RhysP Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I don't like Fender style basses & I hate tort scratchplates but for some reason I absolutely LOVE that bass. It's stunning & classy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 (edited) The 'Metro' line are Sadowsky's made in Japan brand. I think WH just let a typo slip, its an MV4-HPJ like on the Sadowsky page here [url="http://www.sadowsky.com/instruments/metro.html"]http://www.sadowsky....ents/metro.html[/url] A real looker, to be sure Edit: beat to it by Rhys!

warwickhunt Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 I've been asked about the neck width/profile; nut width is 38mm and the profile is distinctly Jazz like. I'd say that there is little, if any, discernible difference between my Sadowsky Jazz and the PJ Hybrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteb Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Probably for the best, would have made me want to spend money that I haven't really got (unless I sell the Fender of course)! BTW - nice little gig and great audience at the Tyne..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warwickhunt Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 The picture of the rear of the bass gives a better idea of the colour and the finish being semi-transparent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Just to be clear; trades are possible but I'd likely as not be just selling any trade straight on so the price would need to be reflected by the kind of price that your bass would sell for on Basschat.[/font][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
