loudandclear Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) I bought this bass new, Direct from Sadowsky new York in 2008 (I still have the receipt). It has been gigged about once a month on average from then until recently so shows a few signs of use but has been very well looked after and is generally in very good condition. It sounds as you would expect, fantastic! the PJ combination gives you a wide variety of tone and the preamp is very powerful. Things have changed music wise for me and it is not getting used now and although I would love to hang on to it, regretfully its for sale. I do have the sadowsky light case but it leaks a bit now so has been gafferred up in a few places! The strings are DR black beauties and have worn a bit which looks a bit iffy in the photos so maybe a new set of strings required but other than that the bass will make someone very happy I am sure. Tryout collection welcome. Questions comments on price or bass welcome. Pics will follow shortly cheers Edited February 5, 2013 by loudandclear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Williams Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Is that aftermarket side LEDs? If so, where did you get those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Williams Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 BTW I have the Sadowsky Metro version of this and it is incredible - so many different tones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loudandclear Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 Apologies my original post was probably not totally clear. This is a metro bass I just bought it direct from sadowsky. It also has fretfx fitted (fretfx.com (gary they are great)) which if you dont like are totally removable without a trace . Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beedster Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Aw man, what a lovely bass. I'm looking for a passive Precision as a studio bass, but that is really calling my name, even though it's £500 over budget. There's no denying the quality of Sadowsky, I've owned three and each was outstanding in so many ways. Damn........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Hi Chris, nice one - yes it is a quality instrument, it wont be the last one I own ! Hope your studio goes well although I have read your recent posts and you are not going to have time to record much for a while! if you have a change of heart as you know a sadowsky P+J in a live or recorded mix is a beautiful thing!

CBR75 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Beautiful bass ! Any idea of the weight ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norwood Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Under 10 lbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBR75 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) 10 lbs would be a bit too heavy for my back (a slipped disc in the neck). But still... Edited January 27, 2013 by CBR75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loudandclear Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Will actually weigh this tomorrow but from memory it's a little under 10 lbs but never felt this heavy and I was surprised when it was weighed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] The bass has a good balance, that's why. And under 10 lbs, it's still pretty light for an ash body ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 My Ash bodied Sadowsky PJ clocks in at 9lb 1oz, I have a feeling that the quality of wood is good and consistent so I'd not be surprised to see most Ash bodied Metro basses under 10lb.

Pm if any interest. Many thanks Edited February 5, 2013 by loudandclear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loudandclear Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 (edited) I have had a large number of trade offers on this - thank you very much but really looking for a sale . Not much interest on cash offers and could do with shifting this now so price reduced before I contemplate evilbay. This is a cracking bass! cheers Edited February 5, 2013 by loudandclear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
