VIEW FULL LIVE VERSION : Sadowsky RV4 Metro Bottom Dollar! SOLD!
5bassman 04-06-2007, 03:48 PM Ok, now it's up for sale, no trades.Picked up a Mint "83" Fender P bass!
I have a somewhat rare Sadowsky Metro here it seems. Creme Transparent White(not a bright white like the MV5 I had at one time), Ash body,Rosewood Board. Normally the Metros run like this,Alder body/Rosewood Board, Ash body/Maple Board. This came from Sadowsky ASH/ROSEWOOD. Near mint condition! Probably a 9.8-10. No VTC. Original Sadowsky case included. SOLD! Paypal fees or Postal M.O. This may well be a "one of a kind" without special ordering it this way and we know what that runs! Make me some offers but no trades.

Sufenta 04-06-2007, 05:37 PM Just picked up a USA Lakland BG PJ..........but this beauty is worth at least one bump:eek:
quadrogong 04-06-2007, 05:43 PM i just got an alder/morado metro last night!
i was surprised too, never ever saw morado (pau ferro) on a metro.
mine is an rs-4 though, not a vintage.
THIS,my friends..is a bass and a half.
believe it, it's all true..
the bottom end on these babies..these preamps are incapable of bad tones, no matter what settings they're on!
(unless u have a midrange control,like some do, the P basses, i think)
but yeah, i spent wednesday at sadowsky's shop, spoke with kevin for a long time, played 7-9 basses..and one thing, they're consistant. you kind of know what you're getting, the build is so meticulously perfect and uniform, that the basses all have a uniform,tight,cool feel..every one!
bumpalishous for this great j bass..
albass111 04-06-2007, 06:49 PM She's purdy....
chris818 04-06-2007, 07:11 PM this is a fantastic bass. i played this exact ash/morado see-thru white bass at the ampshop/bassexchange in sherman oaks last year. maybe its a special order, i dunno...but nonetheless a killer bass.
i ended up getting an oly white/tort shell with alder body...as you can see in my avatar.
sadowskys are excellent and yes, very consistent. i've played four and all seem to feel and sound very similar.
someone buy this.
5bassman 04-06-2007, 08:01 PM I emailed Roger about it after I got it and all he could figure was that there was a screw up at the Japan shop with the Ash/Rosewood deal. Here's the Production records Roger emailed me. It says the body should be Alder but it's obviously Ash.
ML#:ML475
Model:RV4 TWH (Must be Alder Body and Rosewood board.)
Serial:M5XX
ML Dealer:Amp shop / Bass Exchange, SO, CA
Completion Date:2005/04/15
chris818 04-06-2007, 10:04 PM Oh...so that is the very bass I played..sweet! I had no idea you bought it from the bassexchange over here in Cali. Small world. Someone buy it, its a sweet jazz bass. good luck with the sale.
5bassman 04-07-2007, 07:12 PM NEW PRICE! $1700 shipped, split Paypal fees. for a nearly new condition Sadowsky! Pictures don't do this thing justice!
Alistair R 04-08-2007, 05:28 AM Bargain!
5bassman 04-08-2007, 07:21 PM I agree. I guess the markets down right now on these.Make me some "reasonable" cash offers. I'll take it to Ebay soon, I guess. If you want a unique Sadowsky Jazz, this is it! Could pass for new folks!
Oh, comes with Dunlop straploks! That'll help it sell!:)
chris818 04-08-2007, 07:51 PM If I may butt in, 5bassman, your price is fair. Take nothing less than you're already asking.
If it was a three-tone sunburst, I'd but it right now!
AJ Brown 04-08-2007, 08:01 PM Man, I love this combination. I wish I had the free cash.

No problem butting in. I rarely find Sadowsky's at this price and condition when I'm in the market for one.
iualum 04-09-2007, 09:15 PM ...I have a custom Valenti w/Darkstars on my mind, otherwise I'd strongly consider this...
