Sadowsky NYC Vintage JJ 5 NJ5

[rwider]

SOLD






This is a great bass! I bought this from Smeet a couple months ago and it is a player. It was a bit of a project when I bought it. It has a bruise on the back lower horn that my tech touched up and it had some staining on the back of the neck that was #320 sanded as per Roger Sadowsky with Tru-oil applied ( http://sadowsky.com/forum/index.php?topic=67.0I ) I will also include Sadowsky Humcanceling pups in the deal ($100). Since buying this bass I purchased my dream Sadowsky (Will Lee) with the same specs, so this is a double.

This is the nicest playing Sadowsky I've owned, seriously. I've had prettier, but this one makes me think I should hold on to it until I settle in with the new one. The last owner had these words:
I had the pickups replaced with Nordstrand NJ5 single coils to get a warmer sound. The
neck pickup is a bit overwound to give a more articulate sound. Carey Nordstrand did the
work himself, so it's top quality. While he was in there, I had the balance control
reversed so it now works like all the other (non-Sadowsky) basses in the world. It still
sounds like a Sadowsky, just a little fatter with a little less glass and scoop
