FS: Sadowsky Metro RV5 - 59' Burst SOLD!

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey everyone. I thought she was going to be the one i keep for life but I'm not gigging anymore and i need money for an engagement ring. Sad to let her go but another lady is number 1 now.

I bought this bass exactly 2 years ago new from Jive Sound and she's been nothing but great to me. Primarily used every Sunday on the church worship team but gigged a handful of times and used to record two EPs. Used but definitely far from abused. Not dents or dings. Just normal play wear. Still shines like a beauty and sounds... well you know.

Alder/Morado with humcancelling pups. No VTC but never felt the need for it as i love the sound as is. 9.2lbs on the bathroom scale. Very comfortable to play for hours on end. Comes in the original Sadowsky Ultralight case that has never actually been used other than to ship the bass to me. Had a Portacase waiting so i put the ultralight case back in the box, in my closet, and took it out for the first time just now. Comes with all the wrenches and i'll even throw in the Sadowsky everyday polish and polishing cloth. Currently strung with Sadowsky Blue Label Nickel 40-125 and will string it up with a fresh set or just throw it in the case depending on what you prefer.

$1700 shipped to CONUS. Money order or paypal e-check only. Please no trade offers... the jewelers don't accept basses as payment.

If you would like the portacase as well, i can include that for $120 shipped.

Sorry for the pictures. My talents don't include photography.

As an older, wiser man, let me offer this advice. Keep the bass, dump the girl.

Thanks, Van Gogh! It certainly is. So magnificent that you should own it.

Haha Jeff i'm going to have to make sure i check back here when she's not next to me. Actually, she wants me to keep the bass. It's more on me and what i feel is the wisest. You may proceed to call me a fool now.

I would never call you a fool! You have to do what feels right. Good luck, and I wish you and your soon to be wife all the best!
I had a Sadowsky just like this. They are the best basses.

Honestly, this is my dream bass - I was thinking about doing a warmouth build with the exact same spects. Adding up future gigs in my mind as I type this...what could I sell....

Dang!

PS - Congrats, BTW. I'm lucky enough to have a wife who enjoys my musical hobby and is quite supportive. Life is good, and I wish you the same.

Thanks for the kind words guys. My gal definitely supports me w/ my music. If she didn't, I wouldn't be so sure that i found a keeper.

The bass really is just so so nice. Felt right the moment i picked her up and sounded right with the first note. What more is there? Oh and she's definitely a looker too. 59 burst w/ the tort guard... mmmmm.

Keep thinking, van gogh. Where there's a will there's a way!

Not sure about the kidney on the forum but you could always try ebay? Oh wait... didn't someone try that already? Perhaps Craigslist?
