AndyTravis Posted July 22, 2020 Author Share 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...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyTravis Posted July 22, 2020 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
