loudandclear Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 (edited) Up for sale My sadowsky NYC jazz. I have owned this bass for some years. It has not really been played that much but I have held on to it simply because it is such a beautiful instrument. It was always my intention to keep this regardless but now though having another Sadowsky to choose from and the current climate being as it, it is reluctantly up for sale. It has been confirmed by Sadowsky as made in June 1994. It is pre VTC so none fitted. It is very lightweight (8 1/4lbs - fairly accurate bathroom scales) it comes with a sadowsky lightweight case, it is currently strung with DR's and has had a new nut fitted and set up by the bass gallery recently. It is in very very good condition no real marks at all. It plays extremely well. I have owned many basses - this is one of real quality. Pricing is quite difficult on this - I originally thought £1750 but times as they are For sale at £1650 including delivery (comments welcome) . Viewing/trying welcome. No trades at this time - still need to reduce number of basses! As stated any queries/comments welcome either by post or PM. thanks [attachment=26338:DSC01028.JPG] [attachment=26339:DSC01048.JPG] [attachment=26340:DSC01055.JPG] [attachment=26342:sadnyc2.jpg] [attachment=26341:DSC01058.JPG] Edited June 6, 2009 by loudandclear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigwan Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I'll refer you to the comment I made on Marcus's Sadowsky sale thread the other day: "Not another bloody Sadowsky... this GAS has me blown up like a balloon! Wish I had £xxxx right now..." Seems to fit this thread too! Good luck with the sale mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nenor Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Is that a [b]one-piece[/b] ash body? I can't recall ever seeing one on a Sadowsky bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I'm also starting to get GAS for Sadowsky that I can't act on financially lol! This is a particularly nice one! Is there much difference between this 90's one and the one's they're putting out now, apart from the VTC. I'm assuming not much!? Si Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si[/quote] AFAIK Roger uses slightly different electronics (I believe made by Aguilar instead of Bartolini, although I think the design/specs are proprietory), different hardware (from narrower Schaller bridge to his own Gotoh clone with 20mm spacing on a 4 stringer) and, in my experience, the older necks tend to be slimmer. The changes may sound subtle to some and huge to others, it depends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
