Selling my Sadowsky Metro MV5 (edited from RV5). No trades please. The only reason I'm selling this one is becasue I was able to find my old Sadowsky that I had sold many years ago and rebuy it back. Now this one needs to go to pay for that one.
Price Drop $2,100 shipped in Continental US.
This is a player's bass. It plays and sounds absolutely awesome. Has tons of mojo. Lot of play wear on the neck, but the neck is so comfortable. I tried to show this in the picture. Action is low and neck is straight. Stock Sadowsky configuration. Sadowsky Hum cancelling PUs, Sadowsky Pre, has VTC. SN on this dates it to 2006 (from 3rd year run of the Metroline). There is a slight "dirty" spot on the bass control for the pre-amp. So it makes a bit of a crackle when adjusted but works completely fine other than that (just trying for full disclosure here). Bass overall has some slight cosmetic blemishes, but to be expected considering how much I have gigged this bass . Had lots of play wear when I purchased from from the previous owner (fellow TBer), who obviously gigged it plenty too.
59 Burst with Mint pickguard
Maple neck and fingerboard
Ash body.
Weight 9.55 lbs
Quick video to give you an idea of sound. Preamp set flat, direct into a Roland GO:MIXER
