Pre-Owned Sadowsky MetroLine Will Lee 22-Fret Solid Black Satin Ash 5-String Bass
Model Number: SML22WL5 93 ASH FR
Serial Number: SML C 003916-24
Weight: 8.08 Pounds
This Pre-Owned Sadowsky is a special selection and was modified for its original owner by our team at Fret Nation & Carey Nordstrand! The original buyer came out to select this bass. At the time we had two in stock and he chose this one as it was more lively and resonant than the other. We then took the bass over to Carey Nordstrand who reshaped the neck, taking off the extra rounded back at the lower frets making it more uniform the entire length of the neck also slimming it up overall. Green Luminlay Side Dots were then added before the neck was refinished. Then black hardware was added using all factory Sadowsky components as well as Hipshot USA ultralight tuning machines. In addition, the pickup blend was then "reversed" to operate like a traditional pickup blend rather than the Sadowsky Reverso configuration.
Overall the bass is in fantastic condition and only shows wear on the bridge pickup cover, light pickguard scratches in the usual slap positions, and the body finish is becoming slightly glossed in front of the bridge pickup by the b-string. (see last photo)
Bass is setup in standard. We can modify the setup or install most strings of your choosing prior to shipping. (standard rounds, other strings may carry an additional cost).
