For sale FS: Sadowsky NYC Reverse P/J5

I forgot to mention that the bass does have a VTC
Weight is around 8.5lb ( I will try to get an exact measurement later, but it's LIGHT.

Why would you black out the last two digits of the serial number?

Roger

When was it made/year? Post some more specs too.

are you sure that's rosewood and not morado? Looks like Morado to me...but I'm no expert, and it could just be the picture.

It's visible in a later pic in the Photobucket link, though. #3823 (though I'm sure Roger already knew that).

Bump. My main axe is a morado/alder NYC P/J, with 24-fret board. It's the best!

Blacking out the Serial # I guess I did it because I have seen some other adds fuzz out their serials in some sort of scam prevention. Yeah, you can look at all the pics in my Photobucket album and see the serial #.

When I bought this Back in 2008 from AJ Brown, I wrote Dragonbass (I think) at Sadowsky and he said it was built in 2002 and should have the graphite in the neck.
He also said it should have the universal route, but I never checked.

As far as rosewood vs morado, I thought they were the same, but just morado was South American and rosewood, like most think of, is from India. So thanks for pointing that out to me, but I just thought of it as one of the 2 main "types" of Sadowskys.

Roger or someone that knows, any comment on the fingerboard woods?

The fingerboard is Morado.

As far as weight, it is lighter than the one I recently got from sok monkee. It was listed at 8.6lbs, and providing that was accurate, this one is definitely lighter.

I can't tell from the photos, is it a trans finish or is it a solid color?

Thanks.

I must say I do love this color...If I didn't already have an alder/morado Metro I'd be in trouble.

It's transparent, but with Alder there isn't much grain to show through.
And yes pOk, the color is what drew me in on this one.

The color is tempting me beyond belief!

So does it have a universal route after all?

Yes it does. I checked.

Morado or Pau Fero is brighter(Snapper) sounding than a rosewood board.I think it really works well for me on a Alder body bass.Not as snappy at Maple or Ebony board and not as Dark as Rosewoods.

How many frets is this?

It has 21 frets Funk Generator

Thanks Kevin! I'm looking for a 24 fretter atm.
