I'm selling my Sadowsky Tokyo RJ5, I bought this used straight from Japan about a year ago. I'm sure if you're interested in this bass you already know about all the unique aspects of this model, not to mention that the Tokyo is becoming highly desirable and rare. Mine is 100% original - Ash body, maple on maple bound and blocked neck, hipshot ultra light tuners, mycarta nut, badass bass V bridge, Tokyo preamp with bass boost/treble boost-cut, Tokyo J 501 pickups, black pickup cover, weighs in a little over 10lb on my bathroom scale, comes with Sadowsky case and case candy. There is one imperfection between the bridge and bridge pickup between the D and G string, small nick that was there when I got it (see pics). There is some light 'funk scratching' on the pickguard, I've gigged the bass about once a week since I got it (I'm sure if you ever wanted a new pickguard that Jeannie's Pickguards still has a RJ5 template since Adrian G had some made for his similar bass). Other than that it is in great shape.

Here are some other TB threads on the same model as mine:

No Trades, I need to sell this one. I'd really like to get $2200 plus shipping on this since it is in great shape and all original. If using paypal you must cover the fees. I just shipped my Brubaker to a TBer, it cost $80 for USPS priority insured mail from me to continental US. I'm not in a big hurry to sell so I'll leave this up for a while before I think about lowering the price.

holy land of the rising sun! i have seen alot of sadowsky's on the net. this one takes the cake!

Geez Andy, all I can say is that I am glad that I am really lovin' my R Bass right now. That Sadowsky is awesome! I thought the Brubaker was something and now you parade this gem out into the game???? Enough!!! Stop the temptation!!!

Wow! That is just smokin'

and I'm sure it sounds even better than it looks

You said it's a little over 10 lbs., is definitely under 11 lbs.?

On my K-Mart bathroom scale it is definitely under 11lbs. I'll ask the neighbors and see if I can get it onto another bathroom scale and compare.

omg,

just a GORGEOUS sadowsky... yeesh!

OMG!!! this is SICK!

good luck

Yeah, yours was the inspiration for mine. Actually I think I almost bought yours first but didn't have the money so I referred him to you because I saw your want ad, then once you got it I saw all the pictures and heard all the clips and searched one out for myself.

yeah, well, if this gig that is supposed to start does, and my health holds up and i sell my Zephy, yadda, yadda, and you still have this, I'm getting it.

sick bass!!! congrats on a nice score iota, if you wind up with it. you have officially made the tb community jealous.

Congrats Iotanet.... I can see the Sad sickness has you firmly in its grasp... :help:

Guam to Norway could be tricky - let me check on it, give me a few days...

Thanks for the offers but I need to keep this one to sell only, no trades. I think I may try my luck over on ebay if this doesn't go here for 2k in the next day or two.

on hold pending payment
