Higgie Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago (edited) Don't really want to do this, but last in, first out etc. as I need the money. It's a modified Japanese Metroline Sadowsky M5-24, and it is bloody marvelous. Bought this on here last year for the exact same price. It's in exactly the same condition (solid 9.5/10), having only done one gig with me, and comes with the rectangular Sadowsky case and the original pickups. It's been modified by the original owner, who replaced the pickups with Nordstrands, moved the front pickup slightly closer to the neck, and put a third pickup in the middle, so it's almost like a Dingwall with straight frets 🤣 Pickup pan pot has been replaced with a 5 way selector giving you the following pickup combos: Solo Neck, Neck and Middle, Middle, Middle and Bridge, Bridge. It sounds AWESOME. Combined with the passive tone control, and the 2 band EQ you have access to a TON of tones. The neck pickup on it's own is quite thumpy and P-like. The bridge pickup is super pokey and burpy like a solo'd J Bass bridge pup, but the really cool thing is that the two positions that combine pickups (Neck & Middle/Middle & Bridge) are really reminiscent of a Stingray, with an element of that "thing" that Stingrays have going on in the top end. The amount of tones available, it also being a 5 string, and having 24 frets, make it the perfect function/gigging bass as it covers so much territory! Add in the fact that it is also nice and light (3.9kg/8.6lbs) it's pretty much perfect! No trades, as I'm definitely needing the cash on this one. £1900 collected from Ickenham NW London (J1 of the M40). While postage is possible at the expense of the buyer, I would strongly prefer collection. I can also travel to meet the prospective buyer within reason. Edited 2 hours ago by Higgie Quote
