EDIT: This must be a 2005 Metro. I assume they go in number sequence, this one is M543. My PJ is M1816 I think so I guess thats about a 2007/8. Is there a resource for checking this on line?

[quote name='birdy' post='714543' date='Jan 16 2010, 02:33 AM']Hi Andy, This bass used to be mine and also Mark (Bassaussie) owned it for a few months as well. I sold it to WaveyDavy and then somehow it's got to you. One of the nicest Sadowskys I have played, cracking tone and super playable. Just a couple of minor points which I may be wrong about as my memory isn't great but I think I bought it in August 2005 from a guy in the States who had had it about a month from new so I am pretty sure its newer than 2002. Also, The VTC's were not factory fitted until more recently and if I recall correctly I got John Diggins (Jaydee) to fit it for me. Best of luck with this - I think you should hold onto it!!! Also, please let me know whoever does get this as I need to know where it is for if ever I want to buy it back myself. I did about 60 gigs with this bass!! Steve[/quote]I got the date from this ad [url="http://www.adverts.ie/showproduct.php?product=98347"]http://www.adverts.ie/showproduct.php?product=98347[/url] . Folk have asked for weight its just a tad over 9lbs. and wear spots on neck, basically where your thumb rests, neck is super smooth.

The WL is a glorified version of this basically, with a slightly narrower neck and a mid tweak switch, Im basically a tart, its even in the same colour. Humour me.........

Guys i'm hankering after the Will Lee Model on here having played one in the US. I need to shift this, so need a confirmed buyer before I can proceed. Usual superb Sadowsky build quality, VTC etc, some wear marks on back of the neck from good honest work as per an old Fender et al, hence she's a fabulous player and cuts though great in my covers band. A couple of chips here and there on the lower edge and round lower strap button, nothing horrible just battle scars, pretty much perfect from the front. £1100 ships free in Sadowsky semi hard case. This is strictly a feeler as per the above. 2002, almost Vintage as Sadowskys go! If the WL sells I will withdraw this cause she's fab.

naughty naughty boys!

'Twas a pleasure Sir, Enjoy.

Blimey these are nearly $4K new, so guess thats a good price, If only! Played a WL at the Sadowsky HQ last year, neck to die for. PM'd.....

Never really liked the look of these till I saw this, superb looking bass. Tempted.....

No one bump?

[quote name='Sandmann' post='701281' date='Jan 5 2010, 09:18 AM']that might help: [url="http://cgi.ebay.de/Sadowsky-Metro-Series-Hybrid-P-MV4HP-Natural_W0QQitemZ230420248938QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item35a61df96a"]http://cgi.ebay.de/Sadowsky-Metro-Series-H...=item35a61df96a[/url] would you also consider trading it for a very good 70ties fender p-bass? sandmann[/quote]Yep id seen that, our Danish friend is quite expensive and I don't think i can run to a new one.

[quote name='giblett123' post='700916' date='Jan 4 2010, 08:24 PM']Bass central have a couple of metro P's listed but I never seen one anywhere else; If you roll onto the neck pickup & play with the VTC you can get a seriously nice P sound out of one of these.[/quote] Contacted Bass Central, and the website is out of date, they have no stock! Yup I can get the sound no problem, its just me being a cosmetic tart!

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='700909' date='Jan 4 2010, 08:20 PM']Just had a cruise through the Sadowsky website and they don't seem to do a Metro with just the Precision-style split coil. You can only get that on an NYC ultra-vintage, which is going to be a pretty penny, methinks... I like the new P&J Jazzes, though. Very nice looking things. If only they did necks as nice as the current US Fenders, I'd have one. [/quote]Yup, no longer available, hence my "long shot" comment. It's just a tarty thing on my part, I like things to be balanced with some karma! Oh Oh, no one understands me!!!

[quote name='birdy' post='700759' date='Jan 4 2010, 06:29 PM']The Oly White one used to be mine, great, great bass - we had some special times together :-)[/quote] Best sounding band bass I've ever owned bar none, hence the worn neck varnish on the back.

[quote name='fede162162' post='700808' date='Jan 4 2010, 07:06 PM']It's a matter of philosophy of life! [/quote] He speaks the truth.....I think.

I have a Sadowsky Jazz and a PJ but really want a P puped one only without the extra Jazz pup. Does anyone have one and fancy swapping for my PJ, obviously value wise u will gain, but ill be happy, shes mint with mintish case. Long shot I know. So basically I want to swap my PJ for a Sadowsky Metro P. The Olly white Jazz is going nowhere! Pic:
