JTUK Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Without seeing and hearing it.....but you have...I'd say that was a very keen price. I'd be concerned it was fake, tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bw_user_name Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 I dont think its a fake because it oozes quality .. its got a sadowsky case aswel, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 £900 is a steal! I'm about to put mine up for sale and I'd not take a penny less than £1250. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingus Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 If you've played it and you like it , and you have no reason to believe that it's not genuine or that there is anything structurally wrong with the bass , then £900 for a Japanese -made Sadowsky is an absolute bargain.

molan Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I have seen Metros drop below £1,000 but not very often. If condition isn't perfect and/or there are any issues with electrics then it's still a good price but not a 'crazy' bargain. If it's in good condition, plays well and everything is as it should be then £900 is definitely a good price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnybass Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Is it in a shop or private sale? I have seen one in a shop in Edinburgh for round about £1,000 (spent a couple of days trying to think how I could raise the cash) it was a Sadowsky Metro series by the look of it, natural with a maple fingerboard if I remember rightly..
