FT ONLY SADOWSKY METRO RV-4 in OLYMPIC WHITE

Sign in to disble this ad
This is a simple trade...I am looking for a 4 string Sadowsky with a maple board. I have a Sadowsky NYC that takes care of the rosewood vibe. I would like to have the snap of a maple board, so I'm putting my Sad metro up for trade.

The bass is in really good shape and comes with the VTC, installed by Lisa at the shop. This is one of those rare ones that's light for a Metro...just a little over 8 lbs. The finish on the body has a small nick that you wouldn't notice unless I told you. The head stock has some very small marks, created by my drummer playing in close quarters. Again, they're pretty insignificant, but I like full disclosure on these things. The Olympic White body color is mellowing to a nice cream, and looks gorgeous, although I'm having a hard time picking it up in pictures.

Trades considered are 4 string only
Sadowsky Metro's or Sadowsky NYC's
Obviously, I would add money if trade was for an NYC.
No UV-70's....I'm really digging the undersized J bodies.

Preference to NYC's and Maple/Ash combo's, but send me what you have

Here are some pictures, but I will get better ones up later on..
Thanks!

Is the headstock matching? The bass looks great.

I had a feeling it wasn't matching because the grain showed through the headstock. It still looks great!

Here's a good chance to try out a Rosewood 'board on a sweet Sadowsky.
