=== SOLD ===
Sadowsky NYC Vintage 5
June 2000
Nicely grained Ash/Maple board
'59 burst
Sadowsky single coils / VTC
Chrome hardware/ultralight pegs
Pearloid white pickguard
9.2 lbs
Original hard Sad. case
Excellent condition with the following two exceptions...
- a few small dings on the sides of the body
- a 2 inch roundish spot at the very top the headstock has had it's finish dulled by (I'm assuming) some wrong cleaning stuff. It is barely noticeable from 2 ft but the tint difference is there if you look very closely or turn the headstock.
This is a stellar Sadowsky, nicely broken in. Phenomenal tone with the singles and action as low as you would like it.
I'm liquidating a bunch of my collection to fund a SSL console that I've found (and is going to break my bank!), so let's go 
$2650
Pics below

OK, I pulled this out of the closet and did a very close inspection, weighed it, shot some photos.
I've revised my initial post to reflect accuracy. I have 3 Sadowsky's so please excuse my haste in the original post I was
on my way out.
OK, pics 2 at a time...

Bump for another nice NYC!!
This bass has the old-style truss access. My two NYC Sadowskys were 2002-2003 and they were 34XX. I would guess this one to be sometime around 2000 or 2001.
If you remove the cover plate, there should be a signature of the assembler on it that is dated. |

This is a solid piece of ash (pre-chambered), nicely broken in, very focused instrument. A great NYC for the cost of a new Metro.
*** I will now include shipping to Can. or US.
Hit me up, I do not have much time left to secure the console.

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2010 Location: Langhorne, PA, USA | | | Oh my goodness ... that bass is the absolute 5-string twin to my 4-string NYC Sadowsky, which was also built in May-June, 2000! They are identical in finish, neck, fingerboard, pickguard ... everything! I tuly wish that I could afford that bass!!! I'd love to have a 5-string version of my NYC 4-string Jazz. |

Some one is going to love this bass |

If it wasn't for the fact that...
a) I really don't play 5's
b) I have two other Sads (both older ones I might add)
c) I need to collect some serious amounts of funds
... she would be staying here. I've had ash/maple Metro's here that did not compare - be it the singles or I don't know what, this one growls without being overly bright and has a very nice warm body tone to it. More aggressive than my alder/rose basses but not "artificially" or too forward. Maybe it's the age, I dunno.
