  1. These TRB's are of very good value. I had one like this and an other one in 6 string version. Stupid low action could be set on both of them and sounded very good. I sold the 5 string because I have used the 6 string version more but for some reason I have sold that, too. That is one of the only two basses I ever want to buy back. Good luck with the sale, somebody will have a great deal!
  2. Make me a cash offer! There is a bass here that I'd like to purchase and as long it is available I accept reasonable cash offers!
  3. String spacing at the bridge is 16.5 mm like mentioned in the specs? (maybe its just the pic, but it seems wider)
  4. This is a very good sounding bass. I used to have a GT7 for a couple of years and only sold because I was quitting playing for a while. Despite the 7 strings it was one of the most comfortable and ergonomical bass I have every played. This is a recording I did with it so anyone who is curious how a GT7 sounds can hear.

  5. MM SR5 added to the trade optio[size=4]ns[/size]
  6. If its a Dingwall 5 then I'm interested (forgot to put that to the trade options)
  7. For sale is my Sadowsky MV5. SN is M360 which dates it to 2004 All stock, no VTC. Maple board, maple neck, ash body. Weight is cca 3.8 kgs. It is a clean instrument with few marks and dings. You can see the headstock got some small nicks and also the body had some of the usual dents around the edges, swirls on the pickguard and marks on the backside of the body. Also on the back of the neck the finish started to worn off at two spots, giving it a well-played feel. I don't notice it when I play. Recently had a setup by local luthiers at Blasius Guitars and the strings are quite fresh still. Comes with the Sadowsky braded generic semi-hard shell case. Price includes bass, case and shipping within EU. Sorry for the pics, it is almost dark when I've taken them, but am happy to retake any of them or of specific parts of the bass you'd like to see. I could only insert one pic, but more can be found here: [url="https://www.dropbox.com/sh/1m8g58en9tboza0/AAC6Em23kwZAMnfCkE5eym8va"]https://www.dropbox....ZAMnfCkE5eym8va[/url] I love the sound and the neck of this bass and also Roger Sadowsky is one of my all time favorite luthiers, but can not get around the string spacing and the (undersized) J body. In my limited plaing time I always pick my Spector or Ibanez Prestige and this is left mostly unplayed. This is not really a motivated sale as I like it having here, but also feels like it should be played and can not justify a Sadowsky having around without much playing. So if there is not much interest at this price I'm happy to keep it. No trades, except for these specific basses and a cab with value adjustment: - Ibanez SR5006, SR1006, GVB36, GWB1005. No other Ibanez basses - Spector US made 5 strings, both NT or bolt-on. 6 strings can also be an option. Can add cash for the right trade. No 4 string Spectors please. - EBS NEO212 cab. No other EBS (or other) cabs, I'm well set in this department but could use a ligher EBS 212 cab instead of the one I have. - a Dingwall ABI or ABZ 5 would be interesting, too. - possibly a Musicman SR5 + cash Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for watching!
  8. I had both 4LX, 5LX and currently also own one 5LX. The 4LX I had was the alder/walnut base with poplar top. Neck was chunky for a 4 string. The whole thing sounded a lot weaker than my 5 string Euro. Not output-wise, but overall. My friend had two 4 string euros with same result (compared to the Euro 5) The sound is personal preference anyway. The 5 string Euros I had and have currently have great necks for me. Not Ibanez SR-like thin, but I would not call them chumky by my standards. They [size=4]are 35" as opposed to the 34" of the standard Euro 4LX[/size] [size=4]My Euro 5 sounds GREAT in any musical situation I've put through it so far. Live and in studio both. [/size] [size=4]As for a comparison with Stingray 5. Both of these can be heard in almost any mix. I have found Spectors to have more variety due to the 2 pu config (assume you talk about single MM pickup Stingray5)[/size] [size=4]Spector is a lot more comfortable for me due to the string spacing and smaller body. Also has better sounding B in my experience. (I have found B string to be hit or miss on SR5's. Not on Spectors, all Euro 5's I had were great on the B string)[/size] Hope I was of help
  9. Dealing with Jack was a non-issue at all. Wish all transaction would be as smooth as it was. I've sent payment on Monday, bass was dispatched Tuesday and arrived on Friday. The package was bombproof, bubblewraps and all, and the bass is excellent, just as described. So another thumbs up for Jack from Hungary!
  10. His playing on Ark's Burn the sun is great, he and John Macaluso were a k..kass rhythmsection.
  11. I hope you'll be selling this quickly, otherwise I'm in trouble :-D
  12. [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Still for sale / trade. [/font][/color]
  13. I had a Orion 5 string and I have sold it within weeks of receiving. Ergonomics and the sound was not there for me. Still have the respect for the brand.
  14. String spacing is a matter of personal teste I think. I'm so used to the 16.5-17mm spacing of my Ibanez and Spectors that the only thing I hate about my Sadowsky is the 19 mm spacing. I keep feeling my fingers fall in between the strings and the distance makes my digits work more. (but the sound and the feel of that bass makes up for that)
  15. Cash or trade offers are welcome! Market seems to move a tad bit slow these days so I'm open...
  16. Ibanez GWB35. It is a well thought-out instrument with nice features. It has a quite strong attack and not-so-soft sound for a fretless. I have used this in a metal band and it did cut through,if you want I can dig up the recording I did with it.
  17. Hey, you can always sandblast the black finish :-) Thanks!
  18. I use only one bass for the sets and I only carry a set of spare strings. The guitarists use at least 3 different tunings, but I've transposed everything so I can play them in standard (BEADG) tuning. Only exception is a couple of songs where I need a low A, so I just mute the signal with the TC Polytune, tune down (or) up afterwards and thats it. Also sometimes we play certain numbers where I use Drop D on the five string [size=4] (BDADG) I transposed them also, but gradually started to use drop D, [/size][size=4]because they play better with the open D string and also playing comfort increased. Sounds silly, I know.[/size] [size=4]I tend to use quality instruments I look very well after, so in my 8 years of gigging no basses failed me on stage or before a gig. Not even a broken string. (same goes for rehearsals)[/size]
  19. Just bought an amp from Phil. Deal with him with confidence!
  20. I'm open for cash offers as long as the bass I have my eyes on is available. Don't forget that shipping is included in the price!
