For Sale Feeler: Rosado P-bass (The Sadowsky Killer)

Sign in to disble this ad
This is the bass that I swore I'd never sell, it records immaculately, looks classy as hell on stage and is easy on the back. Having owned enumerate, Rickenbacker, Warwick, EBMM and Ken Smith basses this is the one that I always grab for - even over the studio's Sadowsky! Put together by one of the master luthiers at Mandolin on Staten Island. Recently, I sold another bass in an attempt to keep this one because it recorded better - I'm just a fan of that fat P-bass tone. I bought this to be my bass for "rock gigs" and it was perfect, beyond perfect; I've played it in rock, folk, alternative and world beat settings to great success. However I just have to trim down the herd, because of payments, living situations, girlfriend ( ) etc.

The specs are as follows, I can post more pics if necessary:

Alder body
Maple neck, rosewood board
Schaller tuners
Vintage-style bridge
Old-style Quarter Pounder p'up
CTS pots
Orange drop tone capacitator
It weighs somewhere between 7-8lbs
Nut width (LOL) is a c*** hair over 1.5"
This is a jazz-style neck on a precision-style body, super comfy!

I love this bass and am not dying sell it so please don't low ball me (that's what she said) and no trades for Mexican Fenders, lolol, thanks. This bass is a gem and any player that has touched it has said the same. I have sound clips, please PM me your email address and I'll email them to you. The license plate on the back is Mr. Rosado's signature. He puts them on all his "masterpiece" basses as his mark, but also because each bass means something to him, just like each of the plates he's collected over his lifetime. Plus, it stops buckle rash and looks great

Looking for $700 OBO

Best,
John

Really, the Rosato?!

This is the only bass J trusts enough to use at shows...and frankly the one that he uses 90% of the time in the studio AFAIK. After hearing it, I'm sure nobody would hold it against him.

I don't like P bass necks usually, but this one is awesome. I think that the fretwork has a lot to do with it actually. The frets are so well aligned and filed that this bass gets crazy low action without buzz...even for a heavy handed player like me. Mandolin Bros. is a very well known shop and the work they do is tops.

This is a lot of bass for $700...honestly I don't see this one moving. J, come to your senses man.

Cool - I'll check it out. Just some friendly advice: I'd guess you'll sell this a lot easier if the pics could just be viewed in the thread instead of downloaded.

Thanks, man. I've actually tried multiple times to upload them to the thread but it was continually denied. I'm not sure if there's any way around this but if you could help a brother out.. that'd be dope.

Thanks again,
John

Update!:

Have a slammin' trade offer on the table so, as of this second, today will be the last day that you've got to buy it outright. Otherwise, I'll be happy to trade with a super cool dude (you know who you are, man!). Thanks TB.
