UPDATE: If no TBers buy this by midnight EDT on 6/7, it's going to evil bay. Last Chance!
This is killing me to sell my long-time #1 bass, but the tax man has cut deep this year.
So, on the block is my 2004 Sadowsky Metro RV5 in Oly White with rosewood (I believe) fretboard. I bought this in Feb. of 2008 from TBer ric426. Overall this bass is in excellent shape, with some minor blemishes detailed below. This bass comes with a set of Nordstrand NJ5 Single Coils installed and has the stock Sadowsky preamp (killer) WITH VTC. A tort pickguard is installed, but I will also include a white one. Also included is the Sadowsky ultralight case and Dunlop Straplocks. The original strap pins will be included, if I can track them down. It is currently strung with SIT Silencers light gauge semi-flats (which I love, BTW).
NO TRADES, please.
As I said, this bass had been played regularly, but never abused. I am very particular about my gear and try to take good care of it. When taking the photos, I was actually surprised to find a couple of the blemishes, since I rarely notice them in normal use. But in the interest of full disclosure, I'm pointing out anything I can see.
They are:
(photo #3) - some light indentations in the end of the headstock from a clip-on tuner which lost one of it's rubber pads, and I didn't realize it for a month or so. They are only visible up close at certain angles. Photo #4 shows straight on view where these are not noticeable at all.
(photo #7) - small abrasions on tuners from string winding tool - again, only visible at certain angles. (like the clip-on tuner incident, I'm a little pissed about the damage done by these plastic accessories!)
(photo #10) - there is a slight discoloration on the top edge of the neck around the 4th fret. Not sure what this is from, but it doesn't affect playability at all.
(photo #11 in next post) - on the top edge of body (where your arm rests) there are 3 blemished - (from top to bottom in the photo: a small nick, a tiny hairline crack in finish, a slightly larger indentation, no more than .25 inches in length)
(photo #12 in next post) - on the bottom edge of body (when in playing position) there are 3 tiny indentations - hardly visible unless the light is just right and you're really looking for them.
(photo #13 in next post) - there is a slight indentation on the back edge of the body, just above the strap pin (circled in photo). This is not through the finish. (the other blemish seen in this photo is the last one listed in photo #11 above - not an additional blemish.)
Scale is 34"
String Spacing 19mm at bridge
Weight is 9.3 lbs. on my postal scale
Asking $1750 shipped, insured to CONUS. NO TRADES, please. Willing to drive within a 100-mile radius of Toledo, OH to meet and would adjust price accordingly.
Thanks for looking.
