Picture won't open without downloading software/programme . 

Are there any pictures that most of us can see?

Thanks

Virtually immaculate example- just a slight knock on the bottom edge of the body (probably a mark from the bag zips).

Bought new from Bass Direct, around 3 years ago I think, for 3K after the up charges that were on it. I think that these are maybe 4ish or more nowadays, as they shot up in price after I got it.

Case is pretty immaculate also.

Slightly scratchy pots- not that I've been bothered about this. These were scratchy when i bought it new.

Trades wise, I'm pretty much liking my Sadowsky Modern 5 at the moment, as it does everything really. 

So a nice Sadowsky PJ5/Modern 5 is an option - cash either way for the right one. Please, no Jazzes.

I'm in Norfolk.

I won't ship/courier this at all, so it's pointless asking- as I have been on my other ad for my other Sadowsky. I will travel to meet up though. 

Would also consider a deal with this bass plus my Sadowsky Modern 5 that's for sale on here, for the right bass; but I've lost shed loads of money on basses in the last 3/4 years, so a bit more picky now.

But hit me up with what you've got though.

Thanks - Paul

Bump , and reduced to £1300

Trades wise (with cash either way) , would be a DB751 , Schroeder 21012L , 410L etc . 

Thanks

Panda Future Impact. 
Brand new- bought 2 months tried out twice at home, and not really what I’m looking for. Should’ve gone for a synthy fuzz like pedal really, but there you go.
 

Price is £170, signed for delivery. 
 

Thanks

Do Sadowsky Japanese Moderns (the M5-24) have the VTC?

Both of mine have

Looking for people's verdicts on these cabs - if anyone's owned one .

It's the neo version 410 , with the two side firing drivers - making it a lightweight and compact 410 cab . 

I've found a fair bit of information over on Talkbass , and the jury appears to be out on whether they're just full of middly honk , or more full sounding . 

So was just wondering if anyone had gigged with one for any length of time . 

Thanks - Paul

Bump , and reduce to £1400

Since I’ve bought my Sadowsky Modern 5, my Dingwall Super P5, has pretty much been unused completely. 
If I was to sell it, I know I’d regret it. 
I’m sure I’ll gig it again at some point, but the Sadowsky is hitting the spot for the Function, Northern Soul and Ska gigs at that moment. 

I'll have this , if it's still for sale .

Bumpity bump on this . 

Had a couple of enquiries , but nothing concrete as of yet . 

So feelers out again . 

Thanks

Ah. Will do. Thanks for that

Thanks for the reply. 
Was mainly interested, in how well the interior foam holds out, with the regular removing of the basses- as a normal case/bag would be used. 

I don’t know the answer to your question; but let me know what your thoughts are on it when you get it and use it. 
Will you be using it for regular gigging?

IMO adding a non-Sadowsky pickup might work against the existing pickups and you'll end up with less rather than more.

Yes, that’s what I thought too. 
I’ve read a fair bit up on the pickups, and seems that sticking Nordstrands in, is a common thing- maybe Fat Stacks. 
Thus making a great bass, maybe better/different, depending on what you’re after. 
That was something I’d looked into, and just had a crazy idea of adding a third into the mix, that’s all. 
Contacted Nordstrand direct, to float the idea, with regard to whether the middle pickup would need to be a ‘neck or bridge’ one. They said bridge for the middle. 
I was just throwing the question/idea out really. 
 

I didn’t mean ruin as such. It was just that it was implied that by fitting a third pickup was ruining a bass. Yet it’s common practice with Dingwalls. Was common practice with P basses- adding a J at the bridge, before it was offered by Fender. Also I knew more than one person who added a second pickup on their Stingrays in the 80’s, were told it was heresy, then Musicman offered the same opinion years later. 
 

I wasn’t intending for this to be a Talkbass flame war thread - just merely putting out the question about whether anyone had done it, or given it a thought. That’s all.

Paul

I’m in two minds about it. 
But then again why do owners of Dingwall NG2s ruin them by fitting a third pickup, making them an NG3? 
 

I was just wondering if anyone had done it really, and not sure if I will or not. I doubt I’m the only owner of one who hasn’t thought about it. 
I asked the same question over on Talkbass, but not had a reply- I’m not in their click on that site. 

Hi all . 

Just throwing out the idea of a third pickup in a M5-24 . 

They're the 'P2 Bartolini' sized Sadowsky branded pickups. 

Was thinking about getting a third squeezed into the gap . The front would have to be moved forward by a few millimetres to enable this . 

The middle pickup would then be in the MM position pretty much I guess . Either leave the Pan pot as it is , fit a 5 way one , or the Dingwall aftermarket 5 way one . 

Has anyone on here done this , know anyone who has , or been thinking of doing the same?

SOLD

Japanese Metro Modern 5 string for sale.

Got this some time last year from BassBros. Went up there to chop in a couple of basses, and did a deal on this, for one of my ones. 
 

I’ve recently acquired another Japanese one that’s slightly newer with a maple board, which I prefer. 
 

This is the link to the shop ad …

https://bassbros.co.uk/sold-basses/2010-sadowsky-japan-metro-m5-24-modern-2/
 

I’m not geared up to ship unfortunately, but can meet up within reason. 
 

Fancy another DB751, if someone wants a trade. 
 

Can post some more pictures if required. 
 

Thanks, Paul

Does this have side dots?

For a numpty bass guitarist like me?

Looks like this is coming to live with me!

Top man. 
I’m in Norfolk, and was hovering for a bit on this. 
One of the best deals on here

40th Birthday party tonight with the function band. 
Sonic Farm pre has died, so rolling with the Para Driver, with blend set to clean. 
Only one speaker tonight due to space. 
Second gig with the Sadowsky that I swapped my Stingray 5 for. 
Really liking it- so easy to play

Interesting choice to have the tweeter control opposite to most other audio controls ie: clockwise= more and anticlockwise = less. Wonder why? 🤔

Perhaps they have an ex Sadowsky employee working for them
