Sadowsky Metro 5 for sale £1850 London

[Roblevybass]

Hi, folks.

Selling this beauty to make way for a new purchase.

I bought it three years ago used from the Bass Gallery in London.

Serial number is M4106.

It has the customary modern scooped Sadowsky sound, but with the added advantage of the vintage tone control.

The previous owner inflicted some buckle rash, and it has a few dings and minor scratches, but....it plays, looks and sounds great!

I'm based in London. I could ship it at buyer's expense, but would prefer to deliver it personally in, (or reasonably close to) London.

I may have tried this exact bass at The Gallery. Does this model have true single-coil or hum-cancelling pickups please? Also do you know the weight? Seems to be a 2010 model according to the Sadowsky website serial listing.

 

Regards.

 

Terry.

I believe it was built in 2005. The weight is 8lb 5oz. I'm afraid I don't know whether the pickups are single-coil or hum-cancelling. I will try and check with Sadowsky....

[Terry M.]

Ok cool. I already have hum-cancelling pick ups in my Fender American Elite Jazz V is why I ask. Sorry if I got the year wrong but I was just going by this:

 

[Roblevybass]

The Sadowsky web-site has M4106 listed as 2005.

[Roblevybass]

Oh, sorry, please ignore the last message. I just checked again, and it was built in 2010. You were right all along, Terry!

 

[Terry M.]

No worries dude!

[Roblevybass]

Any interest, folks? I'm open to sensible offers, and may consider shipping at buyer's expense.

Where in London are you?

[Roblevybass]

Still available, if anyone fancies making me an offer...

[Roblevybass]

Offers?

 

[Roblevybass]

The bass is in London N3, but I'm willing to travel within 100 miles, if there's any interest....

[Terry M.]

Hi there again. I'm just curious to see if you ever sold your Sadowsky. 

 

[Roblevybass]

Hi, Terry.

I haven't sold it....but the problem is I'm currently enjoying playing it too much to want to sell it!

I love the VTC....gives a vintage flavour, while still retaining the active Sadowsky sound.

Maybe I should withdraw the original post...

Hi Rob. 

I can't say I blame you in all honesty. Amazing creations they are ☺️
