Sadowsky NYC PJ5 Ash/Maple with Anodized Gold Guard Flamed Maple Fretboard

[ElMon]

Never thought I'd do this, but a 59' Pbass has crossed my path and I just can't resist. That and my Modulus Oteil 6 with a Sadowsky Pre MORE than covers my live needs these days.

Bought this bass from the Sadowsky Shop in February of this year. It was virtually brand new, with plastic still in place, and aside from the plastic, it is in the exact same shape as when I got it. Babied in every single way. I'm of course not looking for any trades on this one, and would prefer to stay in the Contl US as well.

Interested. Would it be problem for you to ship to Europe (Croatia)?

[Kevinlane]

Gawd, I LOVE that fingerboard!!
But I have a P\J 5 already, so a bump for a great dude\great seller.

I know there are only so many good vintage basses, but from everything I've ever heard you say, this Sadowsky is your baby. Think twice before you let it go!

That would definitely be a last-choice option over any US deal, but I"ll keep you at the top of the list if I do.

I appreciate your concern. Sometimes I NEED some GAS-counselling. I wasn't anticipating ever selling this bass, but that was before I got ahold of my Modulus Oteil 6 and dumped a Sad pre into it, something I had dreamed of doing with my old Q5 but never got to it.

For a live bass, the Oteil with Sad pre has EVERY BIT as much mojo as does the PJ5. It sits in the mix perfectly, has that tube-like lowend that IME only the Sad pre can bring, PLUS it has all the note clarity and snap that only graphite can bring IME. A perfect marriage.

My rationale had been that I would keep my Sad as a versatile studio bass/backup to the Modulus. Well, I started to ask myself

'if I"m keeping the Sad as a studio-ready variant of the pbass, why not get the real thing, and complete another item on the 'dream bass' check list?'

Plus, since the Modulus truly has, for my tastes, outgunned the PJ5 as a live bass, isn't it somewhat criminal that such an amazing Sadowsky (and it IS an amazing, playable instrument) should sit unplayed?

Anyways, that's my .02 cents!

[ElMon]

I should add that the 59' P I was after is GONE. Too slow on my part. Now the consideration is A) do I spring for a pre-CBS Fender or B) do I save some money and get a Custom Shop 59 Pbass, which specs wise will have everything I need?

[brunjic]

So, PJ is still available for sale?

[ElMon]

Definitely, just holding out for a US buyer. Like I mentioned before you're first in line if I decide to sell it overseas. Thanks for the interest!

[ElMon]

PM's returned.

[DaveAceofBass]

DREAM BASS! I would SO love to get this!

[slabhappy]

Hey,
Might be willing to go $3K if your situation warrants.
Let me know how it goes.
Thanks,

Me and you both Dave... unfortunatly the wife gave me a Sadowsky limit of one and I'm already over it.

[ElMon]

price is FIRM. Guarantee you'd pay at least that at the Sadowsky shop. I paid $3700 in February of this year.

[J Hud]

Do you still have the chrome knob set it came with? If so, is it going to be included?

[ElMon]

Forgot to mention that. I don't have the chrome knobs. They left with my old Metro PJ5.

[OrionManMatt]

You should play my Precision and decide. Seriously. It's goood. Sorry to hear you missed out on the '59, bro.

Bump for a great guy.

[ElMon]

Thanks!!!! My one essential spec for a 4string precision is the 1.75 nut. I just feel completely at home on that neck after playing a fullerton-era reissue as my first bass in 8th grade. The anodized guard and 2 tone burst of the 59' are really just the icing.

[ElMon]

Should mention that this bass comes with a Sadowsky HSC.

[ElMon]

In case someone had an Alleva Coppolo KPB5 to trade, I'd be willing to work something out. That, or a Pre-CBS Pbass.
