    Mate I asked around and this might be useful to who owns the instrument. https://www.facebook.com/groups/48129144034/posts/10159398347634035/?comment_id=10159398580814035&notif_id=1629398373096011&notif_t=group_comment&ref=notif

    I remember when I was trying to find out info on my Nordy VJ5. Call it geekery, call it..... Yes ok its geekery. Like you fingerz Ive really clicked with my VJ5. Probably the best 5 string I've ever played. That bass you are looking for is on this Bass Direct sold page. Amazing specs. The one your after is number 10 down the list. mine is 17 down. https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Nordstrand_Sold.html I remember playing the 3rd 4 string down with the Amboyna top and at the time it blew me away.

    Did you ask Mark at Bass Direct.? Failing that ask on the Facebook Nordy club. They will probably have seen it. Or Talk Bass if it was sent abroad. It will most probably have, made for Bass Direct in the neck pocket, as mine has. Bass Direct had a big batch of Nordys made for them back then...might help if you know the serial number which is on the neck plate.

    Im not sure tbh mate. Think they might be DRs. Not sure i need to change the pickups as they sound great. I may change the tuners. Will see.

    Best Jazz basses available imo.. I owned a Suhr custom 70's J and it was killer J.

    This is a bit of a revelation for me having never owned a P Bass before. Right away ive noticed that this bass makes me play very differently. I don't know what it is about a P Bass but the feel/neck and the tone makes me slow my playing down. Im quite amazed that you can buy a bass of this quality for this much money. It seriously is a very well put together instrument. Ive been playing it all afternoon and im at a loss to find anything bad about it.

    I remember when this guy came on stage in his pink cardigan at the Jazz Cafe in London with Incognito. Totally blew us away. He is one of the greatest musicians ive ever seen live period.

    It is sublime.
  16. bubinga5
    no probs.
  17. bubinga5
    The East pre can do that
  18. bubinga5
    Its different. The quality of tone is there but the Suhr was a 70s spacing jazz bass. This is more 60,s

    No sorry. You can pickup Wilkinson j bass pickups for about 40 quid though

    Got this Jazz bass in a trade, but I have to realise traditional JJ Jazz basses are not for me anymore. In brand new condition. Not a mark on it. White/Cream Alder Body. Maple neck. A John East pre and Bartolini pickups have been added. DR strings. As well as a Fender high mass bridge. The original Wilkinson BBOT bridge is included as well as a Leather(ish) Thomann gig bag and leather Gaucho strap... I have a black vintage style hardcase also if needed. Sound wise its pretty amazing, sounds like a good Jazz bass on steroids . Great East pre. and my favourite Bart pickups. It weighs 4.1 kg on my scales. These basses are £289 retail. The cost of the pre and pickups alone are more than the bass so I think its a bargain. The East pre and Barts are brand new. So looking for a good P Bass. If you have a Yamaha BB, Squire/Mexican Fender or Sire P7 4 string I'm all ears. Other offers are welcome. Thankyou for looking.

    Amazing bass playing from one of my favourites. He just gets more and more creative as this cracker of a jazz funk record progresses. Larry Carlton on Guitar, Wilton Felder tenor sax, Joe Sample Keys.

    This. Ask him on the FB Nordy page. Ive spoken with him a few times about my Nordy VJ5
