Thank you for taking the time to view this listing.
This bass has been used as the primary instrument for live performances, concerts, and recordings.
It has been tested and functions properly. While there are some minor scratches, I don't believe there are any damages that would affect playing, subjectively speaking.
I've tried various Sadowsky models including NYC, TYO, and Metroline, but this one, along with a maple ash 5-string and a 4-string Tokyo-made bass, were the ones I kept until the end.
Since the 4-string saw very little use, I'm putting it up for sale.
This bass would be ideal for those seeking high-quality instruments from brands like Sadowsky Metro, TYO, Kikuchi Guitars, Atelier, or other JB models.
The hard case shown is only for photo purpose, however another gig case is coming with.
Since production has ceased and they're not readily available on the market, consider the Tokyo-made Sadowsky, which is expected to become increasingly scarce and potentially more expensive in the future.
Thank you for your understanding.
