[quote name='lozbass' post='519788' date='Jun 21 2009, 10:08 AM']I wish this hadn't come back up on here...I'm all anxious again... How about, err...a Wechter 9400 ABG (original price £3900!) fretted by Martin Peterson, perfect condition and about 6lbs, a Sei Jazz 4 in Swamp Ash (no fancy top but a beautiful neck and abalone blocked, rosewood bound board) - excellent condition and around 8.5lbs...and £300 your way (£325 if you can deliver/collect)? It's the best I can do for lightweight 4s. Edited for minor change - offer for delivery etc. Oops, then edited again for miscalculation[/quote] Can you send me some pics of the basses in question and also where you live! The action on the acoustic is going to be of paramount importance.

This is a very recent acquisition and the ONLY reason I'm considering a trade for this is that I really can't justify owning a bass costing this much money and it not be my only/main gigging bass! I have a couple of other basses that I chop and change between and I'm happier that way, rather than having one instrument (especially as I have 3 bands on the go and all require different approaches/tones... well, IMHO) to do everything. The bass is in mint condition and has a Sadowsky light-case (rigid gigbag). I can and will take pics but tbh I doubt I can beat the pics taken by Roger Sadowsky's photographer, so I'll put those up for now, as well as the link to Mark's original sale and good pics (more to be found in the 'Gear Porn' Sadowsky thread). I'll flesh out loads of info if required but if you are in this league when looking for a bass then I'd expect you'd have a fair idea of what this bass is. . It goes without saying that it is UBER-light and the tone is huge! It is presently strung with DR Sunbeam 45-105s but I am quite happy to restring and set it up with lighter gauge strings (home set-ups are a doddle on this bass) 'for the right deal'. FINISH - Vintage Tint BODY - Spalted Maple on Chambered Swamp Ash with Black accent line FINGERBOARD - Birdseye Maple, 12" Radius, 1 1/2" Nut Width, Vintage Tint PICKGUARD - None HARDWARE - Black PICKUPS - Nordstrand Big Singles (wound for Sadowsky with Sadowsky engraved on the covers) Sadowsky Preamp with VTC WEIGHT - 7.65 lbs. (3.47 kg) [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=49156&hl=sadowsky+nyc"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...hl=sadowsky+nyc[/url] [url="http://www.sadowsky.com/stock/view/5091.html"]http://www.sadowsky.com/stock/view/5091.html[/url] What do I want? I'm receptive to most offers but the bass being offered MUST be under/about 9lb in weight! I won't split hairs if the bass is an once or two over 9lb BUT recent experience of buying a 9lb bass, weighed on the 'bathroom scales' (person weighed with/without bass) that actually turned out to be 10lb 13oz bass, has left me needing a more accurate weight. Obviously I also don't want to do a straight swap for a similar priced bass (defeats the whole object of why I want to trade). Hit me with what you have for offer via PM and please include a price for the balance you are looking to add, it'll save a fair degree of PMs if I know that we are in the right area. I do have 2 offers on the table to buy the bass outright, so a straight sale is obviously acceptable but I'm not prepared to sell it for less than I bought it from Mark. Cheers. <edit> Ooops! Forgot to say that I'm only interested in 4 stringers and a fretless wouldn't be top of my list... but you never know.

You have a PM.
