Sadowsky Japan 2008 MS4 WITHDRAWN FOR NOW £1700 Edinburgh

[haimesy]

Hi All

Selling this marvellous Sadowsky made in Japan (Metro)in 2008 ,in  great condition some light player wear .

Ive found myself getting back  into playing 5 string again and really enjoying it , so this will hopefully fund a better 5 string bass as I’m finding the string spacing on my 5 suits me better .

Its the clearest most defined tone I’ve ever had in a bass and if I was still a gigging bass player it would be going nowhere .

Comes with original Sadowsky case 

weight 4kg 

Ramp fitted , but easily removed

Would consider trade for Fender Jazz Elite or possibly a decent P bass 

£1700.00 + uk shipping 

Withdrawn for now ... Thanks

Hello Haimsey, what model is this bass and is it active? Thanks Fergal 

[ferg36]

Oops sorry got my glasses on now - it’s an MS 4 sorry 

[haimesy]

Hi ferg36

yes it’s active , but can be passive with the push/pull knob .. J 

[dd33]

I think it’s a MV 4....

[haimesy]

I thought the MV have pickguards  .. I could well be wrong .. will amend if anyone can clarify .. Cheers John 

[Mickb1773]

Haimsey.. I think your right 

MS 4/RS4 : no pickguard  with Maple/Rosewood Fingerboards

MV4/RV4 with Pickguards

great basses in live band settings 

best of luck with sale

It‘s an Metroline MS4.

Correct. Maple Standard MS (without pickguard) as opposed to Maple Vintage MV (with).

[haimesy]

Thanks guys , thought It right description .. J

Hi. In final photo am I right in seeing a flaw running over the top of the bridge pick up and between it and the neck pick up? Is this under the lacquer or a scratch?

[haimesy]

Hi ...It’s the grain under the lacquer.

Does it play nice?

Action wise,i know a personal preference thing

[haimesy]

It’s has the clearest tone I’ve had on a bass , 

pretty low action , no buzz , no dead spots . 
A great all rounder , which I believe would really come into its own in a live situation .

im just so used to my 78 jazz it’s always what I gravitate to ..Hope that’s of help 

Cheers John

[haimesy]
