I am beyond sad to let this go. But, I just don't play it enough, and to be honest it's too good for me. Some of you may remember it, it's been on sale twice before, last time was... wow, 2006. I bought it from gruuv, and he got it from mikebass.
Sadowsky RV5 Olympic White
It's a beautiful bass, plays fantastic, and it's been literally collecting dust for the last two or three years. (To give you an idea, I haven't had a supporting membership here for years.) I just don't have time to play it anymore and it seems a waste to just keep it in my house for no other reason than it's nice to look at. It actually had dust on it when I took these pictures. So, that's a sign, right?
A bit of history: Roger himself re-trued and re-fretted this in NY, after mikebass wasn't perfectly happy with the fretboard. Funny story--I was working for Microsoft in 2007 and I took this in to Mike Lull to get it set up, and he said "this fretwork is great, I haven't seen it this good on a metro." So I told him why. Action can go very low, obviously.
I have gigged with it once, and it's stayed inside other than that.
Detailed condition: It has a four very minor dings on the bottom and top edge. They just press into the coating, not into the wood. I never see them unless I go out looking for them. There's a group of three or four thin scratches on the bottom near where you rest your right forearm while playing. I'm guessing someone with a watch might have scratched it while moving their right arm. The neck pickup seems to have a nick or two on its casing, but it obviously doesn't affect the tone. There is a little rough patch on the top of the headstock where I rubbed it against the ceiling as I was taking it off after practicing. Other than those marks, the bass is in mint condition. I would rate it a 9/10, it looks almost showroom clean and beautiful.
Here are some pics, I have a few other more detailed ones if anyone would like.
I live in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, so unless there's someone in Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg (or Montana or ND?) willing to meet me halfway, I'll have to ship it.
Has the VTC option.
*** Price drop: *** I will ship ConUS or Canada, for $1875.
Thanks. I'm so sad to see her go. She's one of a kind.
*** Update *** Just read on Gruuv's old thread: this appears to have strap locks installed. I never got around to using them.
*** New pics: ***
