Hi mate. Any word on this please? Also according to the John East website the last knob is a passive tone control that's active passive switchable. Is your one definitely for the mids?

You didn't think I meant 5 pounds did you? That's hilarious 😆 I'm waiting patiently for the right Japanese 5 string Sadowsky to turn up 👍

I would have bitten your hand off had this been a fiver.

Thanks.

Exactly how heavy please?

The seller mentioned the preamp specs a few posts back and it's active/passive switchable. Also the bass in the video isn't the actual bass for sale.

I had a white one but had to let it go. The bridge string spacing ultimately wasn't for me,real shame that. I prefer wider spacing 😢

I hear that buddy 👍

Do you mind if I ask why you prefer the black one of the two?

The bass is in Lincolnshire on Ebay. The thread is still open as the seller (Glasgow) hasn't closed it yet.

No worries dude. Hope things work out 😉👍

If you look for it on E-Bay you'll see the weight. It's gone from this platform and now for sale in the Lincolnshire area.

P.Retro preamp mentioned here is the same as the John East P mentioned on the bay 😉

No worries mate but definitely the same bass. I was chatting with the e-bayer in November about it. Sold from Glasgow and now for sale on the bay in the Lincs area. MJJS here has spotted the identical grain from the photos. Contact the current owner on E-Bay,very friendly guy. John East P mentioned on both listings but no mention of scale length on E-Bay. All the best 😎👍

This exact bass has been on E-Bay for a while now,I've just viewed it again. I searched under ACG bass and it was at the top of the results list.

Ok no worries buddy 👍

Also noticed the example in the video has the truss adjustment at the neck heel and doesn't have the bar retainer. Is your one a newer or older version do you know?

Ok cool that makes sense. Sorry to harp on but for battery changes is the original battery box connected or is it now done under the actual preamp in the control cavity?

Also could you describe the function of each preamp knob?

Doesn't sound too shabby to my ears. Do you mind me asking what prompted you to install the John East circuit on your example and how much of a difference it made?

No worries mate. I stand corrected 😉

To my knowledge mate all Sadowsky 5 strings have 19mm bridge string spacing. Happy to be wrong though 👍

Got you buddy 👍

Do you mind if I ask why you let it go? It just looks so awesome and I'm imagining it doesn't sound too shabby.

I saw this when BassBros had it on their website and was blown away by the looks. The only thing stopping me is I have the 24 fret active 5-string thing covered by my current stable. You speak well of it so is it a case of just wanting to try something else?
