I just sent the seller an email to see if they were interested in selling, I always wanted one of these basses.

The Seller emailed me back very quickly, it is up for sale however I just purchased a Mike Lull Z from a Board member right before the holidays and I have another Mike Lull to be delivered soon. So for two hours I struggled but I am going to pass but I really like this bass and the seller did reply quick.

That looks awfully close to my first Sadowsky. The serial number rings a bell, so I'm pretty sure that was mine. I actually got it used from Sadowsky, but in mint condition. Excellent bass. I just never got used to the 12" radius fretboard on a 4-string, and the smaller body didn't suit me either - I like full-size bass bodies and 9" or rounder radius.

But a tone monster for sure. I sold it for $2400, so $2500 given the current prices of Sadowsky it's not bad. . . . Although it's missing the original Sadowsky case.

You do know that you can order a full size body 4-string NYC Sadowsky with a 9" radius...? You can even choose between 1.5" or 1.75" nut width on 4-strings, as well as 19mm string spacing (like Tal Wilkenfeld has) or the standard 20mm string spacing. I hope I didn't make your wallet crawl away in a dark corner ;).
