This really is a beautiful bass, stunning to look at in the flesh and a great range of tones. Only traded by me because I was moving over to 5 strings. Here's a couple of, rather tacky, pics of it in action Dunno who that dodgy looking geezer is playing it though. . .

Is this now residing at the Gallery? If not then it has a twin

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='388109' date='Jan 21 2009, 11:39 PM']Indeed - he was the original owner. He imported a pair from new at the time that US Sadowskys were nowhere to be seen on our shores. (I took the original pics for him!)[/quote] And a very nice chap too Great collection of basses as well, some real jaw dropping guitars on his walls!

Very close to a trade on this so this is my last plug to see if anyone fancies making a cash offer. If anyone is really serious I would take a reasonable deposit & lock it away for a while before completion

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='386360' date='Jan 20 2009, 04:30 PM']Whats weird is I look at that and think 'that looks awesome', I have a Jazz in the same colour and don't think it looks very good.[/quote] i've always quite liked LP blue as a stock Fender colour but I do think it suits the slimmed down lines of the DJ better than some other basses. Not sure entirely why but I always prefer Jazz & p basses in solid colours or sunburst, I've never thought that the sparkle finishes work as well. However some of them look great on a Strat - well, I think so anyway

I'm on a roll with pics now - here's a few more

This might be a decent guide to what was being asked for one last autumn: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=30494&hl=wal"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=30494&hl=wal[/url] Bear in mind that the £ would ahve been stronger against the dollar then. Given the generally depressed state of the £ it would be a good time to sell in mainland Europe or the States

Couple of requests for more pics so here's some taken today. I have larger higher rez versions if anyone want to see them

[quote name='stonecoldbass' post='385264' date='Jan 19 2009, 07:08 PM']Did this bass previously belong to a certain Gil from Dunfermline? Would you be interested in a trade plus cash for a metro rv5 sadowsky?! c[/quote] Previous owner was in Stafford and I think he'd had it a fair while. I'm not an expert on the Metro range so not sure which one the RV is? Zap me a PM and we can exchange email address so you can maybe post me some pics?

Ok, so here's another DJ4 up for grabs. I really like this one but have moved over to 5 strings soon after taking delivery of this so it'snot going to get used much. I have a couple of potential trade options kicking around but nothing confirmed yet so thought I'd see if there's any interest in an outright sale or alternative trades. I imported this from the USA last year and it's only been tried out at one rehearsal since. Hence it's totally unmarked and looks like it's just left the factory I specified a Lakland USA hard case which is much higher quality than standard and set me back an additional £100. I relaise a lot of people don't get that excited about cases but it's certainly the nicest case I've ever owned & looks really cool - well, in my opinion anyway! I also had a set of Aero pickups professionally installed at a cost of about £75 as these were the original units specced by old DJ himself. Lakland now supply their own brand pickups. A lot of people claim that the Aeros are far nicer than the Laklands but I've also read reviews (mostly from owners of Lakland brand pickups) that say the Laklands are just as good. All I can say is that you pay your money & take your choice, lol. The bass also came with a D-tuner fitted. Not sure if this is standard equipment or not but obviously it's a useful little addition. I'm asking £700 for the complete package including the nice Lakland case. I've seen DJs selling for less but this is effectively a brand new bass with useful grades and extras. Generally happy to think about trading for any other basses, ideally 5 strings. Probably more interested in similar value swap or trading up for something of a higher value (adding cash to the deal) rather than trading down to earn some money. I've added some pics of the bass - along with the case I have plenty more pics if anyone's interested!

Couple of possible trade offers kicking around but nothing confirmed yet. One thing I wanted to add is that I've remembered that I previously listed this at £1,550 so I'd obviously honour that price to anyone here
