For sale Upgraded Sadowsky MetroExpress 5 String P/J

This bass is in great shape, and really punches way above its weight class after the upgrades. I’ve owned it for a couple of years and played it extensively within that time, but I take really good care of my gear. The included Sadowsky gig bag is basically unused, because I use a Mono bag (not included). I’m only selling to help fund a Dingwall that I just bought.

Sale is definitely preferable, but I might potentially entertain trading for a rig (amps/cabs/combos). Willing to meet within a reasonable distance of Orange, TX. Buyer to pay shipping, just shoot me a message and we’ll get it sorted out.

Price is firm. PayPal G&S or Venmo. I’ll include the original pickups and hardware too.

This is a 1st gen Metro Express with the following upgrades:

-Headstock logo changed to the normal Sadowsky logo like the 2nd gen Metro Express basses
-Pickups upgraded to the US Sadowsky P/J set
-Sadowsky VTC preamp/control plate
-Tuners upgraded to Hipshot Ultralights
-The awful 1st gen string retainer was upgraded to a Hipshot like the 2nd gen Metro Express basses
