I was really on the fence with selling this which is why I pulled it off the listing. But decided, I just am not getting enough use of the beautiful bass. So here it is again.
For sale is a 2009 Sadowsky NYC Standard 4 Fretless bass. Hands down the finest fretless jazz style bass you will find. This bass features a gorgeous Flamed Spalted Maple top on a chambered Swamp Ash body. Nice and light, under 8 lbs!
This bass does not have a “standard” Sadowsky neck profile. The neck was shaped to match my 1988 Sadowsky bass. Sadowsky basses back then had a thinner neck profile then the ones made today. Super fast neck!
Also this bass has the pickups in the 70’s Jazz Bass location, meaning the bridge pickup it slight closer to bridge like a Jazz Bass from the 70’s. This gives the bass a bit more mid-punch and growl, perfect for a fretless!
The bass is in mint condition, zero issues. It maybe has a total of 20 hrs of playing on it. I used it mainly in the studio. Here are the specs:
- Body: Flamed Spalted Maple over chambered Swamp Ash
- Finish: ’59 Burst
- Neck: Maple with Lined Fretless Ebony Fretboard - 1.5" Width at nut
- Pickups: Sadowsky Hum-cancelling Jazz Pickups
- Preamp: Standard Sadowsky
- Controls: Volume, Pan, VTC control, Treble/Bass Boost (stacked knob)
Hardware: Sadowsky Bridge and Tuners - Black

I will ship it in either a Gator hardshell case or a Sadowsky Port-a-Bag. Note, the Port-a-Bag has some wear on it since I use it all the time with my other basses. Let me know which one you want.
This is your chance to get practically brand new Sadowsky without the 8-10 month wait!
