birdy Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 (edited) Definately up for sale is my Sadowsky Metro which has been heavily used and gigged for the last 3 years. Its a wonderful example of a metro and almost as good as the NYC models in my opinion. There are some dings on it which I have tried to show but none affect playability and I think its a cool looking bass. Looking for £1000 for this and will genuinely sad to see it go but needs must. Comes with the Sadowsky hard/soft case which has been gigged and so a little untidy but gets the job done.

Marcus Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Hi Steve, That NYC Sadowsky must be hitting the spot..... I'm toying with the idea of putting a Sadowsky Circuit into My 1970 Custom Shop ! Maybe I should just buy your Metro and have done with it !

Its a different beast to your 1970 Custom Shop. Its lighter but with a much darker tone and is particularly nice when passive. PS the NYC is on its way also, I am a born again Nordstrand enthusiast at the moment :-) EDIT: On a serious note I wouldnt change anything on your Fender. As its one of a 100 its collectability in the future would rely on it being stock with no broken solder joints I reckon. If you leave it as it is it will be worth a few bob in a few years!

bassaussie Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I owned this bass for a short period, and it's a great example of Roger's work. Definitely one of my "wish I hadn't got rid of it" basses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdy Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 This will be going to eBay if it doesn't sell on here so a reduction to £900 which will be the eBay start price. Get in quick for an amazing bass. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
