If you have a Pre-Gibson Tobias or a Ken Smith I'd be willing to trade + or - cash or 2 for 1. No four strings please
Buy before January 3rd and get $100 off!
First up is a Benavente vintage vortex fretless. This bass sounds amazing and plays like butter.
35" scale
19mm spacing
Mahogany body
maple/rosewood neck
hipshot hardware
Benavente pickups and 3 band pre
Asking firesale price of $1000 shipped in an old reunion blues double bag (not pictured) and I'll even include a brand new instructional fretless DVD.
Next is a Nordstrand VJ5. I'm very on the fence about selling this one, and may pull if the Benavente sells.
The Specs:
Alder body
Maple neck
Brazillian rosewood board
MOP blocks
Universal neck pickup route(currently a reverse P)
Sadowsky 2 band pre with VTC
Weighs under 9 lbs
19 mm spacing
34.5 inch scale
Small frets
Plays like a dream and sounds amazing!
This one comes with a Reunion blues continental bag (pictured with the Benavente).
Asking $2300

It only left my hands to help my Fodera quest, and if I had the resources at the time to keep two high level instruments it would still be mine. Good luck with the sale and to anyone interested in that Nordy, go for it and you won't be sorry for a second!

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2009 Location: Johnson City, TN | | | Sorry for the absence. The Nordy for now is off the market. I'm going to buy a jazz pickup for it and try out a JJ config.
The benavente is still up. Consider trades that net me at least $300.
