Yeah, can you post a picture or two of the bridge/saddle so we know what we're talking about? If you mean that the saddle is *leaning* towards the nut that is not normal and can indeed cause...

If anyone here is still looking for a Sadowsky Jim Hall, I have a violin burst in excellent condition that I'm looking to offload. I would like to sell for $4700. It is in great shape, I just don't...

Sadowsky Jim Hall

Yes I've seen the 200 going for less than the 120s...the slimmer body and double cutaway is very interesting (though I would presumably still need a pickguard) and I'm not sure how much different...

Is the Bud 6 Really That Good?

I think they are open to setting the price within a small range. I'm not sure, though. I went along with their suggestions.

Thanks for this. I don't think I understand the difference between preamp gain and level control. Apparently, the level control doesn't affect the sound in the way a preamp gain control does. Is...

Is the Bud 6 Really That Good?

You literally copy and pasted my OP from this thread: Vintage D'Angelico electrics (jazzguitar.be) , but somehow seemed to get the facts wrong.
