    Apothem replied to Merton's topic in Basses For Sale

    I already have one, but someone says two is better than one... But only if in "almost new" condition and shipped in her original case 😂 Actually, could I come and try before I commit?? 😂 Best post in a long time Merton, put a smile on my face 👍

    Atelier Z are superb basses with beautiful sound and finish, very underrated. Got a black M245 (active) imported directly from Japan and it's great. GLWTS

    I bet it sounds warm and buttery!! Only thing is that Schaller bridge seems a bit fishy: I may be wrong, but are you sure about its originality? Anyway, nice specimen, GLWTS.

    Ab fab!! Made me think of Verdine White and EWF 😁

    You're right Clarky. That is consistent with that bridge, non-varnished neck, no skunk stripe... Nice piece of kit anyway and good price.

    Absolutely beautiful! I have 2 x 1989 (of which one in a different location), and - apart from different saddles introduced in 1989 - they are the same as yours. Unusual additional strap pins there (used as a lefty?). GLWTS

    Indeed, I'll probably regret it too...

    I nearly expected Marcus himself... LOL

    Thanks. It really sounds and looks spectacular, but at the moment I cannot really play it as I would like.
  18. Apothem
    Yes indeed, Metros do have them
  19. Apothem
    Gee.. I can't believe it... Really wish you can be reunited with your items soon

    Following a niggling problem with my left arm that will take a long time to heal, I am selling my most valuable basses, this one and an Fclef, no point in keeping them laying there untouched. Immaculate 2017 SADOWSKY METROLINE (formerly known only as "Metro") MV4 in "AS NEW" condition, with its original Sadowsky rectangular semi-hard case (not the floppier teardrop portabag), also mint. Only a few months old, this is the latest variation, including the new "Metroline" headstock logo, NYC-style strings tree and recessed input jack plate. Ash / maple combo in glossy black and chrome hardware, nice and shiny. 8.8lbs / 4.0kg hence on the lighter side for a Metro. Usual Sadowsky configuration: hum-cancelling Sadowsky pickups in '60s position and 2-eq Sadowsky preamp with VTC (tone control) working in active and passive. Brand new set of Sadowsky Blue Label stainless steel 45-105 (Sadowsky's stock strings) just put on for the sale and then untouched. Super-clean and pristine. Only during a close-up inspection for the sale I've found a tiny (approx. 2mm) very superficial shallow dink I had never noticed before, which - being black - is a bummer to photograph and is usually visible only if you look for it with the light at an angle. Currently set with a very straight neck and low action. Needless to say, no wear whatsoever and it sounds spectcular as you would expect. Price is £1,799 1,649 plus shipping, paid with a bank transfer, please. That makes AT LEAST 800 quid less than an identical new one (priced at £2,500 at sadowsky UK dealers) and for all aspects this really IS as new, and a 6 months wait avoided, of course. OFFERS WILL BE CONSIDERED. I will only post through the UPS website, as most couriers and all the agents like Interparcel do not insure musical instruments above £1,000 (and in order to fulfil UPS requirements, it may be shipped without battery, please have your 9V ready). That makes is £50 for a mainland UK tracked and insured shipment (excl. some remote postcodes and some islands): because of the value of the instrument and therefore the insurance, the real shipment cost is over £70, but I will absorb the difference in order to remain somewhat competitive. Coming from a smoke, pet and child-free home (but not booze-free... LOL). Sorry, no trades. BassChatters with an established history and reputation / feedback on the forum but living outside the UK (although in EU) may contact me, otherwise this is strictly a UK sale. The bass will also be soon on eBay in order to appeal to the largest possible audience. You can find my feedback at the bottom of the page. Please be confident the bass is absolutely, exactly as described, no surprises. Thanks for looking. Claz

    Hi folks I have bought this spectacular specimen from PlayBass only a couple of months ago, but I have decided to have a general clear-out / culling of the herd, reflecting the limited time I currently have for playing. Since then I have played it only really a handful of time in the bedroom, in my smoke / child / pet - free house (but not booze - free... oh, well... LOL). The bass is superb and really versatile, and - apart from a 0.5-0.7cm superficial blemish (a scratch not through the finish) hidden behind the upper horn - it's soooo clean and pristine, really immaculate, with still the plastic on the pickguard, on the battery cover and the instructions for the controls. Includes the newer style, sturdy Fender original hardshell case (although I have misplaced bits of the case candy, apart from what you see in the pics, sorry). Weight is 9lbs 50z / 4.25 kg. Really beautiful lacquered slim neck, with pearloid effect black blocks and black binding. Shiny, piano black alder body. Here are Fender's tech specs: [*]Body: Alder [*]Neck: Maple, Modern 'C' Shape, Tinted Gloss Urethane finish [*]Fingerboard: Maple, 9.5" Radius (241 mm) [*]No. of Frets: 21 Medium Jumbo [*]Pickups: 2 N3 Noiseless™ Jazz Bass® Pickups [*]Controls: [*]-Master Volume, Pan Pot, 3-Band Active EQ with: [*]-Treble Boost/Cut: /- 10 db @ 8kHz, a shift in the cut frequency, and about a 2dB slope per octave. [*]-Mid Boost/Cut: 10dB, -15dB @ 500Hz, and a wide band slope. [*]-Bass Boost/Cut: /- 12 db @ 40 Hz, with a 4dB slope per octave. [*]-Active/Passive Mini-Toggle Switch [*]Pickup Switching: Pickup Pan Control [*]Bridge: HMV, High Mass Vintage, (Strings-Thru-Body or Topload) [*]Machine Heads: Fender® Light-Weight Vintage Style Tuners with Tapered Shafts [*]Hardware: Chrome [*]Pickguard: 3-Ply Black/White/Black [*]Scale Length: 34" (863.6 mm) [*]Width at Nut: 1.50" (38.1 mm) [*]Unique Features: [*]-New N3 Noiseless Pickups, [*]-Improved Electronics Resulting in Increased Headroom and Tighter Low-End Response, [*]-18-Volt Power Supply, [*]-Active/Passive Mini-Toggle Switch, [*]-Passive Tone Control for Passive Mode [*]-Stealth "A" String Retainer, [*]-HMV Bridge, [*]-Tinted Neck. [*]-Posiflex™ Graphite Neck Support Rods, [*]-5-Bolt Neck Plate, [*]-Contoured Heel for Easier Access to Upper Frets. [*]-Rolled Fingerboard Edges, [*]-Highly Detailed Nut and Fret Work, [*]-Genuine Bone Nut. [*]-Wide-Slot Flat Head Screws on Battery Compartment (for Easy Changes with a Coin or Pick). [*]-Black Pearloid (Maple Fingerboard) or White Pearloid (Rosewood Fingerboard) Block Position Inlays, [*]-Neck Binding, [*]-'70s Style Logo Price is £995 plus £30 shipping for a mainland UK tracked and insured shipment (excl. some remote postcodes and some islands). This is almost HALF a new Elite. Payment through a bank transfer like I usually do here on BC, please. No trades, sorry.
