Bass weighs 8lbs 14oz with Hipshot Aluminum Bridge. OEM Bridge will be re-installed at buyer option. Will increase weight to 9lbs 2oz. Beautiful shape, fantastic clean punch.

IMG_9293.jpeg


Mint JAPAN RV4-24 fret J/J. 8lbs 13oz ( see pic) Very fast player. Reinforced neck is very rigid. Sports a Low action. New Strings. The fingerboards on these Japan units are rolled and thinner than the SMX units. Fretwork is impeccable, vintage style tuners are ironically only 1 oz more than the Sadowsky ultralites, so they have remained. A rare item, and absolutely a beautiful piece. Comes with Sadowsky Hard/Soft rectangular case.

(3) Sadowsky MetroExpress Verdine White w VTC and Hipshot D-tuner ($799)SOLD
DFB3BA32-3441-455B-82EE-8C4AE8F7418F.jpeg

This has been my #1 for the past 4 years. 2020 model, and a remarkable piece of wood. Sometimes you just luck out and get a really great piece of wood that sounds good all the time. This bass has been that. Has hundreds of gigs on it. Wearing the finish off the upper bout. Mojo at no additional charge.

(4) Sadowsky Metro Express Custom P/J 5…….$995SOLD!!!!
IMG_0802.jpeg

Currently 8lbs 12oz. (Add 3 oz with SMX bridge option.) Comes with Sadowsky bag NOTE: bartolini pickups removed. OEM re-installed. See below pix. PRICE DROP: $929.00

No trades. All basses have Dunlop Straplock combo buttons. Additional pics available on request.

Peace.

Thats a discounted price on that RV4-24 vs the Reverb price as they're killin’ me in fees. Would much prefer to sell here.

What’s the nut width and string spacing on the PJ 5? Thanks

Nut width 44mm/1.75”……string spacing @ nut=9mm as per my highly technical plastic harbor freight calipers. I guess this is thinner than the 47.5mm nut on the current models. Learn somethin new every day.

Thanks for your inquiry.

Here is the bass as it is today with the OEM pups back in. It just sounds much better with these vs the Barts. Much more bottom, much more punch. I was shocked how thin the Bart P pickup was vs the stock unit.

Lotsa love and care went into this build. Somebody will be very happy. Comes with bag, and all the case candy.

A close, lifelong friend on mine who doesn't slum around with us on TB just texted me..."I JUST BOUGHT AN MINT JAPANESE METROLINE 24!!!"

Sends me some pics, and I realize that I've seen that gorgeous red beast right here in the classifieds!
It's going to a good home, and I can't wait to play it next time I'm in NY!

He said you were far kinder and more accommodating than he had any right to expect, so there's some unofficial feedback for anyone looking at the PJ 5.

The cavities for the electrics and pickups are lined and grounded together. It’s very convenient to be able to run the grounds to a common foil spot. I was goin thru some of the other build pics and wanted to show em’…
