Hi Guys.
Up for sale is my Dakota Red Sadowsky P bass. This is by no means a "standard" or "normal" P bass, nor is it even your "normal" Sadowsky. The bass itself took 8 months and 27 days to build, this is a great opportunity to pick up a phenomenal custom instrument without having to wait..... and wait........ and wait.........
This is a "one of a kind" not only in Australia, but the world.
The Specs!
* Swamp Ash body (lightweight)
* Maple Neck
* Maple Fingerboard
* 1.625" width at the nut (not the usual 1.75" for a Sadowsky P bass, nor is it the 1.5" of a Sadowsky Jazz)
* Dakota Red with Matching headstock
* No face dots along the fingerboard
* Parchment Pickguard (Off-White)
* Sadowsky 2 Band Pre-amp with VTC
* Chrome Sadowsky Hardware
* Hipshot D-Tuner
* Dunlop Straplocks
I am happy to answer any questions you may have about the bass, im selling because i find im using my 5 String Jazz more and more, and this bass less.
There are some markings on the bass, the biggest of which would be on the pickups. There is also a very small ding on the rear side of the neck behind the 6th Fret and one on the tip of the headstock (you can thank my guitarist for that one)
Included with the bass will be the Sadowsky Hardshell case, all the case candy (polish cloths, polish, tools etc) as well as the paperwork from Sadowsky.
I payed US$3,925 for the bass less than 2 years ago, so i figure a fair price to be
US$3000. To have the same bass built you'd be looking at the following- (US $)
Ash 4 String- 3225
Vintage Style- 200
Matching HS- 200
Custom Neck- 200 (i also had to get special approval from the man himself for this one)
Hipshot D Tuner- 100
I also believe the Sadowsky prices have gone up this year, these prices were taken from when i ordered the instrument in May '08.
This is a real opportunity to own a one of a kind bass, without having to go through the ordering and the very long wait.
Im happy to ship anywhere on this planet, feel free to email/PM me and we'll talk shipping. (I'm in Sydney Australia)
