Sadowsky NYC Vintage 5 Custom / Transparent Blue Quilt P/J 5-21 2021 [Used]

Description

Sadowsky NYC is an instrument brand that is beloved by many legendary musicians around the world, and it is also trusted by many session players as it can offer a lot of tones and versatility, like this P/J 5-21 Vintage 5 that we are presenting here at Bella Romeo. It features a solid light weight ash body construction with a custom order rocket red finish, which the ash brings a balanced tonal character and providing a more comfortable playing experience with the weight being lighter than usual. The rocket red finish is sure to make you the highlight in the stage with its eye-catching colour.  The bass hass a 21-fret maple fretboard and quartersawn maple neck, which the maple brings extra brightness and pop to the bass. For electronics, it comes with a Sadowsky PJ pickup set, and the Sadowsky Preamp with Vintage Tone Control. The combination of these electronics allows the bass to have unrivalled versatility and power, enabling the bass to handle anything situations.  True to Sadowsky reputation, this bass is very lightweight, at 3.85 kg.

It is worthwhile to mention that Sadowsky basses have a tone knob that works in both active and passive mode.  We are not sure why this wiring is not adopted with more basses (Alleva Coppolo, Fodera, Roscoe, Le Fay, F Bass, Freedom C.G.R. basses have this same feature, to our knowledge, and perhaps there are more out there), as it adds versatility to the tone by many miles.  Many other basses have passive mode without a tone control; and for those that does have a tone control knob, it doesn’t work in active mode.  We understand that treble-cut can be regarded as tone roll off, but really, it’s not the same.

This bass is used and is in Excellent condition.  The body and neck only had light cleaning marks, and signs of use from smudged hardwares.  The headstock has a few light scratches on the front.  Back side the electronic compartment plate still has its plastic seal intact; the plastic seal seeing some wears.  The truss rod functions and has room in both tightening and loosening directions.  Frets 90% tall.  

The bass comes with Sadowsky original gig bag.
