birdy Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 (edited) The Sadowsky Metro and the fretless jazz are sold/withdrawn respectively. Last one for sale is the fender custom shop.... Fender Custom shop 1970 jazz limited edition 1 of 100 only made. Its a stunning natural wood colour with maple neck and inlays. One was just on eBay for BIN of £1900 and starting at £1500 I think. I got this in a swap and it really is a hard decision as to whether to keep this or the sadowsky. I think this is more playeable but I prefer the tone of the sad but its marginal in both departments. It comes with a fender special cream LE case. I have gigged this bass but theres no damage to it that I can see. There are some scratches on the case which is a shame but they are meant to be used. I was going to ask £1400 for this but due to the slight case damage I will let go for around £1300. Would prefer anyone who is interested to come and try the bass rather than post where possible. I am based centrally in North Birmingham Any questions fire away. Not desperate to sell but I get in trouble if I have too many basses from my better half....

birdy Posted November 4, 2007 Author Share Posted November 4, 2007 Sadowsky Metro sold and fretless withdrawn ( I have put a fretted neck on it) so only the custom shop for sale. This is a stunning bass really. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdy Posted November 6, 2007 Author Share Posted November 6, 2007 Another bump before I pursue other avenues with this such as shipping it down to the Gallery or vintage and rare. Heres a link to a new one at Mansons which will cost you £2.5K [url="http://www.mansons.co.uk/product_info.cfm?productID=FDRJAZZ70&menu_drilldown=product&typegroup=Bass%20Guitars&type=Fender%20Bass&CFID=4755897&CFTOKEN=83730315"]http://www.mansons.co.uk/product_info.cfm?...FTOKEN=83730315[/url] Thanks for any interest - I have all of the case candy, certificate, pick up covers, strap etc that came with the bass. Only thing marginally 'wrong' is a few scratches to the case. This will hold its price and go up in value. Plus its an awesome bass!!

Did you own this actual bass? I got it off Marcus from this forum. I suspect you mean that you had a different one! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdy Posted November 12, 2007 Author Share Posted November 12, 2007 Another bump as I can't be bothered to send this to a shop yet. Would consider part ex possibly plus cash and maybe interested in Precisions or stingrays potentially. I have just 'discovered' precisions.

Steve" Hi, Not the Custom shop, but the Fender JB with maple neck, maple body, white pickguard, white Pearloid block and the S4xxxxx series(1974), an amazing and beautiful bass I've ever had. I sold it since 10years (because i'm too youuuuuuung) and now I search for it, why not this custom shop? Because it's a pretty expensive, but this costs that way... I don't like the MM cause the pickguard is too big, the electronics is poor (preamp I mean) and the signature are not a bass but a merchandising (this is my way of thinking...)

Steve A Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Hi Steve, Did you sell the 5 string Sadowsky then? Just a note to everyone, I've played this very bass (custom shop Jazz) and absolutely loved it. It has a fullness and warm I really enjoyed. It's well balanced and a nice weight. It's probably a better player than my 1975 Jazz... See you soon Steve! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flanker Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Quite right Funkmonkey! That's why I just traded my Roscoe for this bass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
