CHRISDABASS Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 (edited) Hey one of my on going projects requires me to tune this bass down nearly all the time so i thought it might make more sense to get a 5 string! its a totally awesome bass! gorgeous sound and playability etc! so im probably gonna regret offering it up for trade! .......anyway see pics [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=22889&hl=sadowsky"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...amp;hl=sadowsky[/url] i bought it new in july and its still in brand new condition! Trade wise all i want is a sadowsky RV5 or an equivalent NYC model! (i would add cash to the deal for an NYC obviously) any colour considered but it must have a rosewood board! i dont want any other make of bass so please dont offer anything else! cheers Edited January 10, 2009 by CHRISDABASS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quatschmacher Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 If someone would just buy my house (without trying to rip me off) then I'd buy this in an instant! Chris, just wondering why you were looking for an RV5 as opposed to a UV5, I'd be interested to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Fair enough, thanks for the reply. Having never had the fortune to play a Sadowsky perhaps you could tell me - does it nail the passive Fender tone?
