Gwilym Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 I had someone PM about this bass and why I sold it to Aussiephoenix, this is what I said...: [quote]Yes - it was a great bass - no problems with it apart from the wear marks on the finger board which were purely cosmetic. I played & gigged it - it really shined in the mix rather than as a "home practice" bass. Also A/B'd it with a Celinder J Update 5. Thought the Tokyo was the better of the two. Main reason I sold was I didn't like the 19mm string spacing, although ironically the basses I play now are all 19mm. If I had the cash, I'd consider buying it back, but I don't at the moment, so that's not going to happen [/quote] Edit: don't get me wrong - it also sounds good in a "home" practice environment. However, it was awesome live. I'm sure whoever picks this up would be very happy with it. By the way the previous owner to me is also knocking around here somewhere. He used to go by the name of russofjamm back in the BassWorld days, and I think he's on BC now with a different name which I can't remember. So there you have it! p.s. I should add that my transaction with AP went very smoothly, and I personally wouldn't hesitate to deal with him again.

bassaussie Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 I've played this bass a few times at Aussiephoenix's place, and it's an awesome bass. The thing that really struck me was how comfortable it is to play. I'm more of a 4 string player, but with this bass, I found myself noodleing around fairly easily, and it was easy to forget I was playing a 5. The B string on it is really nice as well, although that's something I've noticed with every Sadowsky 5 string I've played.
Aussiephoenix Posted November 9, 2009 Author Posted November 9, 2009 Thanks for the kind words gentlemen
Flanker Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 I owned this bass before Russofjam and out of interest imported it from the US - it was one of Adrian Garcia's basses.(Of Talkbass fame - sadly passed away). It's a great bass.
arpi Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 (edited) Hallo, looks very nice, can you tell me the weight and the scale length of this bass and shipping costs to Germany? Cheers Arpi Edited November 9, 2009 by arpi

Cheers Arpi[/quote] Arpi, as far as I know, all Sadowskies are 34inch, I dont have a way to weigh it here, but since its not chambered, I would guess its weight at around 9-10lbs. There's a quote of 120eur estimated to Berlin, Germany (Delivery in 1 or 2 days, no insurance... stupidly, they dont do it.) Cheers. Dave. Edited November 20, 2009 by Aussiephoenix
Aussiephoenix Posted November 20, 2009 Author Posted November 20, 2009 a few sniffins, no biters yet... Could be interested in a partial trade, depending on what's on offer. Specially interested in a 5str Stingray
Manu Berdin Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Hi , i really want to know the weight of this bass & also the pickups type ( single or humbuckers ) ... Thanks

Thanks[/quote] Hi. I can only guess at the weight... the missus doesnt like having scales in the house lool. I'd say its 9-10lbs bassaussie's played it, and he concurs about that estimate. the pups, so far as I know are singles, though there is no "singles" noise. the covers are sadowsky, but its been hinted that the original owner had swapped them for nordstrands. no idea, all I know is it sounds great.

As I recall, the pickup covers have the Sadowsky logo on them. From memory the weight was closer to 10 than 9.

When I was talking to Aussiephoenix about this, I thought the best description was that it wasn't a lightweight like a NYC Sadowsky, but it also wasn't a heavyweight like a 70s Jazz. It's in the middle area between those, and 10lb would be around that area.
Aussiephoenix Posted November 25, 2009 Author Posted November 25, 2009 The shipping quotes I've been checking to Slovenia and COuntries there abouts, have been coming in at around 220 eur inc insurance. Still up for grabs... ps.: Gwilym, I'd trade it back to you for that Lovely FBass
