Traded: Sadowsky Will Lee

Hi!
I've got a 4str Sadowsky Will Lee and am looking to trade it for preferably a 5 string. All of JJ, P or PJ are interesting. I'd prefer to change it to an Alleva Coppolo (with cash from my side) or Sadowsky, but other trades in the same price range could be interesting too so keep 'em coming! I also might consider a five string Ken Smith of some kind.

The bass is in perfect condition apart from a small chip in the headstock (visible on pic. 3). It has the thinnest slickest neck I've played and weighs in at around 3,5 kg. It has single coil pickups instead of the humbucking pickups found on a lot of other Sadowskys but since the shielding is so well done any pickup hum is virtually inaudible. The bass also features a mid boost switch not available on other NYC basses which gives the already versatile bass even more sound variations, although it's hard to find any bad sounds...

All in all, this is a fantastic instrument!

Here's a review.

Info:
Swamp ash body, chambered for enhanced resonance and light weight (ca 3,5 kg)
Candy Apple Red finish with matching headstock.
Brazilian rosewood fingerboard. sleek 1.45” nut width.
Graphite reinforced neck and slightly larger headstock to reduce dead spots.
12" fingerboard radius.
Chrome hardware.
Frets: 22 nickel/silver .090" wide x .048" high
Tuners: Custom Hipshot/Sadowsky gears with D-tuner (drops to C if desired)
Sadowsky single coil pickups.
Will Lee preamp with midrange boost and the traditional 2 band Sadowsky FET preamp. The mid preamp is by-passable as is the standard preamp. Vintage tone control

Here are a few pictures. It's hard to really capture the candy apple red finish with a crappy iPhone camera...
