Sadowsky NYC Vintage 5

jkudding · #1 06-01-2010, 06:24 PM

For sale is my beloved Sadowsky NYC Vintage 5 string bass.

The instrument is a Swamp Ash body w/ Maple fretboard, transparent white with Tort pickguard, and VTC.

I'll post pictures within a couple of hours, but I figured I'd at least get the thread started. I may even have some sound clips that I could pull up and post.

For sale only - $2650 + half shipping (I'm located in Canada)

Thanks for looking.

this won't last long, great price.

Thanks everyone for the PM's. There are a couple of things that I should clarify in response to a few offers.

1) Yes, I live in Canada, but the price is in USD!

2) Unfortunately, this transaction must be an outright sale only. I've had some great trade offers, but I cannot entertain any of them.

3) Some extra bass details: String spacing is 19mm, and it comes with OHSC.

Thanks!

This is a steal! If I didn't just order a Will Lee I would be all over this!

If this thing was burst finish I would have been all over it. Plus I just bought a Metro and have a NYC Vintage Jazz 5 ordered. But this is a Great Deal.

Could you let me know the s/n so that I could look it up on the sold section of Roger's website? I own a couple of Sadowsky NYC 4 strings and would like to sell one and purchase a 5 string - so I am interested.

In terms of shipment, I have an office in Calgary and they can ship to my Toronto office (at no cost). Thanks.

Sorry if I missed it, but which pickups are in this bass?

Vic · #12 06-03-2010, 10:31 AM

Let's see if this works... at least for a while... from the flickr site...

This is the exact bass I was looking for in a Metro MV-5..
I'm trying to refrain from any big purchases this year though which kind of sucks...

jkudding · #14 06-03-2010, 11:38 AM

Wow Vic... Thanks so much for doing that!

To answer your question, the bass has single coils.

I am so Shocked that this thing is still here.

I looked for months and months for a used NYC Vintage Jazz 5er that was Ash/Maple. I finally gave up and Started a NYC build and bought a Metro. This is a super deal these Basses dont come around very often.

BUMP FOR AN AWESOME BASS
