Sadowsky MS4 in '59 burst with VTC and Gator HSC or gig bag - your choice. Original papers & warranty included. Body wood is swamp ash and pups are Sadowsky Humcancelling Js. It sounds absolutely fantastic and plays very well.

I looked really hard for any flaws on this bass, and only found a couple. Both are shown in the pictures at Photobucket. There are two small scuff marks right behind the bridge (looks like it was from a sloppy string change where the string scuffed the body). There is another mark on the back of the body in the "tummy cutout", which is shown in one of the pictures. It's looks worse in the picture than if you were actually looking at the bass. It's actually not that noticeable. Also, it weighs in at 9.0 on my bathroom scale, so I think it must be somewhere between 8.75 and 9.25 lbs. I believe it was made in 2004 or 2005 based on the serial number (I believe the Metro line was started in 2004, and this has a fairly low serial #).

$1,400 shipped in the US.

Right? Thanks for the bump, LeonD. I have another one on hold as soon as this one sells or I win the lottery, whichever comes first...

All pm's replied to. Really just looking to sell at this point. Before i would trade it away, I would keep it, except if another sadowsky came along....

Great deal on this. I just pulled the trigger on one like this but with pick guard, I paid much more, someone will be getting a stellar bass at great price.

For sure. I also just spent a bundle on a UV70 after i played this the night i got it at my bands practice. I was blown away, but too prefer the pickguard, so I found a 2007 and did a partial trade/cash deal. Sadowskys are like a Fender custom "plus" I actually like the feel & sound better than my fender custom (Im becoming a heretic!)
