Sadowsky UV70 Made in Japan £1600 Hertford, Hertfordshire

[AATB]

 

Very nice 70s style Sadowsky jazz bass, made in Japan in 2009.

 

I would say it's similar to a Marcus Miller Fender Jazz, but I think it feels and sounds better.

 

In Sadowsky's own words the bass has the "typical Sadowsky tone: Never harsh or shrill sounding, with strong, powerful but never muddy bass, with present, but not too aggressive mids, and a sweet and airy treble range."

 

Comes with the standard Sadowsky Humcancelling J pickups and Sadowsky Preamp which is great for adding extra bass and treble as well as the Vintage Tone Control for further tonal adjustments.

 

Set up with a nice low action. Excellent playability and also great for slapping.

 

Condition is very good. I have photographed a small ding on the underside.

 

The bass has also been stored in a smoke free and pet free environment.

 

The weight is 4 kg.

 

It also comes with the standard Sadowsky case.

 

Not interested in trades, thank you.

 

Thanks

Damn. Love mine. Shame you don’t want trades. I could do with another.

Same, my Japanese UV70 is a musical work of art and I would love more

Sure you don’t fancy a trade. I’ll even drop off and collect.

Not looking to trade, thank you.

I have 2 of these - natural and black...both stunning to play and wonderful active modern and useable passive tones....you shouldn't sell it - you might regret it🤣

My 2006 Japanese Metro is the same. It was a good year.
