F/S Nordy vJ5 Modern Quilt Top Brazilian 2010 NAMM UNREAL !!! *****

[RockBoxBass]

Up for sale is my Nordy VJ5 Modern. #218. This was one of the 2010 Namm Basses. The specs are...

• vJ5 Modern 34.5" scale
• Alder Body
• Quilted Maple Top (upgrade)
• Brazilian Rosewood Board (upgrade)
• A hint of Birdseye on back of neck and front of headstock
• Abalone markers (top and side)
• Amber Tint
• Nordstrand Big Singles (60's position)
• Nordstrand 2 band Preamp with Passive tone
• Controls Volume,volume,passive tone, bass/treble
• push/pull for active/passive
• weighs 9lbs on my digital BR scale
• Reunion Blues GigBag

This bass really, really, really sounds incredible. Big, Fat, Full, Even and Clear. Its the most "vintage" sounding of my 5 Vj5's. It has a low mid growl that reminds me of a 60's jazz. In passive mode it totally kills. In active mode it starts to sound more on the thick, more modern side. The 2 band is soooo versatile. The treble gives you a flexability unlike any Ive ever used. The action on this like any Nordy. Super low, perfect frets, perfect action.
I only got this last week and I gigged it a couple nights and got so many compliments on the looks and the tone. But...this weekend my wife and I took a big step and we purchased and new Home Lot here in New Orleans and I must come up with a ton o' cash for the down payment. Not the greatest of timing (bass wise) but this was my most recent purchase and Im gonna need to cash out. I really wish I didnt have to, but my wife is SO supportive of my GAS and relentless buying of gear and she wants this Lot, so...shes gonna get it.
There are 2 imperfections. there is a small nick on the back of the body. Into the clear coat (pictured) and (during shipping) the zipper made lil indentations at the tip of the headstock. It almost looks like grain. but its not. I will take necessary precautions to not let this happen again . Thats it. otherwise, perfect. Carey told me this bass listed for over $3700 with the upgrades. Its an incredible instrument.
SOLD

I have played this bass and its awesome!!!

That bass is downright gorgeous. I've admired that more than once on the Nordstrand site.

You punk, I wish you were selling the one I sold you. Now I'm having it rebuilt from the ground up, though with some slight mods.

Good luck with the sale! That's a BEAST and Robert's a rad dude to deal with!

WOAH

Superb looking instrument, and Robert is as good as it gets to deal with!

[RockBoxBass]

Now careful....these do NOT come with this bass. these are from my other vJ5's. I also have a pearl white..if anyone is interested in seeing it. I held it up and it was a bit much...

$2395 OBO shipped


Gosh darn you!!! Why do you have to make it so tempting? I have spent WAAAAY too much on basses and amplification gear in the past two months and I would like to keep both of my little orbs intact!!!

People, this is an insane deal. Carey's prices recently went up, too.

And the tort guard on there looks great.

Would a 2008 American Standard P-Bass (sunburst, with the SKB American Std. case + all case candy) in mint condition be of interest in partial trade (I'd surely add-in many $$$ with that bass)? If so, we can take it to PM level.

When I see the word "unreal" in a listing I just know I won't be able to afford it. Beautiful bass - here's to a good home for it.

[RockBoxBass]
