    Bought a '66 jazz bass from Alex. Communication was great from the beginning and swiftly reached a deal. We met in person to do a quick inspection. Alex is a not only a friendly guy but also a vintage bass connoisseur so we also had a good chat about vintage basses. Cheers, Arnold

    Did mention some were from the previous seller :). Let me known if it's an issue for you and I'll change them.

    Selling my superb USA MTD 535-21. 5th MTD I've had. Amazing crafstmanship and playability but I'm more partial to Fender type basses. *Ash body *Flame maple top *Maple neck *Rosewood fingerboard *Zero fret *Honeyburst *Bartolini pickups and preamp (proprietary) *3.8kg / 8.4lb. Lightweight particularly for an ash body. *Almost mint condition. and the new cost would be £7,000 / 8.000€ I travel regularly between UK and the EU so can potentially ship from either location. I prefer a straight sale but might be open to the right trade ONLY on Sadowsky NYC 5, Stenback, Fbass 5, Fender jazz no later than 1966 or Fodera single coil 5 with money either way. This is my feedback and pics below. Used some of the previous seller's pics too and can send more detailed ones if needed.

    Body should be ash as Metros are not customisable. Is it still available?

    No. I was pointing to the video for sound references. Mine has the exact same specs but is an October 2022 model and I have currently in the US.

    Yes, correct, and as such, reflected in a much lower price than it would cost to buy one directly and ship and import it to the UK/Europe. I might be able to deliver it myself within the UK in a couple of months if someone is happy to buy it and wait.

    Hope you find your bass. Hermes (now Evri) also stole a Sadowsky bass from me. They've been completely unresponsive and difficult to reach and unfortunately the seller, Bax-shop.co.uk, has been completely uncooperative. I'll create a separate topic on it. Good luck!

    I've now checked and it's around $200 for 3-4 day shipping with insurance on top. Payment via bank transfer or Paypal Friends & Family.

    It's supply and demand, basic economics, determining current prices. How much will it cost you to have one in 3 years is irrelevant if you want one today. It's not too different from buying a vintage Fender (how do you determine "value") and I presume it's going to be the same for Stenback basses - most people will be unable to get accepted on the current 4-5 year waiting list. Think it's a very fair price compared to the ones on offer in the US. Less than what it would take to ship and import one into Europe in 3 years time. I did have a Jazz 5 from them which was very nice, although I do think their P basses are their top product.

    Wow, 3 years already!

    I’ll PM you once I have the info.

    3.8kg/8.3lbs. Nut width 42.5mm, modelled after JY’s own early 60s P bass.

    Offering my Moollon P-Classic bass as thinning out my P bass collection (I mainly play jazz basses). These are usually going for over $4k in the US and have a 3-4 year waiting list for new orders. Considered by many to be the best substitutes for pre-CBS basses (together with Olinto) at a fraction of the price; used by players such as Tim Lefebvre, Michael League, Scott Divine, Richard Bona, and Jonathan Maron. Everything is hand made and in-house including the pickups, nitro finishing, hardware using the same 1960s alloy, etc. 3.8kg / 8.3lbs Full specs here http://www.moollon.com/front/product/product_list.php?code=003 Have had it since new. It's in very good condition and has not been played much. The ultra thin nitro finish is starting to check/crack in some places as expected, no scratches - same as in vintage nitro painted Fenders. I'm looking for a straight sale only / no trades. My feedback post below:

    Hear you, but I’m pretty confident that it’s Brazilian rosewood. I just took some pictures of the fingerboard in good light. Your Paduk fingerboard is lighter coloured than mine with a different pattern. I'm attaching some Brazilian rosewood reference - of course it varies and there are different types and hues. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalbergia_nigra#/media/File:Rio-Palisander,_dunkel_Holz.JPG

    This is my L series 1965 Fender P bass This bass is simple the best P of its age I have ever come across. Not only is is a really good one in terms of aesthetics but its got an incredible action and its super light and resonant. 3.5 Kg / 7.8 Lbs Everything is original down to the last screw and it's all complete including hard case. The sunburst is bright, the frets are original and in great condition having been on flats its whole life. The fretboard is something else. Gorgeous figured rosewood and there is a bit of flame in the neck. This bass, given its quality could sell for bit more but think I'm being realistic. It has one chip in the lower horn at the back and flaking of the chrome on one knob. Other than that a few minor dinks and rubs but nothing through the paint. There's a bit of checking on the back of the headstock. Plenty of feedback https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/185975-feedback-for-arnoldoc/?tab=comments#comment-1793647

    Sold my Fbass to Will in the Netherlands. Second transaction I've done with him. Great communication coming to a quick agreement and funds were sent immediately. Highly recommended!

    Not sure, already had the Badass bridge when I bought. If interested I can check for you once I’m back home on Saturday
  21. Arnoldoc
    Would think morado is a lighter colour? It was sold to me second hand as rosewood but happy for you to check with Roger.
  22. Arnoldoc
    Upgraded to a 19mm Badass V bridge; Still have the original Sadowsky bridge, also standard 19mm. Yes, that's the one.

    Selling my USA (not Satin) made Sadowsky. Early 2000s model in very good condition with with some wear and a few small marks in the finish and headstock (pictured) which is reflected in the price. The bass plays beautifully and can be setup with very low action if desired. Lots of fret life left. *Ash body *Rosewood fingerboard *Single Coil pickups *Sadowsky 2 band preamp with VTC - Volume, Pan, Vintage tone control, Stacked Treble/Bass *3.9kg/8.6lb *Comes in a Sadowsky case. Bass originally built without a pick guard but I have a tortoiseshell one as in the picture. I didn't want to make the screw holes yet for flexibility. Comes with an additional Sadowsky bridge too. Get an NYC Sadowsky for the price of a new Metro. Not looking for trades. Only exception a Stenback 5 + cash your way or a Fender Pino. Feedback thread below.

    Indeed! Only selling as I'm mainly a Jazz bass player (and occasionally P basses).
  25. Arnoldoc
    Yes, thanks. Lots of offers and should be owing a deal soon.
