***FS Sadowsky Metro MV4***
 

For sale I have a Beautiful Sadowsky Metro 4 string.I just recently purchased. I might be overly picky or "stupid" on this but I am not digging the brightness of the Maple fretboard....I paid $1775 even though it was listed as $1750 because I wanted to meet the owner about half way on paypal fees...Most people re-list asking they don't want to make money and just get what they paid....well for me I will list it $75 less than what I paid!!!
Asking $1700 shipped CONUS!!!...will be hard pressed to find a baby like this for cheaper...:bassist::bassist::bassist:
Here is the thread that the previous seller had....He is a much better picture taker than me...:bassist:

Bump for a great honest TB'er and a killer bass I wish I could afford! Someone needs to jump on this!

Just a note. If it has vtc, you can try that along w some nickel strings

It was a 5er, I'd be doing a local sale :)

DAMN!
 

Damn I wanted this two weeks ago!!!!! Then I ordered my Coda 5er, oh well...BUMP

Thanks for the bumps guys!...Pm's answered!...No!!...I will not take less than $1700. I am also debating Bikeplate's suggestion about nickels....this thread might be closed this weekend as I am REALLY thinking about putting nickels....I am 50/50 on this.:confused::confused::confused:

I would at least Try it live with the band. Other than my Rick, I never got so many compliments on sound as with My Sadowsky.

I put TI flats on mine and it sounds great. Rethink this ......

Jeff is great to deal with and this bass is awesome!! Wish I could swing it!!

Jeff, I really believe nickels will make a tonal difference. If you feel crazy try some DR coated strings they add a neat little compression tone you might like. I have used black beauties but here the dragon skins sound good too. My goto nickels are daddarios....45-105

Bumparoo for a good guy.

It indeed has VTC

Bass is temporarily on hold (to myself)...while second thoughts are being weighted out...:confused:

+1 on trying nickel strings and experimenting with the VTC.
Back when I could afford it, I had an RV-4 (still kick myself for selling it) and an MV-4 at the same time and with the same strings I was hard pressed to hear all that much difference in the tone. I usually don't go for maple fingerboards and others may have had different experiences, but if I ever get the chance to buy another Sadowsky I probably wouldn't hesitate to get a maple fingerboard model if it's one I like. They're easy to tame.

That was my old bass. I never thought that it was too bright. The string on that bass (Sadowsky Blue SS) is less than a month old. May be that's why. I always used VTC to mellow out the tone. Sadowsky is very versatile and you can get just about any tone out of the bass.

Jeff.....nickels man....I swear.....stainless doesn't work on everything....mellow...mellow......I have faith! :-). Tame that sabre!

By the private feedback from many and a "VERY" knowledgeable Sadowsky Artist I have decided to hold onto this 8.6lb Metro(which I hear is not common)....Mine for now!!!...Thanks Guys!!! :bassist::bassist::bassist:
