Sadowsky Metro MV5-PJ 5 String Bass Guitar 2015 Black

For sale is my 2015 Sadowsky Metro Bass, MV5-PJ in Black Pearl. I am the 2nd owner.

It was ordered in April 2015 and received by the original owner in September 2015 directly from Dan at Sadowsky Guitars in NY. I purchased it in October 2016. It has a P-pickup in the neck position and a Jazz pickup in the bridge position.

My bass has been used only by me in my home and a few times at church. It sounds amazing, as you would expect. Cuts through extremely well. I don’t need to tell you how great Sadowsky basses are, but I’ll just say that this Metro is every bit a Fender bass on steroids. It has less than 20 hours total playing time.

It has no dings, bumps or bruises. No static in the controls. It literally looks, sounds and plays like the day I received it; no exaggerations. It still has the original protective plastic on the bass as-built. You can see that in the photos in several locations if you look really hard.

My bass comes from a clean smoke-free house. It has never been gigged. I’ve done no modifications to the bass except adding black Dunlop strap lock buttons. Specifications and notes are below.

The following specifications are copied directly from Sadowsky’s website.
