barks Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 (edited) NOW SOLD Ash body with really nice grain. Natural finish with flawless vintage amber tint. Vintage tinted maple neck with gorgeous Brazilian rosewood fingerboard. Tort guard. [attachment=88012:Nordy_197_body.jpg] [attachment=88013:Nordy_197_back.jpg] Neck finish is silky smooth matt finish and feels better than any other bass I have played. Pickups are Nordy Big Singles and the bass has the excellent two band Nordy pre-amp. Controls are: Master volume with push / pull for passive mode, Pickup blend, Passive tone control Stacked bass and treble boost / cut This spec would be £2700+ if ordered from new now. This is a lovely bass to play. Big sounds and very versatile. Used for a couple of gigs and sounded great in both my rock and blues band and my covers band playing lots of styles from 70's funk and 60's soul to modern pop stuff and rock classics. This bass can really do it all. Nice and light weight too. I don't have an exact weight but it would be around or just under 9lb. Comes in it's original semi hard gig bag made by Protec in silver/grey. Bought new from Bass Direct less than 2 years ago. So why the possible sale? Well I am pretty much using 4 string basses all the time at the moment and it is likely that this beautiful instrument will be getting virtually no use in the forseeable future. It may be that I am just going to admit that I'm not a 5 string bass player. So my loss will certainly be someone else's gain. Probably looking for a cash sale in the region of £1995.00 Edited October 28, 2012 by barks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
