edpirie Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 (edited) This is the Will Lee signature model RV4 (Metro series). Notable tweaks to the classic RV4 design include a mid-boost switch (two selectable frequencies), which lets you put some extra thump into the classic Jazz scooped sound, Hipshot Xtender on the E string, 22 frets, and very slightly slimmer width at the nut. There are no dinks or scratches anywhere that I can see - it really is mint condition. All specs together with links to reviews are at: [url="https://www.sadowsky.com/instruments/will_lee_model.html"]https://www.sadowsky..._lee_model.html[/url] I can't fault this bass - it has the classic punchy fundamental of a Sadowsky with mid-boost, and a super-playable neck. You're welcome to come and try it in Central London, or I could post at your cost (comes in a 'semi-hard' case which seems to be pretty bomb-proof). Price is what I paid for it at the Gallery, which I thought was pretty reasonable given they're £2,200 on Thomann, but will consider near offers. No trades except possibly Guild Starfire. Thanks for looking, and please do check my feedback thread in my signature.

Christian Houmann Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Do you know the weight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edpirie Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 Hi, afraid I don't have good enough scales to give an accurate weight. From old listings on TalkBass they seem to vary between 8lb 2oz and 8lb 10oz, which is probably about right. If I can get hold of a decent set this week I'll post the actual weight. Thanks for your interest, Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edpirie Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 Here's a link to a Youtube video (not mine) of the bass being used for a house groove. Only one of the possible tones but the sort I've gravitated towards.

edpirie Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 Just got myself some digi scales and the bass weighs in at 8lb 13oz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edpirie Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) I'll probably give this another one to two weeks and then take it back to the Gallery for a commission sale, so will consider close offers.
