For sale: Sadowsky Metro Standard 5 (MS5) Natural finish
This is a killer bass! I bought it from the Sadowsky shop while it was on consignment and they had it listed "Mint condition...indistinguishable from new". That's no joke!! Rob checked it out and confirmed how killer it is! (Thanks man. Wish I could keep it!) It is truly mint and sweet.
But my custom came in about the same time, so its been hanging in the case and is in the same condition as when I got it. Hurts, but here it is.
Mint: Still has the plastic on the back of the body and around the pickups. 10 out of 10
Lightweight: 8.95 lbs! (Kevin weighed it for me.)
Natural finish with a sweet grain / maple fretboard
Humcancelling pickups
VTC installed
w/Sadowsky standard case and all the case candy (Tools, Sadowsky Everyday Polish, and Sadowsky T-Shirt!!)
$2000 shipped CONUS. Truly indistinguishable from new.

Shirt is XL and has never been worn. Microfiber cloth still in the plastic and seal hasn't been broken on the polish.

Buy it, Steve.
