Arnoldoc Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 (edited) Selling my USA (not Satin) made Sadowsky. Early 2000s model in very good condition with with some wear and a few small marks in the finish and headstock (pictured) which is reflected in the price. The bass plays beautifully and can be setup with very low action if desired. Lots of fret life left. *Ash body *Rosewood fingerboard *Single Coil pickups *Sadowsky 2 band preamp with VTC - Volume, Pan, Vintage tone control, Stacked Treble/Bass *3.9kg/8.6lb *Comes in a Sadowsky case. Bass originally built without a pick guard but I have a tortoiseshell one as in the picture. I didn't want to make the screw holes yet for flexibility. Comes with an additional Sadowsky bridge too. Get an NYC Sadowsky for the price of a new Metro. Not looking for trades. Only exception a Stenback 5 + cash your way or a Fender Pino. Feedback thread below.

FilipBass Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 (edited) What is the string spacing at the new bridge? Is it adjustable? Btw is this the one? https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Sadowsky_NYC_5.html Thanks! Edited August 18, 2022 by FilipBass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's the one. Edited August 18, 2022 by Arnoldoc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwilym Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I had my eye on this when it was at Bass Direct too, I guess you've only had it a few months. I even emailed Sadowsky about it with a couple of questions, and I quote: "This bass is pre-chambering. The mini switch is the prep bypass." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was sold to me second hand as rosewood but happy for you to check with Roger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
