Roger, you should remove the link to Talkbass.

I Just read all of Roger's link to Talkbass (OY! NOT AGAIN!). I feel dirty. What the F's wrong with those people? It's always the same thing with most upscale basses when you have some bozo arguing that he would never spend over $300 for a bass, and his Squire (It's ALWAYS a Squire) is just as good as your Brooklyn built bass, and you must be an idiot for spending that much. Then they all come out of the woodwork, like roaches, and attack. At least this time, they were talking about some pricier basses in comparison. In all the discussions I've been on, I've never insulted or talked down to anyone because of how much they could afford to spend on an instrument. I don't get why the opposite takes place every day. There's a simple answer, in my opinion. If you don't think a Sadowsky is the bass for you, DON'T BUY ONE! That's why there's probably over a hundred builders out there. And, tah leaves more Sadowskys for the rest of us! OK, now I have to take a shower and hug my Tiger's Eye NYC for a while. Rock on Roger.

This is the internet, and there will always be haters.  "Haters gonna hate", but they will sadly never realize the joy of playing a boutique bass.  These people have never taken the time to educate themselves on the many reasons a Sadowsky built instrument will be one you'd never want to replace.

You can explain it to them, but you can't understand it for them.
