FS/FT: Nordstrand Nordy VJ5 Classic (Rare Color) LOOK!

[kraigg007]

Considering selling my in like new condition Nordy VJ5 Classic in Sherwood Green. The Bass was completed by master builder Carey Nordstrand in December of 2010. Less than 6 months old and has never been gigged, never exposed to a smoking environment, never exposed to a pet environment, and is a great bass.

The specs of the bass are as follows:

- Alder body finished in Sherwood Green Metallic
- Maple (Satin Finish) neck
- Madagascar rosewood fingerboard and parchment dots (Sounds right in the middle of East Indian rosewood and Brazilian rosewood)
- 2 Nordy NJ5 pickups (wide)
- 60's Pickup spacing
- 18 volt two-band preamp with Burr Brown circuit
- Controls Master Volume (Active Passive Push Pull)/Pickup Blend/Tone/Treble Bass Boost Cut
- 20 fret
- 34" scale
- Chrome Hardware
- 9.4 lbs
- Premium Grey Protec Contego Bag
- Low to medium low Action with no fretbuzz or deadspots (what else would you expect from Carey Nordstrand)

Would cost nearly $3500 if ordered new with a 6 month wait. The condition of this bass is a 10/10 with only minor swirling on the pickguard. As new as a used bass gets will even include the original invoice.

Produces a great vintage tone in passive and the active bass sounds uncolored and pure. It you dig Carey Nordstrand Basses, this one is for you.

$2650 shipped in the US only.
Cash preferred, but will only trade for Alleva Coppolo LG5, Sadowsky SA200 Amp, Gold Bullion, or Silver Bullion. (Weird request but you never know).

so what does the burr brown circuit do for the bass? i.e., what is it, why is it cooler than the standard opamps in Carey's pre? Or do all his pres now include Burr Brown opamps?

The burr brown circuit makes the bass response more immediate. The tone quality is not measurably better or worse to my ears. I would ask Carey Nordstrand if you would like a better description.

Hope this helps it is a great bass.

Here is the link to the item on ebay. If we do the deal outside of ebay, you can purchase it for the price on Talkbass. I was amazed when I received a $100 ebay and $95 dollar paypal fee on a similarly priced item.

Yes, she is still available, but the more I play her the more I love this bass. Still accepting offers via pm and email, just not bumping to push a sale. If she sells she sells if not, I am perfectly happy.

Not interested in a Spector trade, but thanks.
