Not at the moment but I will try and get something for you in the next few days 👍

Ooh! Maybe 🙂 Send me the details via PM 👍

Both! 😁 It's painted with the colour "Purple Haze Megashift Pearl" which is designed to change colour depending on how the light reflects off it.

Hi, yes it's hanging on the wall here, waiting for a new owner 😁🎸

Hi @tom That's a very good question and the answer is......(drum roll)......I'm not exactly sure 🤔 I've done some digging around and found the following which may / may not be of any help: The pickups in my bass only have Sadowsky marked on the cases (unless another knowledgable Basschatter can point to any identification / manufacturing marks?) Doing an internet search brings up some history but nothing conclusive - In this 2001 link from Talkbass from Roger says they've only used DiMarzio, Basslines and EMG up to that point. This thread from 2014 says that Nordstrand were offered for a while as an option (quote #6) which infers to me that it would be more likely to be in a NYC custom and not my Metroline (could be wrong though) This thread from 2009 narrows it down a little to show that Sadowsky/Nordstrand setups started around the time of my bass being built so it could be a possibility but I cant be sure. 🤔 So in conclusion I think my answer is pretty inconclusive...sorry! I do know that whoever made them they were good enough to get the Sadowsky approval and do sound very nice 🙂

It's a shame no-ones gone for the "Pitza Kustom" as I thought it worked very well as a complete unit. I've now started to strip the bass down into its components and will be using some of them on other basses / projects. In the coming weeks I'll probably put the remaining bits up for sale on here 😁 I've marked this post as SOLD so it gets locked.🙂

I thought you would have added this one as its rather good 😁👍

Here's 2 videos I sent to an interested Basschatter. The first is a demo of all sound combinations for the M5-24 (even the extreme boosted eq) along with slap and finger styles and its pretty accurate to my ears of what the bass can do. This Bass Club Chicago demo is also very good, with a bit more "coherant" playing 😉

For sale (or trade) is my Sadowsky M5-24 Modern 5 string and lightweight “hard” case. This is one of the Japanese Metroline made basses and not Warwick or NYC. Lovely bass and I have enjoyed our time together but I’m looking for a change in the basses I have…… I would give it a 9.5 / 10 for condition with only a couple of small marks that I can see and have added pics. Current Warwick Metroline M5-24 are costing around £2,400. Make & Model: Sadowsky M5-24 Modern (Japanese Metroline) Made: Approx. 2009 Serial Number: M3170 Body & Top: Swamp ash body with a 59’ sunburst gloss polyurethane lacquer on body Neck: Bolt on, maple, gloss polyester lacquer on neck, graphite rods Scale Length: 34 inch Fingerboard: Maple. 24 frets – 2 octave.

Shipping will be at cost. Msg me with your postcode and I will get a price. Trade wise I'm pretty much sorted for basses at the moment and would prefer a straight sale but I could be interested in a Fodera Emperor, JCR, Sei etc., 5 string with active electronics, 24 frets, 18 / 19 mm spacing. Try me, you never know! I’ve got good feedback on here, see the link in my signature. Any questions, ask away. 🙂

For sale (or trade) is my Status S2 Classic 5 string and original Status hard case. Lovely bass and I have enjoyed our time together but I’m looking for a change out of the basses I have…… I would give it a 9.5+ / 10 for condition. No dints or marks that I can see only some slight surface swirls which I couldn’t get to photograph! Current price list shows the S2 bolt on costing £2,625. Status have closed their order book for the moment as they have a lot of orders to complete so there could be a long wait for a new one. Make & Model: Status S2 Classic, 5 string, headless Made: Approx. 2014 Serial Number: 02143670 Body & Top: Mahogany body with walnut centre tone-block, coloured pin-stripe and book-matched figured maple facings.
