Hey Guys,

I have a Sadowsky RV-5 for sale. A little research on the serial number reveals that the bass was made in 2007. I bought the bass used about two months ago locally at the Atlanta Bass Gallery because I was in a bind and really needed a great back up bass for some important work. It was a no-brainer for me because I really love Sadowsky basses.

This is an awesome bass and it very comfortably handled everything that I needed to get done. My main bass is back home and we have an incredible bond, lol, so I’m hoping to find this one a new home other than sitting in the closet.

The bass has Vintage Tone Control and weighs about 9.5lbs. It has definitely been played, but it is in great shape for a 7 year old bass. There are nicks and scratches here and there, but nothing that hampers playability.

It is currently string with Sadowsky black label stainless steel strings, and was recently setup by the guys at Southeast Guitar Repair in Lawrenceville, Ga.

Included is the Sadowsky Ultralight case, and I’m asking $1899 - shipped to the contiguous United States.

Here is a small clip of how the bass sounds: http://youtu.be/X47C-6SPMOU

Hopefully the opportunity to get back to Poland will present itself again soon! That is one of my favorite places!

How are the condition of the frets?

Visually checking them out, they look just like normal wear. Nothing too bad. I don't play with the action super low, so I couldn't accurately say if there is any fret buzz with the strings down really low. Being that I bought it used, there's no way to tell the last time the bass had a fret dress.

I've only had the bass for a couple of months and I only used it on maybe 3 gigs, and a couple of sessions.

I have the exact same model (bought in 2009) and I love it.

Nice grooving in the demo there Mr. Detoxxx!

Just listened to your soundclip: nice touch mate. Is the solo line over the end the RV5 as well?


That represents just a very small portion of the tonal palette available with that bass, fwiw!

Thanks man! And yes, the solo line was also the RV5!!

This is such an incredible sounding bass. I would definitely keep it if I could justify it!
