Mikkel-S Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) Up for sale or trade is my beloved US Sadowsky. It started its life as a regular P but has been modified by the previous owner with two Aguilar DCB pickups. Controls are now vol, vol, VTC and stacked 2 band Sadowsky preamp. It sounds AMAZING! With the front pickup it gets into P-bass territory, both an insanely fat and perfect bass sound for the mix and on the bridge PU it gets into Jaco land. It features a chambered alder body, maple neck with the most gorgeous brazilian fretboard. Nut width is 1.5" like a Jazz Bass. Weight is ridiculous 3.5kgs and the balance is perfect. A very resonant and powerful bass. Sounds just right in the studio as well as live. Reason for sale is that I have realized I prefer maple fretboards. So, high end 4's and 5's with maple boards could be a trade option. Bass is located in Denmark. Cash: 2500Euro shipped. Edited July 22, 2016 by Mikkel-S
Mikkel-S Posted July 17, 2016 Author Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) A Musicman plus cash could also be interesting! Or maybe a two for one deal. Try me! Edited July 17, 2016 by Mikkel-S
Mikkel-S Posted July 18, 2016 Author Posted July 18, 2016 In a quick sale i would entertain cash offers
davidak Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 This bass used to be mine, superb instrument, lightweight alder body and if I remember correctly, it was nitro finish. Here are detailed pictures before conversion, if someone is interested: http://gdavidak.rajce.idnes.cz/Sadowsky_NYC_Vintage_Precision_4/ Highly recommended.
Mikkel-S Posted July 18, 2016 Author Posted July 18, 2016 (edited) Thanks David! Long story short - i bought the bass of David, sold it because i preferred my old early Fender P with A-neck. The new owner then modded it with new pickups. Was fortunate enough to run into the guy again and heard the bass with the new pickups. I just HAD to have it. So i begged and begged to buy it back and bingo. It came back. But I just have an itch for a bass with maple board!! Edited July 18, 2016 by Mikkel-S
Mikkel-S Posted July 20, 2016 Author Posted July 20, 2016 I am open to negotiating the price if a quick deal is possible
