soggs Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 (edited) Feeler anyone interested, its beautiful, built 2008, absolutely Immaculate, never been gigged has chambered body, its the lightest bass i think i've ever played, 7.65lbs (3.47kg), its Spalted Maple on Swamp Ash with a Birdseye Maple Fretboard, nordstrand Big Singles, Vintage Tone Control, Maple neck, signed and dated by the man himself back of headstock, I bought it last year, but have taken delivery of my GB rumour bass, and sadly due to finances i am having to sell this too, it really is a cracking bass and has everything on it that sadowsky supply, i priced it up with sadowsky to find out what cost new and they came back with $4650 at the time exchange rate came out around £3250 + import duty + postage, I paid £2200 for it last year, would like fairly close to this, the chap i bought it from was giging in pubs and clubs and could'nt bear the thought of it being damaged, if you saw it you'd understand, you probably saw my shuker on here too, i've had to do this for finance and to make way for my rumour, unfortunately like a lot of people i can't afford to have 30 basses in my arsenal, never mind eh!!! oh I had it set up by a great luthier, now its spot on, if you look on sold basses on sadowsky site its #5091, i have more photo's if want, oh comes with sadowsky case!

NAS Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 That looks absolutely lush! Low weight, and with the Big Singles the sound should be fantastic. If only I was a banker... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am that gigger! I 'loved' this bass and if it weren't for the fact I'm juggling the present basses that I have, then I'd be scratting about to try and get this back. Excellent bass.

Rumble Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 There's something about spalted maple that is just sooooooooooo outstandingly gorgeous and this is a particularly beautiful example. If only I could afford to buy it, I think I'd be tempted to hang it on a wall as a piece of art! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnybass Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 (edited) Hi Guys, Sorry, but this Bass is now in my hands. With some adjustments now the E string is added with a Sadowsky D tuner and sounds great!
