Sadowsky MB-ASH-UV70-5 string Japan £2495 The Netherlands, Hilversum

[will4bass]

Japanese Sadowsky 5 string in very good condition with all the 70’s DNA a five string Jazz Bass could possibly have.

Ash body, maple neck/board, bound neck, block inlays. Pickups in 70’s position providing for more clear and tight sound options.

Bass is fitted with new Sadowsky single coils and new pre amp with VTC. I can reïnstall the original Sadowsky humfree pickups

and pre amp (with no VTC) if desired.

 

Frets are like new and provide for action as low as you like. This is quite an early UV70  which means the neck is not reïnforced

with graphite strips as the woods were still top quality. Maybe I am delusional but in my hands I feel a more organic bass that

sounds more like wood than the later ones. Not better, but different. Comes with the well known Sadowsky rectangular semi hard case. 

These are arguably the best '70's Jazz fivers around they are relatively rare (not sure, maybe hundreds or less exist) and they

are not being produced anymore. On par with the NYC quality, not with any MIG and MIC I played. Offers considered.
