Actually had resigned myself to living without that one. Kinda moving away from the coffee-table basses these days, but you never know...

| | Grand-dude | | Join Date: May 2002 Location: Denton, TX | | 34" scale, weight 8.8 lbs by the bath scale method, vintage tint maple one-piece neck. Not much else to say... it's a passive VP5. Here's the original FS thread from bamabass (you'll note I borrowed his pics because my good camera is not functional). FT: Nordy VP5 in Sonic Blue Nitro w/ Vintage Tint Maple Fretboard

I don't know why this bass keeps changing hands because it is the best 5 string p bass I've ever played. Although I did replace it with a nordy pj 5 with a slightly thinner profile. He is right too, the value keeps increasing, I got a steal on it from the original owner over a year ago and now these are going for several hundreds more. |

Yeah, totally agree about the best P5 I've ever played too. Like butter in a live mix, but retains clarity. Never heard anything like it.
If I wasn't looking for some funds to put someplace else, AND hadn't decided in my old age that I'm much more comfortable with a 1 3/4" nut width like my Will Lee 5, it would not be on the block.
