I spent many nights thinking about if I should by a Sadowsky or not. Many of my favourite bass players and bands (AC/DC, Bon Jovi, Metallica) play Sadowskys and as my band is mainly covering songs of them, we all are looking for the best tone possible. When I first played a Sadowsky at a local music store over here in Germany it waas as if I had been hit by 1000 Pounds of energy. I was suprised how great the neck feels, how loud it is, even without any amp.

So I decided to order one from the U.S. I decided to take a 24-Fret 5 String because it has all opportunitys a player can want. I also wanted a superb finish and orderd transparent `59 Sunburst because it looks really great especially on stage with all the lights and stuff.

And now, 6 Months later, I recieved the greatest instrument on the planet. It sounds perfect with the preamp that I already own for three years. Even small amps (for example me 15W Peavey Amp) make it sound absolutely great. Its perfect for playing solos beyond the 15th fret on the G-String, but also perfect on the first three frets !

All in all, I can say that IŽll never need another bass!
