A couple of pix taken just this morning are attached, with more to follow.
I am the original owner, took delivery from Roger on 8/27/09. Bass has never been gigged, just enjoyed by me in my smoke-free home studio. It is pristine, in the same condition as when I took delivery less about 15 hours of my gentle playing time at home.
Comes with original Sadowsky Full-Size Soft Case, all accessories (polish, cloth, tools, strap locks), documentation, and Sadowsky factory shipping box.
The bass just thunders - the Nordstrand Big Singles are all about loud, aggressive, jazz bass tone. Jazz bass on steroids is how Carey Nordstrand describes them. I think they're actually more versatile, everything from rock to jazz to country sounds just gorgeous.
The only reason I'm selling is to fund a few custom guitars and basses. If you're looking for a great 4-string Jazz or P bass, this one provides the best of both worlds in an absolutely stunning package bolstered by Roger's famous pre-amp (Vintage Tone Control included!) and world-class setup.
Asking $875 less than what I paid just 2 months ago. Can be yours for
$3,000, including UPS shipping and insurance to anywhere in the Continental U.S.
