It's a Metro RV4

Is this the Lightning or 30-pin version?

Thanks. About 9½ lbs (4.3 kgs)

My main bass is a PJ and I'm not really playing this one enough to justify keeping it. Great bass, featuring Vintage Tone Control, also benefitting from Sadowsky supplied drop-D tuner and black pickguard (currently fitted). All original stuff included - case etc. Original tort pickguard available. Cash sale £1350. Prefer local pickup or arrange something nearby (based in Herts). Only trade might consider is US Lakland JO4 passive [attachment=231162:Sadowsky 2008 Metro RV4 sn M1858 - sBLACK.JPG] More pics here: [url="https://www.flickr.com/photos/96155637@N00/albums/72157664499032679"]https://www.flickr.c...157664499032679[/url] cheers, Jonathan

Great price, especially now that VTC is included Somebody should buy this, Sadowsky is the best super J. Brilliant preamp and all round quality bass. GLWTS

If you are looking for trade then could I suggest you put your Squier Jazz in the subject line? Otherwise, perhaps you could/should post in the Items Wanted thread? cheers, JC

Nice bass. If someone is interested in this bass but is put off by the lack of VTC, I have an unused complete VTC retrofit kit like this [url="http://sadowsky.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/IMG_7747_1.jpg"]http://sadowsky.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/IMG_7747_1.jpg[/url] from Sadowsky that I'd be happy to let go to someone for £49 incl UK postage.

Very nice What does Fender call that colour?

If it's available, perhaps change the thread title which still says 'on hold'?

Puzzled at how hanging on a wall in a bar might cause this kind of distress. Now, if you had said it was used as a skateboard for a while.... Cool relicing GLWTS

Is this still for sale?

Nice looking bass. Is the hardware chrome or gold finish? The pics appear to have a bit of a yellow colour cast to them and it's hard to be sure from the photos. Also, do you have decent shots of the dings you could post here (or provide a link to higher res photos somewhere)?

Saw Tim Lefebvre playing his Moollon P-classic with Tedeschi Trucks band back in November at indigo/O2. Was initially disappointed that Oteil Burbridge wasn't touring with them, but Tim was really good and the sound, not just from the bass but the whole band, was fantastic. The sound man did a great job that night. The band rocked GLWTS

[quote name='Gibbo9876' timestamp='1454501199' post='2970238'] Do you know any dimensions of the bass neck, in particular the neck radius. Or if anyone else might have an idea? [/quote] It looks as if it might have originally been a 62RI though that looks like an after-market bridge. The neck radius is most likely 7.5" (scale 34", nut 1.5")

I think they will open on an Apple device, just not PC etc. They open on my iPad but not my Windows desktop for example. Nice looking JO. If it had been alder/rosewood, 4-string and passive I might have been interested... GLWTS

Found these two old posts which look like similar basses. Are these pics closer to the real colour?

Wow, that is different to the OP's pics. See what you mean about custard...

Butterscotch? Looks more like Off-White Blonde or even Vintage White in the photos...? :-/ Can you see the grain? I didn't think the CIJ basses came in Butterscotch, so if you can see the grain maybe OWB, otherwise I'd guess VWH? Having said that, I thought the OWB was only available on the '75RI, not the '62RI. Mind you, they don't usually come with matching headstocks either... Nice though, either way GLWTS

Nice bass Do you know the weight?
