molan Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonecoldbass Posted January 19, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

molan Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr1 Posted January 22, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Jones Posted January 24, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
