XB26354 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 (edited) *** SOLD *** Hi, I bought this recently from GreyParrot. A superb example of a sunburst super jazz 5-string. Sadwosky Metro RV5 - 2-piece alder sunburst body, maple neck, lovely light-coloured striped rosewood fingerboard. Hipshot ultralite tuners, Sadowsky humcancelling single coils, 2-band preamp with Vintage Tone Control and preamp bypass. In near mint condition, complete with paperwork, tools, and Sadowsky semi-hard fitted case. Asking price is the same - £1100. I can post but it will be extra at cost. A wicked all round bass that looks the part for any gig. I'm only selling because I've had an epiphany with an American Standard P-bass 5 and don't think I'm really a jazz bass man. Please note that the bass will come with a new Sadowsky tortoiseshell pickguard, not the black one in the photos. Cheers for looking and if you're interested send me a PM.

Born 2B Mild Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Could you tell us more about you epiphany? Maybe on a review thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XB26354 Posted August 9, 2009 Author Share Posted August 9, 2009 Sure! Briefly, I've been searching for a fat-sounding bass with a bottom B. I've tried many basses but there has always been some kind of compromise - the bottom sounds great but the top end is too thin. I've been through most makes. The p-bass is totally passive and the pickup is not close to the bridge, with the result that the whole thing has got a rich, fat tone. The B-string also sounds just like the other 4-strings (a first for me with Fender!). Anyway, back on topic, I'd only consider trades for a decent 6-string (ie not Ibanez, Yamaha, ESP etc.).

Meanwhile, I do have a top-end 6-string if you're interested! Sale thread link in my sig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
