Hey all,

The ONLY reason I am selling this bass is because I have a rare chance to get a great deal on my dream bass and quickly need to generate some extra funds. The opportunity might not last long, so in the event that I miss out I'm just going to keep this beauty. I acquired this sexy MV4 a few weeks ago from one of the greatest guys to work with around here, rayzak (they're also his pics that you see below-thanks man- if he wants it back, he gets first dibs!).

The bass weighs 8.8lbs, has a stunning trans-white finish over a nicely grained piece of ash, and a slamming maple neck. It's currently set up perfectly with chromes (.105's) and absolutely kills (has the VTC). If you want, I can put a set of black beauties on it instead of the flats. I'm gonna call the condition 8.5/10 for some pickguard swirls and a minute hairline, surface crack at the neck pocket. Otherwise totally mint with no issues. Nothing touches this bass at this price point. Compared to my old UV70, this bass grinds and sits even better in the mix. She also thumps surprisingly well and is about a pound lighter.

You'll get the original Sadowsky case in excellent condition, the original tools, and shipping is included in what is a very reasonable price. I accept paypal or check.

$SOLD

IlCapo is a great guy and very easy to work with.

This was my bass and it's a sweet player and absolutely gorgeous. It's hard to see the grain in pics, but it's luscious like thick, white chocolate.






This is an amazing deal for a fellow TB'r. Why not let it be you Believe me, if I could afford it right now, I would buy this back in a heartbeat.

Hope IlCapo doesn't mind, but, I bought it new from Bass Emporium in '04. It has been handled with great care and I think IlCapo is being very conservative with the "8.5" rating he gave it. I'd give it at least a 9
I can't stress how much I admire this bass. The ONLY reason I got rid of it was because the right deal came up and I wanted to go passive.

Hey, i'm just being honest, and since I can't afford to buy her back, i'd like to find her a good home and help a great TB'r out while i'm at it

Thanks again, I really appreciate it.

And it really is a killer bass. I can't believe how versatile it is, especially with the flats. If the bass I'm eyeballing happens to sell, I'm keeping her! Clock is ticking...
