Sibob Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Further to my thread reviewing a few basses I tried at The Gallery, I'm becoming increasingly interested in Sadowsky's. I tried and was very impressed by a Metro, and am hankering to try one at a gig, as we all know it varies greatly to shop/bedroom sound! Is anyone up for a little trip to one of my gigs, I'll buy you a couple of drinks, and I'll playing you're bass very carefully? lol Long shot, but worth a go! Cheers all Si p.s. Also one gig booked in Reading if that's workable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I've been to a couple of Si's gigs - he hasn't broken anything. Yet. It's always nice to hear your bass being played by someone else while you stand there with a pint in your hand thinking "[i]what a great tone[/i]".

phsycoandy Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 M8, gladly lend u one but im in Ipswich, which aint a lot of help! suffice to say if u want some slam in the back oomph with some dialable sparkly bits, Sadowskys do it brilliantly.

Sibob Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 Haha, thanks guys! Yeah I really liked the Metro I tried in the shop, but we all know that gigs are different kettles of fish A lot of people say that Sads really come alive in the mix, but I'm also a bit of an anti-active bass guy haha, so wanna see if I get get friendly with the preamp live as well.

phsycoandy Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 In my opinion "anti active" gives you no where to go! where a Saddie does it all, dont get me wrong I love old fenders et al, but live I need some urgency in the tone for covers stuff and I find passive just doesnt quite cut for me, tho I do dial it in via the bypass for a couple of ballads.

Sibob Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 Yeah I hear what you're saying. Although I'm not really one for changing EQ for specific songs, I tend to just move my hands around the bass to get different tones, and my passive Fenders have never left me wanting. This is more about wanting a new jazz bass, and not discounting Actives for the sake of it! . But even so, I still like simplicity, you're not going to catch me playing a J-retro anytime soon haha Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
