This is one of the earlier German made Sadowsky MetroLine instruments. These earlier German Metroline basses have a slimmer front to back neck profile compared to the newer ones. It also has a traditional screw-down rear control cavity compartment rather than the quick release cover.
Overall the bass is in fantastic condition with no finish scratches or damage on the body. There is one small ding on the rear of the headstock by the scoop (see last photos). The pickguard is aftermarket and has two holes next to the neck pickup for a pickup cover. Holes were started in the body for this so if you did remove the pickguard you will see two extra holes there. Using a factory Sadowsky pickguard will cover these holes. It does not change the playability of the bass at all. (See last photos)
This bass had one of the original BP4K preamps which was starting to get scratchy, so we dropped in a brand new BP4K so it is perfect!
Bass has had a new setup with Sadowsky Blue Label Stainless Steel Strings and is ready to play!
Any questions please reach out!
