warwickhunt Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 (edited) I've not had this a great length of time (no smart ar5ed comments from the regulars please ) but the Sadowsky is literally getting all of the use and for a completely alternative bass my other option is the Bolin... so this is gathering dust (as evidenced in the headstock pic ). It has Bartolini pups and a retro-fitted Bartolini pre. The bass is in very good condition with one small ding through to the wood but no nasty bucklerash etc. The neck frets etc are all spot on and as with most Zons there isn't even need for a truss rod as the neck doesn't budge. I'd not be adverse to a trade but it would need to be for something interesting/different, so sorry no Squiers, MIM Jazz Yamaha RBX etc. I'm not adverse to adding cash to a deal if your bass is priced right. I'm not in any great hurry to shift this (in fact after plugging it in just now I'm gonna gig it tonight for a change... unlikely to be any interested parties in Rowlands Gill I suppose ). Shoot me any offers via PM. Edited November 25, 2009 by warwickhunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Jones Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Before I managed to find a Sonus on here a couple of years ago, I asked the Gallery for a quote on a new one with exactly the same spec as this. The quoted price was getting on for £2,500. Can't recommend these enough. The necks are amazing - the graphite means the action can get vanishingly low. They're very light and balance really well. They're also very 'unclicky' for a graphite necked bass with a very rich, woody sound. Believe me John, if I had the cash... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnozzalee Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Thats a cracking price! Oh no way, thats you!! I thought it was Mark Wahlberg with long hair haha (no offence intended). This should be gone very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warwickhunt Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 A couple of pics of the 'damage' on the bass. I should add that the bass is in pretty good condition for its age but it is a gigging bass not a museum/collectors piece. Sorry for the gratuitous 'foot' shot and the flash does appear to make it look worse than it is but there you go. There is also a small nick/chip out of the headstock, just a surface sliver but as pictured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
