That is one tasteful beast man... I'm strickly a fretted player though, but I love this look and style, would it hold up to being fretted do you think? R

Nice That's gunna thrown down some serious power! Glad your giving her a good home man!

Tasty bass man, I'm almost wanting it if fender made a serious punt at 6 string jazz's I reckon they'd defo have a market... To my knowledge (barring the majestic 'Fender VI') the only decent 6 string was the custom shop one they made for the AAF bassist... If they did a run of jazz 6ers I'd get involved! One of you must work for/own/have a say in etc Fenders... Make this happen!!! Bump for a tasteful beast! PS, how's the mesa serving you dude? R.

B.U.M.P. offers? Trades? Etc.

The 1x15 'may' have found a new home... So how about the AD200 MK3 and OBC4x10 for £1100? That's £1000 less than new! That's a damn fine deal?

PM's replied etc

Bumps!!! By the way, when I say it's worth 5k, that's what the guys at Nordstrand quoted me for a new one, as long as your basses is of equal-ish new value, then hit me up!!

Considering there's one of these lurking around the gallery for twice this price, I'd say this is a good'un! Shame me no fretless playist

You got a message mate in regards to a trade for my Nordstrand NX6 custom. Let me know, also, where are you based? Russ

PICS ADDED!!!

Hey guys, I got this beast as part of a rather complex trade a few months ago on here, it's an incredible bass, great tonal scale and a real beaut. It has 2 Nordstrand fat stacks and a nordy EQ, the top wood is redwood Burl, with matching headstock, it has a lovely subtle dove & cross pearl inlay on the 12th and the action is outstandingly low. I offer this up for a trade as I want something with a real modern tone, a Spector USA NX 6 or something familiar will do. I spine to Carey at Nordstrand guitars a few weeks ago, he told me that they have no plans of making this custom model available again anytime soon, but if they were, with these options it would be close to $7500 (£5000 or so) I can provide this email to clarify if you want. Trade wise it needs of similar value or with additional cash, needs to be fretted, and it needs to be a 6 string with a bright modern tone board. Let me know what you got! I'm in essex and can travel If need be for the right deal. The redwood Burl on my nord was replaced a while back with another slice of matching redwood Burl sent direct from Nordstrand guitars themselves. The work is 99% unnoticeable and in no way effects the playing/looks etc. Just needs to be said as a point of honesty. In picture 4 you can see the slightest bit of evidence of this. Any other questions, I'll do my best to answer. Thanks guys! Russ. 07912222127.

Pictures sir? Sounds like an awesome bass!

something aggie..... same kinda puch, and easier on the spine!

it's a penguin sticker! T'will peel off sir, I couldnt bring myself to do it, i like the penguin!

PM'd mate

It handles the low F#'s a treat man! I'm thinking about going as low as £1400... Only because I can buy what I want with that! Be warned that if what I want sells, then this will get withdrawn! Limited time only, full orange stack for £1400, c'mon, that's a cheap cheap price!!!! Russ.

This was the same rig that got a load of attention a few weeks ago! Just so happens I've seen a real nice lighter beast. It probably won't delivery the same trouser flapping madness as this but hey, we'll see!

Dont split it! thats an offense... You must wait until I can buy it all!

A slightly more comprehensive ad will help you sell it man, i.e. condition, year, model number, case/no case etc and a few more high res pics of the fretboard, headstock etc will defo help too! Oh, and its BASS not BASE good luck bud! Russ.

Hey guys, I picked this up last month from one of our brothers on Bass Chat, but I have seen another rig that takes my fancy, so yet again I must place this beasty up for grabs! I know you know the score with these beasts, 200w of pure valve power, I know people tend to judge a rigs max volume by its wattage, but with pure valve rigs, 200w (like this orange) sounds more like 1000w. This thing is LOUD. Just as an example, I can only get it up to quater volume absolute tops in the house and that literally rattles the light fittings. The head is 100% fully working or course its in pretty good overall condition, it has a few minor nicks in the orange covering, but nothing major. The head has 2 4ohm outs and 1 8ohm out, I run it with each of the 2 4ohm outs running to a jack in of the rear of each cab, though you can daisy chain them if you want! The head was built in October 2004. I was looking at GAK.co.uk for a fair 'new' price and they retail for £1428 The OCB 4x10 cab is again 100% fully working and in the same cosmetic condition as the head, one or two minor nicks, but nothing major at all. The black grill cover is in excellent condition as are all the speakers. It has 2 jack and 2 speakon inputs on the rear and is dated 'March 2005'. On GAK.co.uk this is £732 The OCB 1x15 cab is the same deal, 100% fully working, great looking, with a couple of minor scuffs. The black cover is spot on, as are the speakers etc etc. Again, there are 2 jack and 2 speakon inputs and its also dated 'March 2005' On GAK.co.uk this is £497 So if you bought it all new, thats a total of £2657 pure valve orange power! Anyone is welcome to come and have a try and see how awesome this beast really is! The rig, as I'm sure you can imagine, is not that light, the head weighs 24kg, the 1x15 is about 30kg and the 4x10 is about 35kg. I'm offering this rig at £1500, which is basically like you buying the head and getting the 4x10 and 1x15 for free! As I said, everything is 100% working and it was re-valved a year ago, feel free to come and try it. Collection is deffinitely preffered, but I can meet up to 100 or so miles for the cost of fuel. You can ever organise your own courier at your own risk/cost! So thats that, £1500 for £2657 worth of orange. These are fantastic amps and look amazing, you will not be dissapointed if you come try her out I'm on 07912222127 if you want to chat or arrange a viewing. I'm not really up for trades, but if you have a very high quality head and cabs, at least 500w and reasonably light, then I MAY be interested, though I have my sights pretty much set on what I want.

£50 is a real good price... These are real good basses with a nice vintage vibe. Who ever buys this will be pleasently surprised
