This is killing me, but it's just not getting the playing time that it deserves, and I could really use the money. I ordered this bass from Carey last summer and picked it up in November, and it's an amazing instrument in fantastic condition.
The specs:
alder body
Brazilian rosewood fingerboard (just gorgeous)
Nordstrand pickups: reverse P and Big Split
Nordy 3-band preamp with vol/vol, passive tone control, and preamp bypass
Carey also custom-made the color for me. It's not for everyone, but every single person whose ever seen it has complimented me on it, and it's as unique as can be!
Looking for $1900 shipped in the lower 48. Please, no trades. Ships in its original Nordy gig bag.

I have a bunch of sweet stuff, but as I only have two hands and limited funds, I simply can't afford to keep stuff, no matter how special it is.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Bourbon Street, New Orleans | | | why would you even try to tone it down??? A bright yellow guard would work too...or even red would make it christmasy

05-25-2009, 07:27 PM
| | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2003 Location: Springfield, VA | | | 19mm at the bridge. The nut is 1.81" (per Nordstrand website)... don't know what that translates into as far as string-to-string spacing at the nut, but it's a 'standard' Jazz 5-string spacing. Hope that helps!

Naw... toss a black pickguard and hardware on it, now that would look sexy!
I know Major Metal would agree!
Peace,
