barks

I can confirm that the board is ebony rather than rosewood. As far as I can tell the bass would have originally been manufactured as a fretted. You can still see where the original fretmarker dots on the neck edge were before the conversion to fretless was done. I always presumed that the ebony board was added at that time. The EMG P pickup was already in place when I bought it and the EMG J pickup was added by Jon Shuker around 1999 approx. Tuners look to be originals.

Just a feeler for now but I may be looking to sell my 78 Fender P fretless. (The one on the left in the photos.) Pickups are EMGs (P and J that Jon Shuker installed for me). Would be looking to get about £1300 for it but would consider offers. Not interested in any trades - I have too many basses already and need the space !

I think this was my old bass (before I got my NYC Sadowsky). It's a nice one and Jack was very good to deal with.

Where are you based? Looks a really nice one.

Shuttle 3.0 for sale. In immaculate condition Looking for £300 Should be able to add some more info and pics later. This is a nice head but I'm not really getting much use out of it as it's only really been a back-up amp for me.

Bump for the bank holiday.

NOW SOLD Ash body with really nice grain. Natural finish with flawless vintage amber tint. Vintage tinted maple neck with gorgeous Brazilian rosewood fingerboard. Tort guard. [attachment=88012:Nordy_197_body.jpg] [attachment=88013:Nordy_197_back.jpg] Neck finish is silky smooth matt finish and feels better than any other bass I have played. Pickups are Nordy Big Singles and the bass has the excellent two band Nordy pre-amp. Controls are: Master volume with push / pull for passive mode, Pickup blend, Passive tone control Stacked bass and treble boost / cut This spec would be £2700+ if ordered from new now. This is a lovely bass to play. Big sounds and very versatile. Used for a couple of gigs and sounded great in both my rock and blues band and my covers band playing lots of styles from 70's funk and 60's soul to modern pop stuff and rock classics. This bass can really do it all. Nice and light weight too. I don't have an exact weight but it would be around or just under 9lb. Comes in it's original semi hard gig bag made by Protec in silver/grey. Bought new from Bass Direct less than 2 years ago. So why the possible sale? Well I am pretty much using 4 string basses all the time at the moment and it is likely that this beautiful instrument will be getting virtually no use in the forseeable future. It may be that I am just going to admit that I'm not a 5 string bass player. So my loss will certainly be someone else's gain. Probably looking for a cash sale in the region of £1995.00

[quote name='Darshan' post='1152104' date='Mar 7 2011, 12:40 AM']Interested in a trade?[/quote] I am unlikely to be interested in trades but you could always send me a PM with your idea. You never know!

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='1150705' date='Mar 5 2011, 04:43 PM']Did this belong to Mark (Marcus) off BC?[/quote] I bought this one from Jimmyp28. I would prefer not to ship outside the UK but it would be a possibility if no-one more local wants to buy it.

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='1150662' date='Mar 5 2011, 03:55 PM']Roscoe, Stingray or Spitfire? Or was it the asian fusion you are selling it for?? Barks and his Sadowskys are quality - trade with confidence![/quote] Cheers Russ. Asian fusion all the way !

I bought this recently from another basschatter as a backup bass but it doesn't get much action as I seem to play my other RV4 Sadowsky the whole time. As a result I am putting this one back up for sale for what I paid for it just before Christmas - £1250. In great condition with just a couple of very minor dings on the body. Sounds fabulous (it's a Sadowsky after all) with a great 70's look. Black blocks and binding and the full size J body rather than the downsized body of some Sadowsky models. I have only had the bass for a few months but from the serial number it appears to be less than a couple of years old at the most.

Glad to hear that you can keep that Sadowsky. It looks a good one.

now gone! Thanks for all the interest.

on hold - sale pending

I may ship overseas if the local interest comes to nothing but I would prefer to do a deal with someone without the hassle of shipping etc. Regards Neil.
