Ok, the Jeff Beck show aired at 11AM today.
I saw aboput 30 minted of the recording so far.
Very impressive, a lot of good characteristiscs in how she plays.
Very musical, great feel. very reliable, Beck can vamp without any
worries abouot
getting back to where the song is.
Extremely nice tone. Very deep.
QUite a good bass she is playing
A Sadowsky, minimum price $2,800 just for a Japanese made model
probably a $6,000 or more USA bass, so it better sound good.
Its amaziong how many boutiques basses I really don't like.
So, it appears that it is made to replicate a 70's jazz bass.
Now, I never heard a jazz bass sound that good, go so deep,
nor have a sweet tone *up the neck (jaco;s did
have a sweet high end, nothing special in the bottom.)
so, I liked her, she has potentail to make my list


Instrument buyers are gullibards.

Sadowsky basses and guitars are built out of customiized CNC-house
commodity (i.e. Fender spec) necks and bodies. I don't think they even
do their own finish work, only assembly, fret dress and so forth. IOW
you might as well buy Warmoth and put it together yourself, havng a
pro do a final setup.
