This is absolutely only a feeler. I wanted a 59' Burst VJJ5 forever and ultimately ordered one and received it last year. However, it's so similar to my main Sadowsky in terms of spec, I'm not sure that it makes sense to keep it.
If I can find another interesting Sadowksy or AC, I might consider a trade.
Here are the specs:
- NYC Vintage JJ 5
- Ash body
- Upgraded quilted Maple top
- 59 burst finish
- Stunning birdseye Maple fingerboard
- 8 lb chambered body
- Single coil Sadowsky pickups
- Sadowsky Portabag
The bass is literally brand new. It's never even left my practice room. It might have 90 minutes of playing time on it -- Literally. It is an amazing instrument in every way. It does everything you would expect from an instrument of this caliber and is very much the quintessential Sadowsky model. A truly wonderful piece.
The
only trades I'm intersted in are:
- Alleva Coppolo 5 (LM Deluxe or LG Classic)
- Sadowsky NYC 5 w/ exotic top
- Fodera 5 or 6 (plus cash on my end.)
Please do not contact me with any other trades.
NOTE: Not shown in the photo is a chrome pickup cover that was installed at Sadowsky the day I picked up the instrument.
Thanks,
JC
