I have a Nordstrand Nordy VJ5 for trade. Its a 2007 made instrument. Its a swamp ash body with a maple neck and fingerboard. Hands down the best neck ive ever played apart from my Lakland 5594. Anyone who's ever played a Nordy probably knows these are one of the best Jazz basses ever made. The electronics are not the original spec. The original electronics were a Nordstrand 3 band with Nordstrand Fat Stacks. I personally prefer the Aguilar SD's. This bass was made for and ordered by Mark at Bass Direct I believe. I can't find a mark on it so its been very well looked after As I said the pickups are Aguilar Super Doubles, and the pre is and Aguilar OBP3. switchable active passive by the toggle. Sounds monstrous. Anything from a Jaco back pickup burp to a P Bass thump. Like many high end end basses this is super easy to play.action is super low with DR fat beams. Weighs 8.9 pounds so is light for a 5 string. I have loved playing this bass and it is Nordstrand at its finest. Trades im after are a Sadowsky UV70 5 or other Sadowsky 5vers. Im really after a Yamaha TRB 6 string. Or other high end 5 string basses im interested in.. Thankyou for looking. OOh i ay be tempted by a very special light SR5 -
And now for something a little different but its still in funkyish category for me. -

OK so far I have some suggestions from you wonderful people. Kent Armstrong Aguilar Dimarzio Pribora Lindy Fender 62 CS Bartolini's Im now lost. I do know I've always loved Aguilars warm sound in every amp ive had. Ive owned so may basses with Bartolini's I have Aguilars in my Nordstrand soooooo. Im intrigued by Lindy Fralin's tbh. had them in a Jazz bass once and they were superb. I feel like I'm asking what should I have for tea tonight to be honest

After me raving how good my Squire 70's P bass is, I've really been playing it a lot and I really don't like these pickups. . To my ears they are harsh with no refinement at all and lack the low end punch.. Maybe my ears have been spoilt by high end pickups over the years.. Very difficult to explain why I dont like them, I just think they sound cheap.. to me anyways. The bass feels and plays wonderful imo but these things have got to go. I do wonder if the pots are not up to scratch also but that's another thread. 🤔😆. Any recommendations.? Ive always loved Bartolini's btw.

Jeez not another one.!! Do I have to go into ultra geek to find this one. Just let me know.
