Sadowsky Fretless For Sale

Well I just couldn't do it! Decided to keep it....
The plan was, since it did not get allot of use to sell it off and since I would not want to be without a fretless, pickup a cheaper one like a Fender and keep that for when I need it. But after owning and playing the Ferrari of fretless basses, it will be damn hard to pick up anything less and think, "Why did I sell that bass!"

So I'll just keep it for a rainy day.....

That bass is spectacular and one of my favorite Sadowskys ever. If you have any use for fretless you should keep it. A lesser bass will just piss you off :D

I have that problem with my Rob Allen. When I play another fretless, I kinda go, "meh" no matter how nice they are. Easy to get spoiled...

Hi guys, well it's been a long time coming (15 years in fact) but I received my first Sadowsky yesterday! Black RV5-PJ

It is simply wow! The clarity of the fundamental note combined with the cutting treble potential is amazing. The passive tone alone is simply excellent.

After having owned several maple and rosewood fret boarded basses, the Morado board is a new favourite. Very balanced and punchy tone and the PJ pickup config suits it perfectly.

I'm quickly getting used to the 'flatter than normal' fretboard radius and the 19mm string spacing. The bass came with a super nice setup and and very low action that is unlike any of my other basses. Going back and picking up my usual player felt like picking up a boat anchor...

There's no going back now! Can I have a number please? :)

I know how you feel! I just got my MV 4 last week and haven't put it down yet! Congrats!
I now need to get a 5 string as well! I'm completely sold but a little pissed at myself for not getting one sooner! There's been a lot of basses before this one. Playing this one makes me feel like I'm finally at home!
