Progressive metal and politics
Thanks for the discussion dudes. Here's how it worked out:
I'm such a bad bass player that I'm probably going to bow-out from doing a NBD, but I dig it. Just seems like a really solid jazz style, really hefty bridge. This one is kind of funny -- I saw this on digimart maybe 2 years ago. Not "a bass like this" -- this exact bass, custom in burgundy mist metallic, loved it so much I thought about buying it. Funny to see it pop up used while I was on the prowl for something of this sort. I didn't get the chance to check out the Sadowsky metro stuff in detail, but this is alder, the Sadowskys are mostly ash, so I guess I'll still have an excuse in the future.
Also, the new Stingray Special HH/HS are crazy. I didn't like the aesthetic but tonally they were great, very versatile, could cop a lot of the jazz tones + usual stingray stuff, weighs the same or less than this. Definitely something I'll look for in the future.
