I'm going to give this another shot...

Selling my Sadowsky MV4-HPJ as I have decided that maple boards really aren't my thing. I've had this for a couple of years now and got it from another forum member. Comes with the Sadowsky light case and is currently strung with Sadowsky 45-105 flats and is in outstanding condition.

Trade-wise I'd be interested in the following 4-string basses (with the exception of 7., the bass must have a [b]rosewood board and a Jazz-width nut[/b]):

1. Sadowsky HPJ in natural, olympic white or transparent white.
2. Lakland Bob Glaub, P or (preferably) PJ in natural, Olympic white or transparent white
3. Fender USA Deluxe Jazz (bound and blocked)
4. Fender Jazz 75RI (Jap or USA), Natural, olympic white or transparent white
5. Musicman Stingray SLO, in natural, honeyburst, olympic white or transparent white
6. Musicman Big Al SSS, olympic or transparent white
7. Fender USA Standard Precision in Olympic white

[B]If the bass you want to trade is not on the above list, please don't ask; I'm really not interested in anything else.[/b]

Trial is welcome in [b]Sheffield[/b]. Collection only. Any questions, just drop me a line.

Rosewood or maple neck?

Not sure about this, but would you consider a trade for a Sadowsky HPJ?n

What's the nut width on this?

Oddly enough there is nothing in it between the cherryburst Sterling (sans mutes) and the darker burst Sterling with mutes, I am simply keeping the muted one because of the two it may be worth something in the future!

Shame, I really wanted to get that one when it came up for sale last time but was totally broke. I've played a Sterling for a few years now but really wish mine had the mutes. If you change your mind....

Or you could sell me your honeyburst Sterling with the mutes. :-)

Where are you based?

Do you still have the TI flats?

hmmm..not sure.... I really like the neck on my P-bass..
Anyway the whole idea came from Tim Commerford

You're the person I need to team up with at some point in the future; I always wanted a standard P but with a J neck!

Quatsmacher, Nut width is 41mm. It's quite a slim neck for P which is what attracted me to it in the first place, but then I never played it! Doh!

Thanks, too wide for me, I'm afraid. This is the same as on the 70RI I had. Jazz width nuts only for me from now on! Best of luck with the sale.

Thanks, too wide for me, I'm afraid.

What is the nut width on this one?

What's the neck width at the nut on this?

Found a cheaper flute so didn't [i]have[/i] to sell after all, but should probably move this on to a real keyboard player.

Beautiful. If this had a SLO special neck I'd have had in in a heartbeat.

Had I not bought one of these in natural last month I'd have been seriously interested in this. Beautiful.

How on earth has this not been sold yet?! Used to play one of these, cracking bass for the money.

Shame it's sunburst otherwise I may have been tempted.

If it's the Stingray's sound you like then I'd get that with a SLO neck, though the Sterling sounds pretty similar when the pickup selector is set to parallel. I've played a Sterling for the last few years and love it (I really wanted a 'Ray but the neck was too wide (I learned to play on a Jazz) and the SLO special hadn't been invented). The other difference is that the string spacing at the bridge of the Sterling is 1/16" narrower than on a 'Ray. Sadowsky string spacing is 19mm (3/4") which is the same as on a 'Ray. Not sure what it is on your Deluxe Jazz.

Try a Stingray with the SLO Special neck option (1.5" instead of 1.625") if you like the narrow neck of a Jazz, it's the best of both worlds.

Withdrawn.

I bought a fantastic Sadowsky HPJ from Duncan this week. The bass was exactly as he'd described it and the transaction was flawless. Moreover, he's a lovely guy and it was a pleasure to meet him and spend an afternoon talking music, trying out a few basses, meeting his family and having tea and flapjack. He also very kindly picked me up from the centre of Bath and dropped me right by my friends' house afterwards. A true asset to Basschat. Thanks, Duncan!

Not mine, but thought someone here might be interested in this:

Mmm, lovely. I don't normally like CAR but this looks great with the black guard. If I'd not just commited to buying a Sadowsky HPJ I'd have been after this, either buying it or trading my Sterling.
