other.... Utter Knobheads. 🙄 Anyhow, @LukeFRC here we go... Quote

Love these basses - I will say while there’s a bit more control over the sound, there’s not much in it with stock vs £500 worth of electronic wizardry. Will try to knock a video comparison up tonight when the warring factions have gone to bed early. 1 Quote

We have two preteen girls and it's awful: one is Kevin the Teenager and the other is manic and angry all the time. That's a nice bass - what's under the square pickscratchguardplate section? Quote
AxelF Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 Damn they are two fine looking basses! Gorgeous colour combos. Congrats! 1 Quote

AndyTravis Posted July 22, 2020 Author Posted July 22, 2020 Debating the pickguard being simplified into a one piece. It looks a little clunky with all the extra screws...dunno. Quote

AndyTravis Posted July 22, 2020 Author Posted July 22, 2020 Well My learned friend... Sadowsky Pre battery lasts years. If it were to fail...it has a very smart pull pot on the tone control which makes it completely passive and still has a tone control. so while I see your point...it has its own “airbag” built in. 1 Quote

It’s a Marcus Miller jazz - it the pickguard that is making it look a little clunky- not the screws that at least give the pickguard a useful reason for being that shape otherwise what you are describing is a blue Sadowsky jazz with 70s spacing and a maple neck!

This. IMHO the can be no doubt what it is at it's core, albeit the guts have been swapped out. 1 Quote

I used to call my original MM “The Shittenbacker” on account of the pickguard bearing a fleeting resemblance. Then I owned a Ric. And then I called my Marcus Miller “that nice jazz bass which plays and sounds good” 1 Quote
