Selling my 2010 Sadowsky NYC J5 with PJ (reverseP) pickups.
Has the Sadowsky option for reversible middle pickup.
Very lightweight. Incredible sounding bass.
Comes with the sadowsky hardshell case, pick guard for vintage correct middle pup, and the original nordstrand pups.

Incredible sounding Sad 5 string. Action is very low and clean.
It's coming from Vegas so even though I keep my instruments in a humidified closet, be prepared to adjust the neck after it adjusts to your climate.

Pretty clean overall but check the pics.
They are terrible iPhone pics with overhead lighting so I included a few angles to make clear that its lighting issues.
Note the doink by the output jack.
There is also a light impression on the back of the neck - 9th fret area on the low b side. I never noticed it until inspecting it tonight. It doesn't show in photo's but I included a shot of it anyway.

Yup. Thats it. I was pretty sure I bought off you Bob.
The pic you posted is with the middle pickup in standard position. When I bought it from you the middle pup was reversed, and I kept it that way. It really does what Roger says - i.e. better slap sound with both pickups on and the low E and A and more punch too.

I'll get current pics up soon but its in the same condition. Home studio use only.
Incredible bass. One of the best Sad's I have ever played. Sometimes plain tops WIN.

Also, do you include the "normal position" PJ pickguard?

That leads me to another Q.....what is the tonal difference between the Seymour Duncun pickups and the Nordstrands? I prefer a more "traditional" tone.

Got busy. Apologies. Getting to the PM's now.

Both pick guards included (gotta find the other one!).

The pups sound totally classic.
the P is a P, J is a J sound.
Together its a nice slap sound, a bit warmer maybe.
