SOLD Sadowsky NYC 5 String JJ Quilt Maple / Ash ***Excellent***

Here is a hardly played Sadowsky NYC. I have a new build for a 33" scale bass in the works and need to fund it.

$3325 Shipped CONUS

Awesome bass, light, plays great, incredible tone, tons of punch and cut through the mix. As a big believer of economy of motion it is setup with a sadowsky 18mm bridge. I found the original Sadowsky humbuckers to have a little bit weak scooped tone with a quiet D string. I then had the boutique single coil pickups that are in it custom wound by Aero (they cost me $300). These fattened and tightened up the low end and the highs more articulate. The bass sounds better and is more versatile. If you want the original Sadowsky humbuckers installed instead of the Aeros, Id be happy to do that for you, but I will have to order them in so it adds $160 to the sale price. Comes in original like new hardshell case.

This Sadowsky was used on tracks 4 (Timed Capsule) and 8 (Nanny Goat Hill) of my album:

A couple of notes on condition. This is not a brand new bass, but its about as damn close as you are going to get for the price. Due to my perfectionist nature, Ive gone over the bass with a fine tooth comb and there are three things that I want to point out:
There is a small ding (not through the fininsh about 1/16" across) indicated in the pic below:

There is small scratch about 3/16" x 1/32". It is a very light scratch that can probably be buffed out. It is to the lower right of the control cavity.

There is some surface haze from slapping. Its really hard to see and photo graph, the light has to be perfect.
Those are the only things about the bass that I believe makes it any lesser than new since the frets have hardly any wear ( I play really light and the bass was hardly played).
With the boutique aero pickups this bass is a more solid instrument with a stronger more versatile tone.

 

Thanks Ewo!

 

Thank you! It is a beauty I agree. Super comfy too.

 

Thanks Gasaholic, unfortunately I'm committed to a custom that I need to fund, but thanks for the offer.
Best,
Damian

 

Bump, lots of interest, a couple thinking about it and a few trade offers...
