~~~Price reduced to $1800 shipped~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


This is a great bass, but I currently have way too many basses and would like to put some money away for my son. Overall, the bass is in great condition with the main exception being the pickguard. There is a fair amount of scratching on the guard. Other than that, there are a few microscopic flaws, but they aren't noticable to the naked eye. There is some swirling going on in the finish, but this is in better shape than any bass that has been sitting on the floor of a big box music store.

Morado board
Ash body. Nice grain
Sunburst finish
Tort guard
Sadowsky pickups and pre
Blocks and binding
No VTC. The bass doesn't really need it, IMO.

I have a UV70 just like this one and I assure everyone that it kills. I sit with it for hours and marvel at what it can do. It can get just about any sound you want (from an old school p tone when strung w/flats, to a razor sharp modern edge with rounds) and it's just so sexy to look at. Every time I play a show, people come up and want to get a closer look. They also say that the sound was deeply-felt and punchy.

Bump for you man..

Alder is typically fairly plain but this one has really nice grain. Much better than I've seen in a long time.

Hmm. Do you think it's alder? I was thinking that it was ash due to the grain, but I could be wrong. I will have to look into this so I'm not mis-representing the bass.

I do believe you're right... Ash. All the info I've come across points to Ash... plus the back of the bass is a give-away. Sometimes Alder has a nice grain, but its grain seems to be somewhere between Maple and Ash in looks.

BUMP for a bass I wish I could afford. :D

My bad!:hiding:

I thought that you could only get the alder body with the rosewood board. It appears that on the UV70 you can have it either way. That's nice piece of ash:D

It could be alder as I have seen alder with very nice grain pattern close to ash.

The only way to know for sure would be to contact Sadowsky and ask them based on the serial number because they can go back and look it up.

Plus ash can sometimes sound quite a bit more bright where as alder has a midrange and low mid emphasis.
