This bass is now SOLD. Thanks everyone for their enquiries and offers.

Lots of interest, but it's still available.

Thanks for the kind words about the bass everyone. If I could sensibly justify it to myself I would keep this as it is the best jazz style bass I have tried. Your comments are making me think twice about selling it. Unfortunately I saw another bass that I had to have and it means putting something on the selling block (and no, its not an old Fender)! To tell you the truth I wouldn't buy another brand of jazz bass other than a Sadowsky now.

Edit: This bass is now SOLD to a nice guy from the North of the UK! I am pretty much forced to sell this bass because I have purchased another bass that is considerably more expensive and I want to cover part of the cost. I am still tempted to keep this bass, but the sensible thing to do is sell it. Regarding the bass, its just over a year old and in mint condition ( I am not aware of any dings or stractches, but will double check if you want to go ahead), it has the plastic protection still on the back: NYC Sadowsky Standard 4 Chambered ash body Maple neck Spalted / flamed maple top Black accent line Birdseye maple fingerboard Nordstrand Big Sinple pickups in the J position (wound for Sadowsky with Sadowsky engraved on the covers) Sadowsky Preamp with VTC The bass is very light, its about 3.7kg and honestly its about as light as I would want a bass to be. Its also effortless to play (as are pretty much all Sadowsky basses). If I can afford another Sadowsky in future I will defintely get this model again. You may know I have a NYC Vintage PJ4, its probably 1kg heavier to give you an idea of how much difference the vintage hardware and rosewood fingerboard makes. I can send you more if need be or of any specific areas. Its also signed by Roger Sadowksy on the back of the headstock. In terms of price, new these are $3950 (ie standard 4, nordys + fancy top). Factoring in the cost of shipping to Europe $200 and taxes of about 20% on top of that, the overall cost is just over $5000. I think used in the US they tend to sell for about $3000 in this condition, but then you need to factor in shipping and tax which would put it around $3800. Having looked at the last couple of NYC's sold used in Europe they tend to go for the €2400 - €2500 mark. With that in mind I am asking £2200+actual shipping (but can do local pickup). I think that's a fair price for what is basically a brand new bass and represents about what you would pay if you got this from the US and had it shipped to your country of choice in Europe. I would sell it with the Sadowsky strap and a new set of Sadowsky Blue label strings. I can sell it with either the ultralight hardcase or the portabag. PM me if you have any questions, offers etc. Edit: I am in London.

You need a Wal in your arsenal.[/quote] Haha, still loving the cabs, they are great and really work well with the Little Mark II. Unfortunately no Wal for me - the necks don't do it for me, but I am currently seriously tempted by a Ritter Bump for a cool bass. I have loved the sounds available out of the Wal's I have played.

[quote name='mgauction' post='482026' date='May 7 2009, 02:33 PM']I was there with my friend, Nik - silverfoxnik on this forum! First time for me as I am from the States. Did we talk? I'm back now in Arizona. Had a wonderful stay.[/quote] NO, but I did see two gentlemen (is that the correct term? ) trying out a Wal while I was in their checking out a Zon Sonus (the Zon's neck wasnt' for me). We didn't talk, but I remembered hearing a US accent and when I saw your location thought it must have been you!

[quote name='cetera' post='442282' date='Mar 23 2009, 10:59 AM']Do da bump...[/quote] There is a girl on Talkbass.com, Fassa Albrect, who was after a left Shergold. You may want to consider PM'ing her there as she may be interested. However, I am not vouching for her as a buyer, just that she is mad about Shergolds (and may puke on it if she buys it).

Monday morning bump. Make an offer, you might get this for a lot less than you think!

Sunday morning bump..

Check out my US Lakland Joe Osborn in the for sale form. I would be happy to swap that over. Its basically a modern take on your bass with Nordstrand pickups and an Aguilar preamp. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=24224"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=24224[/url]

I'll let this go for [b]£1300 [/b]from the Gallery if anyone wants it!

No love for the Joe Osborn
