Ahh I got you - fair enough!

There’s a 5 string one of these for sale with a John East pre on here somewhere. This is an insanely good bass for under £300!

Nothing wrong with it at all - the Zoom amp sims in particular are really good and now it has a DI it’s literally all you need for a gig, it’s just not what I need right now - if I was a bit more flush I’d be happy to keep it about as it’s got so many uses, but if I’m not gigging with it then I can’t afford to keep it around - too many other things to buy! 🤑 😆

SOLD - Cheers 👍 Zoom B2 Four multi effects unit with a huge amount of effects, compressors, amps, preamps, looper, tuner etc - £125 (can arrange postage) Bought from @Machines on here recently and used for 1 gig but found a different solution so this is straight back up (I paid £140 so I think it’s very fair - still in as new condition). No box but has original Zoom power supply - incredible value for money, and now that Zoom have finally put a DI out on their multi fx units it could serve as a complete solution for your pedalboard as you can run 5 effects simultaneously straight to front of house. It’s an excellent piece of kit, but I was after something very specific and A/B’d with another pedal I decided to go with the other one, and there’s not enough space on my board for it really Some vids/info below for anyone who wants to know more about it - they’ll do a better job than me of explaining the features etc 👇 There’s also a good thread in the Effects forum that’s worth checking out if you’re considering it. Would trade/take part ex for - JPTR Jive Fx, decent Octaver (OC2 or similar like the MarkBass one or other ones based on it), MXR Bass Chorus Deluxe (or potentially a different Chorus - try me), always room for a nice Compressor or Preamp (particularly something like a Broughton Fliptop or Sushibox Slampegg Bee Pre that type of thing), but whatever - try me, I can put money the other way if it’s something I’d use

I’ve had one of these - in this colour too, absolutely fantastic, wipes the floor with a Sterling SUB for me

These are absolute things of beauty 😍 They sound immense as well - if only I could justify such a purchase. GLWTS!

Beautiful bass that! 😍

Is this still available?

EDIT: I have reduced this to a straight £1,000, which is incredibly cheap for what it is

Edit - Apologies misunderstood your post 😝 Yeh if this was a 5 string it’d be going nowhere! 😂 I’d love a Japanese 5 string Sadowsky but we’ll see

**Final Price Drop until next Sun 28th April and then it’s coming down if it’s not sold - £1,000!!** Shipping available at your cost (can arrange insured shipping for you though) Trades welcomed, PX with cash my way (or potentially with cash your way for the right bass) **EDIT** - As it’s for this week only and I have my eye on something, I am reducing it to £1,000. For a Japanese Sadowsky in great condition. Read that again 👀

It’s definitely got “That” P Bass tone 👌🏼😍👌🏼 - if you buy this and it doesn’t sound like that, you definitely can’t blame the bass!

That’s a lovely Zender-era PJ Streamer for an absolute song! That crack in the wood won’t effect anything IMO, certainly wouldn’t bother me for £750! I’ve already got 2 basses on my shopping list but if this hangs around for a while this might end up on it too. GLWTS!

Fair enough but it’s Czech made isn’t it, which is more what I meant (rather than Korea etc) but yeh you’re right. Still cheap for what it is tho I think

Bloody good price this for a Euro Spector 5

Yeh I think some people get confused about the quality of these basses with the Chinese MetroExpress’s, but this is a full blooded Japanese Sadowsky in almost immaculate condition for under £1200! This would have been gone in an hour a year ago haha 😆 I’ve never played a German Sadowsky so any comment made would just be hearsay, but they don’t seem to have the same rep the Japanese ones have

I think at the moment the big money is in Fenders that look like a they’ve been rescued from a skip 😝

It’s getting a set of Nordstrand Big Splits in if I do manage to buy it off you 😃 However I’ll be interested to hear the difference in the Mk1’s thru the East Preamp, as I honestly didn’t mind them

These are so ridiculously underrated - it’s only the Mk1 Bart’s I think that have an unfairly bad rep - I’ve played this and the 4 string 44-01 and they feel and sound absolutely class, I hate to use the term but it is a proper “jazz bass on steroids” (excuse me whilst I cringe myself inside out). The East preamp in it will sound ridiculous - as you know I’ve got my eye on this!! 😃

FINAL PRICE DROP: **NOW £1,000** - For 1 WEEK ONLY If it’s not sold by the end of Sunday 28th April I’ll take it down and keep it - this is an absolutely amazing price for this bass, however it’s a buyers market at the moment, but I’ll absolutely take it down at the end of next week if it isn’t sold Poss Trade or PX (either way - see below for trade options ) I have this absolutely lovely 2018 Sadowsky RV4E MetroExpress (the JAPANESE version) 4 string Jazz Bass in ‘59 Burst, weighing in at under 8.5lbs As most people reading will know, the short lived Japanese MetroExpress basses were made to the same spec as the 🇯🇵 Metroline basses but with less options (See: https://sadowsky.com/discontinued-instruments/japanese-metroexpress-basses/ for more info). This bass is every inch a Sadowsky, it looks, feels and sounds as fantastic as you’d expect. It’s really light, comes with the VTC preamp and it is in excellent condition. It’s not perfect - but it’s not far off, there is however a tiny chip out of the finish at the back of the bass by the electronics cavity, but it isn’t noticeable at all really, and not something that should concern anyone but it’d be wrong not to mention it - it’s got zero buckle rash or anything like that, and apart from the minute chip on the back it’s as good as new. There also a bit of discolouration under the pots, nothing major at all but it would be remiss of me not to mention it. I’ve literally just put a brand new set of Fender 7025’s on as well, so it’s ready to roll! This was my “dream bass” for a long time, but when II finally got it I realised I just do not get to play my 4 strings anymore, whenever I gig it is with a 5, and I can’t afford and don’t want to have my best & by some margin most expensive bass the one in my collection I play the least! I have priced this very cheap (for what it is) to sell. Bassbros have one exactly the same but black for £1599 and there’s one on eBay for about that price too, so I think I’ve put it up for a realistic selling price - I am always up for a deal, so give me a shout with what you have and see what we can sort Trades/PX: Definitely interested in potential trades & PX: 5 string Jazz or PJ (Similar standard - Xotic/Sei/Lakland/Fender etc) for a straight swap (or maybe with cash your way for the right thing), but also I’ll take PX with a cheaper bass plus cash I’m actively looking for a nice Lakland 55-01 at the mo (but I’d maybe take a 55-02, 55-60 or DJ5 as PX as well) or a Cort Elrick NJS5 I’d love a Yamaha BBP35, but would look at a BB735a or a TRB1005J. Happy to look at good cheaper basses - MIM Fender, 5 String RSD Ch-adowsky (PJ especially), Charvel San Dimas V, G&L Tribute L2500 - try me and see what can be worked out) I’m happy to do PX plus cash my way - drop me a message and the worst I can say is No thanks Also quite fancy a Jad Freer Capo and I’m after a HX Stomp again, so either/both of these would be acceptable as makeweights in a trade. I think I’m definitely making it fairly easy to do a deal and for someone to get their hands on an absolutely stone mint 🇯🇵 Sadowsky Jazz Bass! Shipping can be arranged if necessary but we can discuss it via PM
