That final photo!!! 😲😍

iPhone filters!! But yes the wood grain comes out beautifully.

Custom built Jazz 5 by Swiss luthier Tino Tedesco.

DiMarzio Ultra Jazz Pickups.

Aguilar Preamp.

Hipshot bridge and tuners.

Removable Walnut ramp.

Weighs around 7.5lbs. (7lbs 9oz)

Great sounding B string, super lightweight, nice pre. I’ve been using this bass as my main gigging bass for over a year now, I really like it, but I’m returning to another instrument of mine and I find switching back and forth between basses to be frustrating, so I’m letting this beautiful bass go. 
 

Open to offers and trades. Hunting for Flea Jazz Bass + cash.

Can anyone guess where he's based?

Hi Schnozzalee,

Yes I am in Dublin, Ireland.

I gigged this bass tonight folks, in all honesty I am not a P-bass player, I find that my RH touch is more suited to playing over the back pickup of a Jazz Bass, as I have been for years.....but...I nearly had a change of heart after tonight’s gig, this bass sounds GREAT!

Still drooling over this - is that a Nordstrand pickup? 

Hey Cameron, I’m not sure man, a few people have suggested that it is a Nordy pup.

Hi folks.

Recently acquired US Lakland BG 5.

Near mint condition, I am the 2nd owner, the original owner purchased directly from Lakland.

Strung with TI flats, comes with original Lakland case.

I received this instrument as part of a trade deal, I’m just not a P-bass player, but take my word for it this instrument sounds very good.  See below a short clip of me playing this bass direct into GarageBand with no effects or eq’ing, just a bit of foam under the bridge.

Open to trade offers.

Nice!

Beautiful bass, how goes it with shipping from Russia to the EU and vice versa?

Н, what is the spase between the strings at the bridge? Thanks.

Hi Karabass.

Sorry, I didn’t see your post earlier.

The string spacing at the bridge is 19mm.

Thanks Binky, 

Yes Nordstrand make the best pickups in my view.

A great company to deal with too. I had acquired a set of Nordstrand jazz bass pups second hand but un-used, however they didn’t fit in my bass so I mailed Nordstrand to see if there was any solution I could try, they offered to wind me a new set in exchange for the set I had, I had to pay postage and the difference in model price(which was a small fee), I was very happy with this result. They are no1 for me now.

What a gorgeous bass!

Those Nordy basses are SOOOOOOOO underrated over here in Europe.

The first one I got, made me sell all my 5 Sadowsky basses (US custom & Metro).

My VJ5 and VP5 are still my main basses!

Hey Gillento,

Thank you.

Nordy’s are definitely underrated, the sound is just amazing.

Lightweight instrument(3.7kg). 

34.5” scale.

Hey,

It's the natural finish one with the black scratch plate and block inlays.

As much as I'd love to trade I can't man, my missus would de-ball me, I had to get her divine clearance to acquire the 5.

Surely this bass will be snapped up soon.

I wonder if OW will ever consider producing a 5 string version of this bass?

GLWS dude.

I'm a big fan of Scott's, and yeah I've had my eye on his sig jazz since he said OW were building him one.
And I've just gotten my hands on a US Fender 5 Deluxe, and then I see this thread, if only I had a time machine...
