Selling one of the prettiest, most musical sounding and most playable basses I've ever had. However, I am making the effort to go fully multi-scale, so this bass needs to find a new home. New models selling for approx 7k these days, this 7 lb 15 oz beauty is in superb condition, as is the original Sadowsky travel case. This is the Ltd Edition Warwick Masterbuilt series, #18 of 30 examples released in 2020. It is a stunning iteration of the Sadowsky concept. Here is some info for you to peruse.
From the Warwick website:
"Sadowsky MasterBuilt instruments are, according to Roger himself, “as close as it gets” to the high-end instruments he builds in his workshop in New York City. That is because he was personally involved in the whole development process of all the designs, from the selection of tonewood combinations to the finishes and premium features. Roger deliberately chose to have his basses manufactured in series under license in our climate-neutral production in Germany – thus making it possible for more musicians than ever before to play a genuine Sadowsky. With classic looks but all the modern improvements that have gained his instruments such a good reputation in more than forty years: Chambered bodies with modified shaping for less weight and more comfortable playing. Higher-end hardware, hum-cancelling pickups, and last but not least the legendary Sadowsky preamp with “boost only” EQ for maximally versatile, always tight tone."
Here are the specs:

Ships with Sadowsky Gig Bag and Case Candy
Condition is literally like new!
I will consider high end trades or trades plus cash, preferably from Canada to simplify matters but I will ship to Canada or continental US. Payment either by etransfer within Canada or PayPal from Canada or the US.
Possible trade would be for a nice MTD 535, Fodera 5 or Alleva Coppolo 5 just to try-again, I am headed for Dingwall heaven.
Have a great day!
