Wow! Perfect pair you have there.

I know the fretboard makes a huge difference but can you highlight the difference between the Fralins and Nordstrands. Thanks.

Just a feeler

:confused: Are the basses for sale, or not?

And what are you GASsing for? Maybe you can get it in trade.

From what I understand, I have to put a price-even if it's a "feeler".

But, yeah, I should've considered the option of trading.:hmm:

I'm looking for a Sadowsky 5 string. I really like the MV5 in trans white with a maple board...

Wow! Perfect pair you have there. The second one should be white right?

The Fralins really have a vintage vibe. The Nords are simliar, but can get alittle more hi-fi if you wanted too. I think the comparsions between the two have been discussed on these boards.

The white one with the Nordys is turning me on. Too bad I'm in the process of buying the other half of my rig right now. Something about the DJ's just looks way better than any of the other Skylines. Maybe it's that sexy body style.....

Those are nice, dude!!

Man, if the white one had the rosewood board, then me and Bard would be talking about my 55-02 and you and me would be talking. That's so hawt, the maple board is tempting me. :cool:

interested.

is the string spacing 19mm?

chingas

interested.

From what I could gather on TB, the spacing is 19mm, just like Fenders and the Lakland JO(hence the fact that the Fralins and Nords can be used in these basses)

Yup, it's 19mm.

(One of) These shouldn't last long! Digging the LPB/Tort combo!

FEEL THAT!?! yakilinme ovah here! The white one AAAAAAHHHHH GAS GAS GAS!!!!!!

Uh, Valenti #008 wouldn't interest you, trade wise?? Would it!? Nordy's with an Aguilar. Guess not, as you just dumped two DJ's ( cousins imho). Good. Just cleaner her strings last night. Best axe I've ever owned.

But.... man, the whitey DJ is killin' me. Looks-wise.

chingas
10-29-2007, 11:35 AM
It sounds just as good as it looks. I'm only selling it because I want this Sadowsky and I would like to be debt-free!

Do you have any sound clips of that white DJ5, i've got the money in hand btw and will you ship to the uk?

I've played a stock DJ4 before, how does the tone compare?

chingas
10-29-2007, 11:04 PM
I don't have any sounds clips at the moment...

The Nordstrands, I feel, are a bit more aggressive comparde to the stock pickups.

I would have to see how much it would cost to ship overseas, and make an adjustment to the price(If you're serious about buying, we can try work something out).

Discharge
10-29-2007, 11:15 PM
Are you able to produce sound clips, I am serious about buying this bass but I need to be re-assured since I really love the stock tone.

I'm in the market for a boutique j bass, the dj and bacchus woodline 02 hand made series are the top of my list.

chingas
10-29-2007, 11:21 PM
I'll see what I can do.

Discharge
10-29-2007, 11:25 PM
Do you have the old pre-amp and pups by any chance?

chingas
10-29-2007, 11:29 PM
I don't have the stock pups. I do have the stock pots and control plate.

chingas
10-30-2007, 04:53 PM
Bump. Again.

Discharge
10-30-2007, 07:48 PM
Any luck with those sound clips?

EDIT: Oh and pm me with a price inc shipping to the uk, the more I think about this bass, the more I forget about the Bacchus ;)

Discharge
10-30-2007, 08:16 PM
Oh and also, are those old pics because the pups don't look like dual coils or are they straight single coil NJ5, or possibly split coil NJ5S pups?

chingas
10-30-2007, 08:39 PM
They are split coils.

Discharge
10-30-2007, 08:47 PM
Ahh thought so, to fit duals would have taken routing.

Did you get my pm?

chingas
10-30-2007, 08:57 PM
My bad. I somehow thought both terms were interchangable! :/
