No...we dont have any dealers in NYC. 

Going to be in NYC next week.  Would love to visit Gadow dealers around midtown Manhattan.  Are there any?  Cheers!

Yep....It is an oldie but a real GOODIE.......I guess these controls vary a wee bit from the standard.....They may have been rewired slightly since built(?)....It seems to be a bit different than what Seymour Duncan outlines as "standard"..... But I think I have it psyched out. In any event, I will have fun playing with it. Have not been  (in my own mind) a bass player since about 1968, but I have fun with the gear within my own limited musical (alleged) abilities.....

Hey Don...boy, thats an old one!...Yes, the push/pull is the slap contour...then blend, treble, bass.

Sounds like it could be a Duncan pre, which would make the push/pull the slap contour.

I have been impressed enough with the guitars, that I thought I would try a bass as well. Looked for something on eBay, as there are no dealers anywhere near this neck of the woods......Just got it today and wonder if there is a "cheat sheet" for the many knobs.......I must be just a lazy guitar player.....

It is number 434 from 2006. Has Duncan bassline pickups and active tone circuit.

The front knob is clearly a master volume. It has a push/pull, but seems to be something different than a coil splitter----Maybe an active circuit bypass? (It seems to get louder when it is pulled out).

Then it has three small knobs, the middle one being on top of a wider control knob. All 4 knobs have a center detente. It SEEMS like the three smaller ones are, in order, treble, mid and bass, with a cut and boost function. (Though the center one SEEMS to have limited effect). That would make the larger (lower) knob be a blend between the two pickups(?)

And I understand there is a "slap contour", which is adjustable inside the bass.


I do know there are a lot of great sounds in there.......Just want to see if there is more info, esp if there is some added interactive effect of the controls. (I might have a better ear for it if I had a bass amp here to pug into).

Hey....This will help keep me busy while the custom order guitar moves along!

Don

This one is open to the public and unlike NAMM retailers will also be there selling.

Fantastic! Cheers Ryan! 

Here we go!

Poor man's NAMM?
