wayne58 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 (edited) Reluctant sale of my 2005 NYC Sadowsky 24 fret black Modern 5 string. Built in New York 2005 This is an awesome bass weighing 8lbs (3.63 kg) it balances perfectly.... comfortable and easy to play. It has all the usual NYC specs....with a chambered swamp ash body, Sadowsky soap bars, pre amp and vintage tone control. The bass still has the plastic protection on the back from new, with one minor ding above the bridge pickup. The Sadowsky light weight case is included at £1650. Sorry but I am not looking for any trade offers thanks. NOW REDUCED to £1650 with more pics. Cameron Edited May 27, 2009 by wayne58 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toasted Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 This was the bass that inspired me to pick up my NYC M5-24. It's a really nice bass. I'd buy it but I'm missing about £1749.75. Joe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassaussie Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Wayne, sorry for derailing the thread, but how would you compare the sound of the basses with the Sadowsky soapbars to the older basses Roger made with the EMG pickups? I assume you've had experience with both, I've not had a chance to try the Sadowsky pickups yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Modern 24 with the EMG pickups and I would say they are more aggressive, perhaps not quite as smooth and subtle as the new ones.
