This is kind of a feeler for this bass. It's a 2011 Sadowsky Metro MV4 - easily the nicest bass I've ever had my hands on, but I'm not sure if it's for me. If I had to tell this bass why I'm letting it go, I'd say "listen bass, it's not you, it's me...". I think I'm more suited for simple, plain ol' Jazz basses. Or maybe I just haven't given it enough time yet - so that's why this is just a feeler rather than a definite need to get this out the door.
Trade offers are welcome. I'd be really interested in a 70s Jazz, or maybe an AVRI, or even a MIJ '62 reissue or similar. Rickenbackers are nice, too. But, I'm open to other stuff as well. Plus or minus cash is fine, depending.
Anyway, here's the relevant stuff about the bass - the photos really tell you more.

Sleek undersized J body shape
Solid swamp ash body
Thicker headstock and graphite strips dramatically reduce dead spots and create a more even response on every note

21 18% nickel/silver frets .094″ wide x .051″ high, maximum hardness
Custom Gotoh/Sadowsky tuning gears on 4 string

Classic Sadowsky Treble and Bass boost pre-amp with true bypass switch
Controls: master vol, pickup blend, treble roll-off (VTC) with pre-amp bypass, bass boost, treble boost
Sadowsky bridge with quick release
20mm 4 string bridge spacing
