Sadowsky Metro vs Mayones Jabba Classic

Hello friends.
I'm considering buying one of these two basses.
Sadowsky Metro (used) Mayones Jabba Classic (new) Unfortunately I can not play them in the store. It makes me a difficult choice.
I like classic sounds and the grown of 7ender. I've had several fenders, some vintage 66, 74, 78 ... but in the end I got bored with them and did not think they were so playable.

What is your advice?

a greeting
 
I tried both, you can't really go wrong with both ; but myself , I went with Sadowsky because 1 - I prefered the sound
2 - because I know that Sadowsky built his basses based on his experience as a tech in NYC with the best studio guys, so to me that added that little extra
But it all comes down to what you are looking for in an instrument
 
I would try a Mayones if you can. They have a reputation of being on the heavy side. If weight is not a factor for you I would still go with the Sadowsky. In the case that it's not your cup of tea you can flip it quickly for the same amount you paid and try again. The Moyones take longer to move.
