johnbiffa Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 (edited) Sadowsky UV70 MIJ Metro Superb 2014 UV70 with the original Sadowsky case and I will consider sensible offers, similar bass currently listed at Bass Direct for £2299, so chance for someone to save a few hundred pounds !!! £1750 ONO Ash ( I believe) with maple fingerboard, 20 frets, 10” radius, 1 ½” nut, white blocks and binding and thin matte nitro finish. Full size body with Tortoise Pickguard weighing around 4.2kg Sadowsky Hum-Cancelling J-Style Pickups Well balanced with superb definition at all the right frequencies and with the active electronics it produces a wide range of tones to suit any application. The VTC (Vintage Tone Control) works by rolling off the high end to produce a slighter warmer sound which is a great adjustment to have when you need to more delicately in a mix. This is one of the many finer details that really help to bring out the best in your playing regardless of the genre. Full disclosure there is a small chip in the neck joint that I have tried to show in one of the photos. Fabulous bass that sounds terrific fingerstyle as well as slapped. Only moving on as I have pulled trigger on a NYC Sadowsky Can be collected or couriered at buyers expense. Any questions don't hesitate to get in touch.

Captain Bassman Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I have one of these in natural ash with black binding and blocks, bought new in 2009 and gigged very regularly since. Fantastic bass, real boutique quality with modern Jazz and vintage Jazz tones on tap. These now go for 3 grand new… this is a bargain… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnbiffa Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share Posted October 13, 2021 Colour, playability, note articulation and resonance all great but need to thin the herd sadly, sounds great as well and the Sadowsky case, what's not to like guys? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
