Thanks chaps. This is my go to gigging bass. I have only put it up because none of my others would raise anything like enough to help get the rare CS that has come up. The only reason I would like the CS is because of the fretboard profile. Played one once, a real 61, and the board was out of this world. This Sadowsky is a bit cheaper than the other one that's up, because it's a bit older. If the CS goes before this, well, I won't be gutted . Cheers, Karl.

WILL CONSIDER THIS PLUS A FEW HUNDRED QUID YOUR WAY, AGAINST POSSIBLE FENDER CUSTOM SHOP. As it says, 2009, spare black scratch plate. Very good condition, some "certain light" scuffing on back, one dint, not through paint, near jack. Comes with the hard foam Sadowsky case. Only for sale as it is the only bass I have that can raise enough money to put a very special bass within my reach. This is now my main gigging bass. If the special one I am looking at gets sold, this will be removed. Price shown is collected from Wigan. An extra £40 for fully insured courier, mainland UK only. Sorry, I will not take PAINPal. I will accept cash on collection, cleared bank transfer or cleared cheque. My feedback at bottom of post. Awful photos follow. As anybody who has bought a bass off me will confirm, I'm the worlds worst picture taker.

Don't think mine would compete Harry as mine is maple board. I wouldn't dream of selling my Sadowsky HOWEVER, a Fender Custom Shop jazz with a very rare profile fretboard is currently available and I'm struggling to ignore it. Good luck though, bump, cheers, Karl

Bugger, was going to put my MV4 up tomorrow as there is a Custom Shop I am lusting after . I will keep the field clear until this one has gone. It won't be a hardship , superb basses. GLWTS Bump. Karl.

Yes, come on you two, get traded, before I convince myself a 520 mile round trip isn't the worst thing on the planet

[quote name='Roj' timestamp='1393282406' post='2378365'] Hi, Would a Musicman Stingray be of interest as a trade, Lovely Bass you have. Roj [/quote] Hiya Roj, nice to see the boys are back in town

Stunning. TOP quality bass. GLWTS

THAT is perfection. Anybody want to buy a Sadowsky or a road worn vital organ? Bump and GLWTS.

[quote name='JazzBassfreak' timestamp='1393017566' post='2375411'] No one even have any trade offers for me? [/quote] You may have to wait a little while for the right trade to come along. Arguably most people have the modern Fenders that you aren't particularly wanting, so the potential pool of traders, on the gear you are after, is relatively small. Just a thought, but it may be worth considering something like a late model Fender plus say £450. Then you could move the Fender on probably relatively quickly. It would probably open a much larger pool to you. Good luck, Karl.

[quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1392785526' post='2372687'] Please don't reduce this any more, I'm only human [/quote] ?? Doh, save smart arse comments until AFTER Tom has posted. Bump.

Superb basses. Only reason I sold mine is I don't really get on with actives. Then they brought a passive version of this out, which I now have This FSR active really is a very good bass. Mine was as well put together as a Yank, with rolled fingerboard edges and high mass bridge. The active eq covers pretty much all Fender sounds and it's a versatile P/J with a J neck. Good stuff. GLWTS

[quote name='shemeckfrac' timestamp='1392671893' post='2371526'] Thought you just bought one Karlfer [/quote] A bloke can look, what are you, my wife

Amazing price for a superb bass

Alembic's can not go for any less than this. My luthier said that mine was the best made INSTRUMENT he'd seen in 30 years of er, luthiery.

4 years I've lusted over this bass. So much for down to two basses
