i have feeling i'm gonna miss this one , but i gotta do
what i gotta do ...

did i mention the E string d-tuner ?

[DaveDeVille]

As soon as I read the title I knew it had to be this one. Unbeilievable. That bass has been on my gas list for some time now. It's really tempting me to think about parting ways with my Lakand DPLE JO4, but, but, but....AGHH!

Did you replace the pickups with Sadowskys? I read on Ninos site it originally had DiMarzio Ultra Jazz pickups. Do you know if the body is a vintage full sized Jazz body or a regular downsized body 7/8? Is the gig bag that comes with it a Nino case or something different? I thought Nino had a case like Sadowskys. Its a purdy bass!!! im very interested.

actually , Nino sent me the bass with the Sadowsky pickups
and Sadowsky preamp already installed ...
but i believe he did have the DiMarzio's in it at first .

body seems to be a full size , single piece ash beauty .

the soft case is very nice , more than just a gig bag really .
it has a front pocket large enough to hold straps , cables ,
and just about anything else needed for a gig night ... except
your amp , course .

headstock picture and a shot of the bass in action ...
sorry for the crappy pictures .

I played this bass whille i saw Nino at the Sadowsky shop and it is one solid player, sorry to hear you cant buy your old bass back Nino.

[Nick man]

Id buy it if it werent for the fact that Im about to start my 3rd Valenti.

[513rocks.com]

well i guess that rules me out. i needed to pay with a credit card and was hoping you could do paypal. ill need to sell my modulus flea bass to get this one and that could take a week or so.

[giantjerk]

Is the neck standard Jazz width at the nut?
