Sadowsky
Roger Sadowsky established his reputation for outstanding restoration and repairs on guitar and basses almost 40 years ago. In the ’80s, when the price of vintage became out of reach, he started to build instruments from scratch for working musicians, incorporating all improvements he had developed over the years including experience from building acoustic guitars.
He also worked with legendary musicians like Will Lee, Marcus Miller, Verdine White (to name a few) to create unique instruments with a legendary sound heard on numerous recordings.
Roger Sadowsky is today one of the most respected instrument builders in the world. At the head of an experienced team, he continuously works on improvements and innovation to deliver the best instruments for his customers.
Making music with a Sadowsky instrument can only result in complete satisfaction.
All NYC basses are born with the classic, near-legendary onboard Sadowsky preamp. It features Volume, Balance and VTC (Vintage Tone Control), which basically is a cut-off that works both in active and passive modes if you pull out the VTC. Further, there is a stack knob with the boost-only Bass and Treble, meaning that when dialled all the way down, the EQ is flat. With the VTC, Bass and Treble you get a ton of possibilities to shape your tone without getting lost. On top of that you have a mid-boost preamp on this Will Lee model where you can choose 4 different frequencies via dip switch on the back of the bass to get that extra punch.
