SOLD.
Sadowsky Metro RV5 natural alder with vintage tint. I bought this in September '11 and it is in mint condition, with no dings, scratches, rash or fret wear. The ONLY sign of wear is some extremely faint scratching in the pickguard below the G (normal wear here) and a 1/4 inch round imperfection in the finish of the pickguard in the same area. I couldn't get either of these to show up in a photo (I'm not that good with lighting).
The neck on this bass has some noticeable quilting in the wood which is visible on the headstock and all along the back of the neck. The fingerboard is actually a little darker than most of the photos make it look, but it isn't as dark as some are.
The only reason I'm selling this bass is that I am moving to the 1 3/4 nut width basses. Other than what is described above this is in NEW condition.

Comes with a gig bag.
$2100 shipped Conus. echeck/bank transfer/money order preferred. Serious buyers only, please. I won't reply to lowball offers.
The ONLY trade I will consider is a Sadowsky NYC JJ-5 with a 1 3/4 nut in an acceptable color and condition, and of course I would kick in $$$ to balance the deal.
