As new Sadowsky RSD MetroExpress 21 Hybrid PJ 4 Fretless with more than £525 GBP of upgrades and still a bit more than 3 years warranty (the bass has been registered on the 6th of December 2023)!!! TRADES WELCOME! NON NEGOTIABLE PRICE! Asking price including fully insured shipping with tracking number, to your home, in these European countries (ask for other countries): Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France (excluding DOM -TOM), Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom: €700 (£590 GBP is an approximation and I will only accept payment in Euros)!!! Shipping to the UK is of course possible and included in my asking price, but with additional customs charges (VAT + other taxes + courier costs), as the UK is now outside the EEC. Here are the specifications : Body: okume (quite close to mahogany) Neck: bolt-on one piece maple Fingerboard: Macassar Tigerstripe ebony (professional dressing done), yes it's not the Morado fingerboard Positions (fretless): 21 Headstock: 4 in line Tuners: original Hipshot-Sadowsky Pickups: original Sadowsky Germany PJ hum-cancelling set (P-Style SAC PU P4 (neck) and J-Style SAC PU J4 B SC (bridge)), the ones with the AlNiCo V magnets and soft touch covers => First upgrade (€258 Euros or £220 GBP) Preamp: original American Sadowsky VTC (black epoxy, see photos) with German MEC pots => Second upgrade (more than €188 Euros or £189 GBP) Controls : volume, blend, vintage tone (push-pull active/passive), stacked treble/bass Bridge: original Hipshot-Sadowsky quick release Strings spacing at bridge: 19 mm Nut: original white Tedur Sadowsky Just-A-Nut III Strings spacing at nut: 11 mm (width 38 mm) Scale: 34 inches Hardware colour: chrome Truss rod: one, dual action, 100% functional (the Sadowsky tool is, of course, provided) Finish: Sadowsky MetroExpress black (very slightly glitter) gloss with satin finish on the neck Country of origin: China (Warwick factory second run with all faults corrected) Serial number: SME H 005191 22 Year: 25/07/2022 Weight: 3.890 kilos Action : from 1.5 mm under the G string to 2 mm under the E string at 12th position (can even go way lower, but was perfect for me) Will be delivered in its original Sadowsky PortaBag and all the goodies (see photos). Non-smoking environment as usual. The bass has been fully set up and shielded (dead silent) professionally and will come with some new Dunlop Straplok fitted on the bass and the original strap buttons (complete Schaller-Sadowsky Strap Locks delivered too). It has a new battery and has received a new set of Dogal Hellborg Perfect Pitch Flat Wound JH172 (37 - 53 - 74 - 90), which really serve this bass. => Third upgrade (€139 Euros or £117 GBP) What you see is what you get! Look carefully at the photos taken from different angles and lights to see the real condition, which is as new. Here is the link to 14 photos in high definition: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1KuNGxpbY-fr9CrZfZHubXe30-04LN3ua?usp=drive_link Due to severe back problems (67% officially disabled because of it) plus left and right shoulders injury (it's really painful to reach the tuners), I'm selling all the basses I'm not using like this one as well as some stuff I don't use. I've also considerably lowered the price for a quick sale. Don't hesitate to ask for more, but, please, before asking read my ad first as the answer is certainly already in it!

Last week after the release of the new Tony Levin album, I bought this: I simply wired the pickup in parallel and there's not much more to do. I opted for this series because of the Jazz Bass type neck as I don't like the typical Stingray one. Terrific bass for the money.

They will for sure. Get ready then for an assault of images in alphabetical and chronological order in the next days... -

I can add a lot of photos of mine, Chris, this will make an impressive collection... But it's your thread. -
You know UPS has also its lot of dumb workers. They tried to deliver me a brand new Mesa Boogie combo, I say tried, because when the driver turned the parcel to get it out of the van, you could see on the "invisible" side a hole made by the fork of a ... forklift!?! 🤔😳🫣 And the fork went through the combo, but not the other side of the parcel. 😱🤦 The driver played the innocent role, of course, and I refused the parcel clearly stating the issue on the document!

Passive bass, bridge properly grounded, no hum... but a click
Hellzero replied to anzoid's topic in Repairs and Technical
According to its guts, you'll lose a bit of mids making this Delano sound clearer (more precision in the ... sound rendering) than the Tonerider, but it's no big deal as long as you like the tone. -
Not much crowd yesterday...

Listening to the long awaited new album... After having bought a new Pueblo Pink Ray 4 yesterday. 🤦🤣

It's a J-Retro, it's even written there:

It is, but beware with low B string as it's a speaker killer...

It's really very hard to find and back in the day, I ended up asking my friend Christophe Leduc to build me one sixer EUB, a totally unique piece. It only took 7, yes seven, years to get it...
