Happy Jack Posted September 11, 2010 Author Share Posted September 11, 2010 No great mystery - he's selling a Sadowsky, it says Sadowsky on the headstock in his own photographs, but he's listed it as a Shadowsky thereby wiping out any chance of Saved Searches finding his listing. It's no big deal, I just found it amusing. As to warning the vendor, Ahpook, it's your call mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colledge Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 okay, i'll admit it, i always thought they were called shadowsky, not sadowsky. i have no idea how or why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilb Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 The seller has mistyped the name of the bass TWICE whilst creating this listing. If I spent that amount on a bass that he claims he has, I would make damn sure I knew what it was bloody called. I would question the provenance of this item myself.

RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 (edited) Looked at it a second time,and I think it's now got over 6 days to run. Having said that, to me , it looks like a cheap Fender copy .I know it isn't , but It doesn't do it for me Edited September 11, 2010 by RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted September 11, 2010 Author Share Posted September 11, 2010 Actually, I use [attachment=58597:WahlSterling2Plus.jpg] which is why I look like this: [attachment=58598:band_pics_022.web.jpg] The depressing thing is that, if I didn't use the clippers, I wouldn't look much different.

warwickhunt Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 [quote name='gareth' post='953114' date='Sep 11 2010, 08:29 PM']Mis-spellings like this or mis-classifications provide opportunities for canny buyers. Like this:- [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vintage-series-04-62-reissue-USA-Fender-precision-case-/320584615911?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item4aa45507e7"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vintage-series-04-62...=item4aa45507e7[/url] Sold for £599 - probably because the seller did not include "bass" in the description. £599 is a steal for these basses that cost more in sunburst and are available new here for £1539:- [url="http://www.dv247.com/guitars/fender-american-vintage-62-precision-bass-3-colour-sunburst--41159"]http://www.dv247.com/guitars/fender-americ...sunburst--41159[/url][/quote] I sold my 2009 USA P bass (sunburst), upgraded with a BA and Nordy pups (Jazz pup added by The Bass Gallery) for not much more than this; even though that may appear cheap it is basically the going rate for used instruments! As regards the Sado... I'd be inclined to be a tad suspicious of someone that owned a Sadowsky bass and didn't even know how to spell it (especially as has been noted, it is big and bold on the headstock).

goaround Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 To be fair to the seller its only been used in the [i]front[/i] room of the house, if you were [i]serious[/i] bass players you would know how important this is when buying a used [i]Shadowsky [/i] - and [b]its a beautiful fantastic playing guitar![/b] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
