The mighty Sadowsky. One of the upper eschelon names in top notch bass guitars.
Ol' Serial # 1693. Those who know, know. :) It's been around. This 5-string wonder, finished in '59 Burst, features a two octave, 24-fret neck. Crafted from ash with a gorgeous quilted maple top, this bass is toneful and full of resonance. The two-piece maple neck has a wide V profile (.808"-.955") with a 12" radius. The neck on this one is to die for!
Inside, it's loaded up with a pair of EMG pickups that tight, punchy, modern sound. Onboard controls are master vol, pickup blend, treble roll-off, stacked pot for bass boost and treble boost, & pre-amp bypass toggle. These are the ingredients you need to get just about any tone you need outta this bass.
The serial # 1693 puts its date of production in the time span of 1992-93. During that time it has seen it share of gigs and sessions. Signs of love and use are all over this bass. And for good reason: the feel and playability (not to mention the damn tone) of this bass are next level. There's next wear, fretboard playwear, a few dings....its been played but it's badass AF. It still feels and plays amazing.
It weighs in at 8.8 lbs and feels nice and balanced; comfy for those longer sets.
The pro luthiers here at EMS have given it a full setup so that it's ready for stage or studio the moment it arrives to you. It ships the next day with the included soft case.
