That colour is awesome. Always been a bass I've wanted to try but have never had the chance! Why no price though mate? Second thread on the bass & you still haven't stated it?

Cheers chaps. That one photo really doesn't do justice. I've just sat down playing through my 91 Thumb 5, 'Ray 5 & the Sadowsky. I was hoping to fill the gap with the other 2 which would leave me feeling not as bad about selling this. It isn't happening!

I really, really don't want to be doing this, but needs must due to cash problems. I was going to put my 91 'wick up for sale but after a good noodle earlier I've realised I can't do it & that if I did part with it it would be a lot, lot harder to replace at a later date. Therefore up for possible sale is my Sadowsky Metro in trans blue with a maple board. It is one hell of a bass, I bought it from the forum's very own Gareth only a few months ago & at mint condition. It has 2 very, very small nicks on it, 1 below the bridge (I was changing strings in a bit of a hurry) & the other on the tip of the headstock (the annoying type where you have no clue where it came from!) I like to be thorough when offering gear up for sale so this is the only reason I mention these. It could pass for new otherwise. It's a bloody nice bass to play, just feels right with a nice low action & you can achieve some great tones out of that famous Sado' preamp. Very bright & punchy! Had many compliments regarding this beauty. [u][b]SOLD[/b][/u] Joe

[quote name='snazz' post='1332255' date='Aug 8 2011, 03:40 PM']Can anyone tell me definitively the price of a new USA Fender Jazz Bass Standard edition? The reason I ask, is that I have been trying to swap my two USA fender Strats for one with no luck. I have looked around at the second hand Basses and they seem to be more expensive than the new ones. The prices I'm seeing are all over the place. I'm seeing £300 difference from one shop to another and I don't think that can be right. I'd have much rather had a well looked after used bass that's been set up and nicely worn in, but they mostly seem to be Special editions and re issues for almost same price as they can be bought for in shops. Thanks in advance.[/quote] They seem to be around the £1100 mark across the board? The £300 difference or so you might be seeing in some shops may be the American Deluxe??

Sold through Gumtree. Cheers

I feel like a bit of a curse on you![/quote] I'm having a lot of car problems at the moment Pete & it looks like I will have to sell my Thumb 5 that I of course got from you... I think you owe us an apology! Seriously though, good luck with the sale. Massive shame.

I've not been able to get on with the chunkier necks on the newer Warwicks for a few years now due to wrist problems, it's the reason I got rid of my 03 thumb & eventually got a 91. Plus I'm having to get rid of gear at the mo due to cash problems. Tbh dude you've got a bass you love, which is an awesome piece of kit & some thing a bit special. Therefore though you really want some thing else I think you'd be mad to get rid of this at a rock bottom price.
