FS: 1989 Sadowsky NYC Standard 4

Sign in to disble this ad
Early Sadowsky Jazz in great condition with all original hardware and electronics, except for the addition of a Hipshot Xtender key. The original finish had some buckle rash when I received the bass from Bass Club Chicago, nothing through to the wood, but enough to have the bass refinished by Pat Wilkins. The bass was also refretted during this time by Eric Chaz at Eric's Guitar Shop, Inc. in Van Nuys, CA.

The bass will ship with an original Sadowsky form fit, molded hard case and your choice of either a short or medium Sadowsky Neoprene strap.

The following is an excerpt from an email exchange with Sadowsky regarding the specific construction and vintage of this bass according to their records based upon the serial number:

Our records going back this far are a bit sketchy.
All I have in the log is the following:

Bass with morado board.
Maple top on basswood body.
Cherry Burst finish.
EMG pickups.
Black hardware.
Built: April 26th 1989 (or 90)

Asking $2,250 + actual insured domestic ground shipping ($50 maximum charge); international shipping (including AK, HI & PR) also available, with buyer assuming responsibility for all actual shipping, duties and/or additional charges.

Bump for a vintage Sadowsky! I have a 1988 one and the necks on these puppies are to die for! Super comfy and fast!

That's an awesome stripe running through the upper and lower bouts!

Wow, I remember that bass! It stole a lot of hearts when it was in our shop. We don't get a lot of used Sadowskys (much less NYC's) because people don't really give them up easily. Great action, and eye catching flame maple top. Best of luck to you and the new owner!

Thanks for the post... and for a great bass! It has served me well. I know it will serve the next owner just as well.

so cool, it says," Sadowsky guitars Ltd" i looks almost like a handwritten logo,
I've never seen a maple top like that on a Sadowsky.
Got my eyes on this baby.

Foolish question but how much does it weigh?
