_Sweet Willie_ Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Dear Mr. Sadowsky, Hello again! Another year has passed us by. As you know from this thread last year, I have matured. Well, perhaps not matured, but changed (without attaching a value to that change in terms of personal growth or regression). Such is life, I guess, and I seem to keep on living it. I'm happy to share publicly, once again, my plea to you for a fine Sadowsky instrument as a birthday gift. And, for the second time, to make this request selflessly. I remain content with the current instruments in my, um, arsenal (a.k.a., stack in the basement that rotates on and off of the stand in the living room). That is, I make this request on behalf of The Unknown Bassist (i.e., TUB), a poor soul who toils hard and long in pursuit of excellence in playing, earning a mere pittance as paid work in local clubs dwindles and more hacks bastardize the voice of this great instrument in their home "studios," and yet still bringing smiles to faces and the shake to booties everywhere...serving the music, harmonizing and rhythmitizing: giving the world phat, fat low end luv. If there's anyone who might be worthy of a new Sadowsky bass, it would be TUB. TUB is unlikely to accumulate the scratch necessary to buy one, and faithfully hoists his or her axe upon shoulder, night after night, day after day. That axe might be a garage sale Ibanez with "chambering" courtesy of a termite or twenty. It might be a no-name plywood special. Perhaps it is a 2x4 plank fretless...not that I know anyone who might wield such a thing. Any way, it would be a great birthday gift to me if you found it within you to identify TUB and suprise him or her with a new Sadowsky. NYC or Metro, 4 or 5 strings, fretted or fretless -- it matters not. We all know that TUB will make it sing. Thanks for your kind consideration in this matter. I hope that the ongoing work in LIC is going well and that any challenges created by the transition out of Brooklyn have long ago been overcome. Peace. --Willie spreadluv Fanboy? Why, yes!

jeremy c Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 And what does Carey Nordstrand think about your annual plea, since you already have two of his instruments purchased at full list price? (or maybe less) Free download of my cd!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffinator Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 At some point, someone in the higher ups in the MP family needs to pull a string or two and make this happen for Brother William. Maybe not this year, maybe not next year, but perhaps on some significant anniversary of his annual letter to Santadowsky... A bunch of loud, obnoxious music I USED to make with friends.

kenfxj Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Mr. Sadowsky - may I call you Mr. Sadowsky? - If you grant William's humble request I will personally tell everyone I know what a swell person Roger Sadowsky is. Think of the publicity! You currently dominate late-night television with Messrs. Lee and Minor prominently playing your fine instruments. I will see to it that you also dominate my friends and family. :idk Think about it. This could be big for you. Push the button Frank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Sweet Willie_ Posted June 16, 2012 Author Share Posted June 16, 2012 For clarification...TUB is not a pseudonym for Sweet Willie. As Jeremy points out, I now have two instruments from Carey that I love. I really do feel like I'm all set. While I had thought TUB was a stand-in for a general population of players, apparently I was wrong. I see that TUB has wisely posted in this thread. Fascinating. Peace. --s-uu spreadluv Fanboy?
