Hello, the Sadowsky is very lighter as a Sire, i prefer the Sado construction and the parts (Tunners, Bridge, Nut), the trussrod access is perfect and this bass is very confortable, i did the shield because my bass had a noise, the sire have 3 Bands EQ and the Sado just 2 Bands, if a need choise one will be a Sado.
