[/quote] NYC current stock is here: [url="http://www.sadowsky.com/stock/nyc_b_is.html"]http://www.sadowsky.com/stock/nyc_b_is.html[/url] Metros (including lots of WL in plain colours) here: [url="http://www.sadowsky.com/stock/metro_b_is.html"]http://www.sadowsky.com/stock/metro_b_is.html[/url] You have to email them to get a price list though

[quote name='Toasted' post='933587' date='Aug 23 2010, 01:12 PM']The turquoise with blocks is too OTT for me, but the solid blue with the plain fretboard is fantastic. I'd love it.[/quote] My guess is that they'll ask $4,250 ish for it - unfortunately that's probably over £3,500 in the UK I'm sure Kevin is waiting for your email though

[quote name='Toasted' post='933489' date='Aug 23 2010, 11:43 AM']Shut up Barrie![/quote] One of the 'stock' items has sold already! but there is still another one available. . . I tell you - Roger should have me on commission!

Sadowsky have some in stock at the moment I think

And sold - heading to the North West very soon indeed

So - bit of a tough call this one but I have too many basses and a, rather expensive, Fodera obsession that's haunting me at the moment! I bought this fairly recently from the original owner who specified it from new. It really is a stunning instrument and by far the nicest Sadowsky I've ever played (I've owned two other NYC basses). In fact a friend of mine who is a fabulous player and a full pro musician tried it and said it was not only the best Sadowsky he'd ever played but tat it was the best bass he'd tried this year - this is praise indeed as he plays a lot of basses, lol. I used it one gig and the sound engineer said it was the clearest most defined bass she'd ever heard in the venue. She's a very good bass player as well! For anyone who doesn't know about the Will Lee models there's a stack of information at the Sadowsky site: [url="http://www.sadowsky.com/instruments/will_lee_model.html"]http://www.sadowsky.com/instruments/will_lee_model.html[/url] Also a review from Bass Player here: [url="http://www.bassplayer.com/article/sadowsky-will-lee/June-2010/115973"]http://www.bassplayer.com/article/sadowsky...une-2010/115973[/url] The two key differences are that it has a slightly narrower nut width than a regular Sadowsky J neck and, the big departure for Roger Sadowsky, it has a switchable, adjustable, mid boost. The neck width means it's super fast to play and the simple little mid-boost means you can really change the core sound at the flick of a switch. Like almost all current NYC basses it's feather light - really a perfect gigging bass because of this! The bass looks like it's more or less new with no visible marks that I can see. It comes with a Sadowsky hard/soft case plus all of the accessories like the little set-up kit, cleaning fluid, polishing cloth etc plus all the original paperwork. I think in general the Will Lee models retail for about £500 more than standard NYC basses & base price on one of these from the Sadowsky shop is now over $4,000 and I was quoted about $4,750 to replicate this particular version with the figured maple top and birdseye maple board (which is really very nice indeed!). With shipping and import duties that would make a new one of these, in this spec, close to £4,000 in the UK. Definitely not to be confused with the Metro models that have started to appear at around the £2,350 mark! Happy to ship anywhere really:) I have quite a few photos but these two from the previous owner are better quality
