edit for a price drop:
Got this fairly recently on a trade. Amazing playing/sounding bass. I really really like this bass, but some other non-bass reletaed things have come up that I'd like to purchase. So, last in first out unfortunately.
If you're looking for the sadowsky modern tone, this has it....BECAUSE it uses all Sadowsky electronics. The specs from Nino's site on this one are below as well as a link to pics from Nino. I haven't had time to snap any pics of it myself. It's in great condition. No fret wear and no major bumps dings or scratches. There is on slight bump on the top horn, but nothing that will show up in a pic. Has dunlop strap locks and will come in a really thick padded gig bag. I would like to get
$14501350 shipped for it. As for trades, I'm open to ideas as long as it nets me some cash with it, unless it's a 2010 (or later) Fender Deluxe J5.
Edit: shipping in the lower 48 only. Sorry ya'll, I can't do international shipping. Happy to ship to US contact if you got one that will ship it the rest of the way for you. However, once it arrives safely at it's destination within the states, I take no further responsibility for it and conisider the bass delivered.
Ideally trades would be (+ cash as needed):
Fender Deluxe J5 (will consider older 5+1 models if they're in great condition)
Music Man Stingray 5 (H (preferred) or HS only...2006 or newer. I like the alnico over the older ceramic.)
Fender J5 or P5 (2008 or newer)
Fender 57RI or 62RI P
Fender 62RI J
MIM Fender Deluxe J5 (in great condition)
Lakland JO5, P5, 55-02, 55-01
Warwick Thumb BO6 or BO5 or Dirty Blonde 5
please no Ibanez, peavey, or Warwick corvettes. All are great basses, just not my thing.
