GONE: 2017 Sadowsky Japan Metroline RV5- £1,800 £1950

[Old Horse Murphy]

For sale is a super 2017 Japanese Sadowsky RV5 Metroline Bass in superb condition. It's in an vintage Olympic White finish and is very creamy, complete with a tortoise shell pickguard. It plays and sounds superb with a lovely low action.

These Japanese Sadowskys are brilliant instruments and now discontinued. Sadly due to a band break up it's not getting used at all.

It will be supplied with a great Reunion Blues gigbag that would set you back over £150 on its own. 

I'm looking for £1,800 plus £20 postage. No trades thanks unless anyone has a Gibson J-45 or Custom Shop Tele they want to offer up. I'd consider a px on a lightweight Fender US Jazz Bass in excellent condition or an 80's 2EQ Stingray with the balance in cash my way.

Sadowsky Metro Line RV5 - 21 fret standard bass, Made in Japan

Thanks mate, although as it's a 5 String, I believe the correct term is "gert lush".

Quiet for ages then you pull this peach out that's just not fair on my GAS

[Old Horse Murphy]

Sorry Simon 😂

[Old Horse Murphy]

I'm afraid I'm only looking to ship this within the UK. Apologies to all our European friends

[Old Horse Murphy]

Bump for price drop. I'm not interested going to go lower than this as I think it's a fair price

[johnbiffa]

[Old Horse Murphy]

Thanks John

[Old Horse Murphy]

One final price drop. If there are no biters I'll trade it in 😀

Will you stop with your tempting …..,,,.

I will consult SHMBO and the company coffers post a recent ravage by the tax man. Don’t trade without dropping me a PM

Will do 👍

[Stealth]

Gonna have to walk away on this one I’m afraid. Say Hi to Mark for me !

[Old Horse Murphy]

No worries Simon. I'm probably going to hang on to it for a bit longer without trading it in as there's really nothing I fancy at the moment.

I think I'm coming down with something.

You’re not visiting EU any time soon by any chance?

Sadly not, although you would always be welcome here
