Don't suppose you are interested in a trade for a 4 string quilted maple / ebony lined fretless Sadowsky NYC?

Wonderful looking bass. If I sell my bass soon I will definitely make you an offer but for now looking forward to seeing a few more pictures!

Hi Jacqueslemac, you could be right about the neck on the stingray... my original interest in selling was to help fund the purchase of a Sadowsky Jazz but somehow I seem to have drifted on to a stingray! Maybe I should keep the jazz and get a stngray as well!

Hi Nas,
I find myself going 'round in circles about basses - sometimes I think that it would be great to have a really classic stingray then I pick up the jazz bass and wonder if I am going to miss the narrow neck, the ability to switch between the range of sounds you can get by blending the two pickups. I am not so bothered about selling the jazz - I might well end up hangin on to it after all if it's good enough for Marcus Miller it can;t be bad!

Hi Nas,
I had a Sei Flambouyant once as well - only it was a six stringer. I've never tried a Zon Sonus though I've heard good things about Zon generally. So many basses and so little money! I've also been thinking about a Musicman Stingray Classic - a very different sound of course to the jazz style of bass but they seem to look like they've managed to combine the best of the new with the old.

Hi NAS,
Thanks for your message. With my jazz deluxe I also had horrible earth noise which I solved by haivng it shielded - the main problem seemed to be the lack of shielding under the bridge pickup - given that it is the top of the range Fender model it was pretty dissapponting that they could spend a few quid in have the whole bass expertly shielded. Having sorted the shielding the Jazz is fine now. The range of sounds is pretty good on the jazz, nice and tight sound on the bridge pickup is one that I particualrly like. The neck is also pretty good on the jazz - they seem to have rolled the frets so that you have to have them filed down to get a nice smooth finish. To my ears I find that to cut through best in a live situation I play with the balance towards the bridge pickup and then for the occasional slap I hit the foot switch to bring in an aguilar compressor to round out and level the sound. Having previously owned Sadowskys I just think that the sound is slightly more refined and the necks second to none. I am not certain that I am going to sell the Jazz - the difference in price between that and a sadowsky is a lot and I'm not sure that i can justify the extra outlay.

Hi,

Thinking of moving on my 4 string Fender American Jazz deluxe.
It's a sunburst with rosewood neck and is the latest model that I bought ealrier this year from the Gallery in London.
The reason for selling is to go towards the purchase of a Sadowsky NYC.
Looking for offers in the region of £1,100. - drop to £1000!
Cheers.

Hi, Can you tell me what year the Sadowsky was born in? I ntoiced that it has the old style neck plate so I'm guessing it must be at least 3 years old - is that right?

selling new at bassmerchant with free postage for £159

Still have the box too.

Can post to UK at buyer's expense.

Hi, one of these just sold on ebay for £100 - would you match this price?

Thanks. I was looking for a True BY Pass latest model which I think has 'True By Pass' printed by the footswitch which I don't think yours has. Thanks.
