chris_b Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 (edited) ** Temporarily withdrawn ** My Sadowsky Metro RV5 Jazz is now for sale. It was built in 2005, a 3 tone sunburst with tort pick guard. This bass has lived a large part of its life in the West End and there has been some player wear. I've just had the Bass Gallery give this bass a set up and fret stone and it now plays beautifully. The pre amp (incorporating the VTC) creates that huge Sadowsky tone. The frets are in top shape and the neck is straight and very stable. Currently strung with DR Nickel Lo-Riders 45-125. Specs are as follows: - 34” neck - Alder body and maple neck with Morado fretboard - Sadowsky hum cancelling J pickups (60’s location) - Sadowsky 2-band pre amp, VTC and true bypass passive switch - 21 frets - 19mm spacing @ bridge - nut width 1.875" - Radius 12" - Dunlop straplock buttons - weight is 9lb 6oz (4.26kg) - Includes original Sadowsky soft case Controls are: - Master volume - Pan pot (pickup blend) - Treble roll-off (VTC) pull for passive option, ie pre-amp true bypass - Boost only tone controls - Stacked bass and treble (bass at the bottom) All my gear lives in my smoke free back room and this bass has always travelled to gigs in my car. I bought it from Basschat in March 2017 because I'd always wanted a Sadowsky Jazz after playing several at the Bass Gallery. Apart from a handful of gigs it's only been played at home. I'm rationalising my basses and selling to recoup funds after too many bass purchases. If anyone wants to try this bass PM me and we can work something out. I can post (at buyers expense) but would prefer not to and can deliver within 30 miles of Kingston upon Thames, or further if I'm going that way. No trades thank you, this is sale only.
