Mark_ii Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 I have one of these, they really nail that Marcus Miller tone. They're a joy to play I don't think I'd ever sell it, there'll be good interest in this I imagine. GLWS

obbm Posted October 28, 2016 Author Posted October 28, 2016 [quote name='TPJ' timestamp='1477650082' post='3163543'] Lovely bass. Are you willing to courier this? [/quote] Firstly I need to check if I have a suitable box and secondly who would I trust with it.
Thor Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 What a beaut! I've been gassing for one of these for ages (and trying to save hard), but the bank of dad has taken a proper hammering of late. Bump for a sweet bass.
molan Posted November 14, 2016 Posted November 14, 2016 We had one of these in our store for a while. One the best 'Marcus' tones I've ever heard. There was a day when Alex Al was over in London for a clinic at the Bass Guitar Show and his bass hadn't turned up. Alex is one of the most in demand bassists in the US - he was Michael Jackson's first call player for quite a while and has played with a huge array of top people, Anita Baker, Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera, Lionel Richie etc etc. He pretty much had his choice of any instrument at the show to borrow and chose a near identical Sadowsky UV70 because he said he knew it would be 100% reliable for him. When a serious session musician says something like this you know it's a top quality instrument. A new one would be over £2K now so this is a good price too
molan Posted November 18, 2016 Posted November 18, 2016 Just checked some details on the new price of one of these for someone. Because of the nasty dip in the value of the £, a UV70-MW-ASH4 (to use the official Sadowsky naming protocol) would come in just over £2,800 if ordered today. It's the second most expensive variant of the Metro range with only the Will Lee being more expensive at about £100 more. The D-Tuner would cost around £135 as well making a new one in this spec around £2,950. Oh, and there's a 4 month wait for these as they are made to order only. . . Makes this one look an even better deal
jazzmanb Posted November 18, 2016 Posted November 18, 2016 I have one of these and it's superseded everything.I rarely go active and the tone is outstanding.The G and D Strings never go missing in the mix and i get nothing but compliments from band and sound guys.Playing Rock at the moment and it has the Geddy growl in spades
thodrik Posted November 18, 2016 Posted November 18, 2016 I have a Metro MV4 and NYC 5. Both fantastic basses. The UV70 series are awesome looking with blocks and binding though. I have no doubts that this an awesome bass for the money!
snakebass Posted November 19, 2016 Posted November 19, 2016 Hi There. I'm interested in this bass, but new to Basschat. How do we proceed? I am in South London so not that far away. Could do cash on collection if that suited you.
emilibass Posted November 19, 2016 Posted November 19, 2016 Beautiful instrument! Do you know the weight?
