Sadowsky NYC 24-5 Spaltflame/Ebony

For sale (only) my beloved Sadowsky. This bass is incredible in every way but doesn't get much play any more so I'm cutting her loose.

#4679
Spalted Flame Maple Top w/ pinstripe option
Ebony Board
Chambered Swamp Ash Body
VTC
Hard Case
~8.4lbs

Unaltered, bone stock from Roger. Recently strung with a fresh set of black labels.

I'd like to net $3500 from this transaction.

Please don't waste your time with low ball offers.









Here is the link which I bought it from:
Sadowsky NYC 24-Fret 5, premium options, as new!

I've added a Sad hardshell case since then.

Here is the link to photobucket containing a bunch of additional pix:

I've since added a Sad HSC and fresh set of strings. I feel its worth every bit of my asking price and would like to offer full disclosure on an instrument like this.

Thanks for contributing to the thread.

Purdy and Plays Well!!!

I've played this bass and it is worth every penny. If it wasn't for my two kids I'd be the owner right now.

My take on it...we all know how it plays and how it sounds...it's a bada** Sadowsky.

Other than that...my impressions....I swore it was new the I first ten times I played it all the way to the last time I played it two weeks ago. Pristine condition, 9.9/10. No joke. Dude is meticulous in the care of his gear. I'd stand by that with no hesitation.

These don't come up, in this condition, very often.

All PM's responded to, and thanks to every one for the compliments on the bass. She'll make someone VERY happy.

To answer a few reoccurring questions:

-The nut width is 1 7/8".
-Still no trades please (tho I'd consider pre-'75 unmodified vintage Fender Basses).
-FWA stands for Fort Wayne, Indiana and worst case shipping most everywhere ContUS is hovering around $125 (UPS ground, insured).
-The bass is in fantastic shape and the only "ding" is on the tip of the headstock. Please refer to the pictures on photobucket. Other than that, some slight swirling on the control cavity cover and a little fret wear, she's pristine.
-I'm typically able to ship next business day.
