molan Posted January 19, 2009 Author Posted January 19, 2009 Couple of possible trade offers kicking around but nothing confirmed yet. One thing I wanted to add is that I've remembered that I previously listed this at £1,550 so I'd obviously honour that price to anyone here
stonecoldbass Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Did this bass previously belong to a certain Gil from Dunfermline? Would you be interested in a trade plus cash for a metro rv5 sadowsky?! c

I'm not an expert on the Metro range so not sure which one the RV is? Zap me a PM and we can exchange email address so you can maybe post me some pics?
CHRISDABASS Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 its the beautiful black one with rosewood board that used to be Gareths!! very nice looking bass!!
molan Posted January 19, 2009 Author Posted January 19, 2009 (edited) Couple of requests for more pics so here's some taken today. I have larger higher rez versions if anyone want to see them Edited January 19, 2009 by molan
stonecoldbass Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 I'm a twat, just realised this 4 String....d'oh! Sorry man, I'm a total doofus, 5 strings all the way for me!! good luck! the metro is a fantastic bass btw, highly recommended! c
molan Posted January 21, 2009 Author Posted January 21, 2009 Very close to a trade on this so this is my last plug to see if anyone fancies making a cash offer. If anyone is really serious I would take a reasonable deposit & lock it away for a while before completion

He imported a pair from new at the time that US Sadowskys were nowhere to be seen on our shores. (I took the original pics for him!)

dr1 Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 (edited) would you take fender jazz '73 (sunburst,tort,maple with blocks) for this bass? Edited January 22, 2009 by dr1
Brother Jones Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Sorry to have to point this out, but the E looks well out of alignment with the pole pieces in those pics. Unusual for a Sado, as they tend to have perfect bridge/pup/neck alignment. I think the Schaller bridge allows adjustment for this though...

The bridge has little roller adjustments so you can get the alignment just right and they move really easily when not held firmly by the pressure of the string. The E must have drifted over to one side at the last string change (it's had a couple of changes recently) so I've rolled it back to the correct position now
