Details

As part of divorce settlement I'm selling off some of my basses. We have here a somewhat unusual older Sadowsky PJ 5 in that the jazz pup is tighter to the bridge like when people originally modded their p basses. Ash body, maple neck. It came with Barts but I changed the P pup to a Delano (which I think sounds better) but will include the original. The color is also a little different. It looks black from afar but is actually a pearlescent black/ brown. Its in really good shape for its age with some honest fingerboard wear and one ding near the input jack that doesn't go through the paint. Also a smaller one on the lower bout. Other than that just the usual swirls on the back but nothing that breaks throughout the color. The bass is on the lighter side and I will weigh it later. At some point the stacked knobs were replaced.
Soundwise this bass is on the grindy snarly side so if you are looking for a mellow bass I would move on. Action is low. Paypal OK
Get an American Sadowsky for about the price of a metro. Im pricing it lower so in case people want to change the pups to Roger's current formula.
I'll split shipping in the CONUSA

The preamp is still Sadowsky btw. The price is lower than usual as I know its slightly non traditional.

Sorry to hear about your situation Chris. :-(

Sweet Deal, and a Great guy to deal with. Does this have the VTC? It looks like it. I have an older NYC Modern that does not, but sounds incredible with out it.

Has the VTC, 9 lbs even. Does not have a Sadowsky case. I have plenty of gig bags but if shipping I would probably go to guitar center and buy a hard case that would fit it. Thanks for the kind words btw!
