Kingbassist Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) [u][b]For Sale Only ( No Trades Please)[/b][/u] [u][b]NOW £2499.00![/b][/u] [b][u]Sadowsky Will Lee 5-String in '59 Burst - USA Model[/u][/b] Only a few months old. This bass has been hardly used. It has a chambered Ash body with a Maple neck and a lovely (optional extra) Flame Maple Fingerboard. It also has (optional extra) stacked hum bucking J pickups. It's very light at 8.39lbs and comes with a Sadowsky soft case. A rare opportunity to buy a perfect US Sadowsky at less than cost price and without the 7 month wait! Genuine reason for sale, I need to raise funds for a decent fretless to use on my show. I'm now looking for £2499.00 which is a lot less than the cost price was (with shipping and customs duty). I'm based in Guildford if you want to try it out. Thanks for looking.

Kingbassist Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 The 'soft case' mentioned is the Sadowsky Portabag, which is a sturdy case for the bass. Plus it comes with certificate of authentication and all the polishes and Allen keys etc that came with it. It's all as new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodney72a Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 If you ordered a new NYC Will Lee 5 from Sadowsky, it would cost you around £4K including shipping, import duties & VAT. So this is an excellent deal - amazing looking bass for a great price from one of the best players in the land! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

risingson Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 These things are by far the best Sadowskys I've played, the mid switch should have been something Roger Sadowsky should have done ages ago. Amazing instruments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingbassist Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 Yup, a very handy switch.. You can preset how much middle it adds, and choose from 2 different frequencies too... A nice addition to the standard Sadowsky 2 band preamp.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingbassist Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 Been umm'ing and ahh'ing about whether to sell this bass for a while now, but I'm going to definitely sell it now.. I've put EMG J pickups in it, for ultimate quietness reasons, but also have the original pickups to include too.. Not a huge job having them swapped back.. The bass is still in brand new condition... Open to sensible offers.. Thanks for looking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
