NBD... New Bass Day

[Juggernaut]

So got a new bass today, have always been a big fan of Sadowsky basses, but were always just out of reach, they are not cheap, they released a new import model and I couldn't resist, the new RSD Metroexpress line, made in china at the Framus/Warwick factory. gotta say for the price, I'm VERY pleased. Just thought I'd share.

It's missing two strings.

It's missing two strings.

Maybe one.

That's cool! I hadn't seen those.

 

[dainbramage0]

nice and simple, i dig it. cool color too. 34" scale or 35"?

 

[Juggernaut]

34" standard J bass... yeah I really like the color too, thanks.

 

[brett8388]

Classy choice

 

[Devin]

Fuck yeah!

I have one of the Chinese made Warwick Rockbass Corvette $$'s and it's super fucking nice....comes stock with the German Warwick hardware and MEC pickups, and has the tightest/most flawless bolt-on neck joint of any guitar I've ever seen (seriously)

I figured it would be great when I ordered it but when I received it it blew me away honestly.

I'm sure that Sadowsky is on that level too

They had some QC issues that Roger had to address with the first couple runs, only real issue I found on mine was the string retainer is off. I ordered a hipshot retainer to replace it. other than that and some minor set-up, she's perfect. I'm really digging the whole thing, plays like butter, tone is badass. I'm extremely happy with it. Can't imagine how amazing the NYC models are.

Yay! A bass thread!

I haven't played one of those, but the color is tits. I've been surprised by some of the stuff China puts out at times. It all depends on quality control, I guess.

 

[Juggernaut]

It really is pretty damned nice for the price, a lil set-up and it's pretty much ready to go...

 

[psychodave]

Nice. Congrats. What amp are you using with it?

 

[Juggernaut]

Rottingcorpses Darkglass Alpha/Omega, it's actually at another guys right now, so haven't got to try it through that, right now, I'm using it through the Kemper.

Nice. I’ve got the Darkglass Microtubes V2. Killer amps

Yeah those amps are amazing, punchy as hell.

I run it through an Aguilar SL410 and it’s amazing how huge it sounds

I'm using a simple lil Avatar 2x12, and LOVE IT. Got a soft spot for 12s with bass.
