Hello TB -- up for sale is a very rare six string made by Carey Nordstrand (NJ6 Deluxe). As you may know, these are no longer produced given Carey's enormously successful Nordy line of 4- and 5-strings.
SOLD http://nordstrandguitars.com/in-stock.html#used
Not only aren't these available anymore, but Carey informed me it's one of less than 10 six strings he's ever made! It's been back in Yucaipa for a bit, but I haven't had a chance to promote it for sale until now, so please let me know if you have any questions.
Specs are as follow:
- Northern Ash body
- Figured Myrtle top
- Birdseye Maple fingerboard
- Nordstrand Dual Coil pickups (wired passively, Vol-Blend-Tone)
- 35" Scale
I THINK the weight is in the 9lb+ range, but please don't quote me as I've never weighed it. It is definitely light for a six string, but the guys at the shop could give you an exact weight.
NOTE: as mentioned on the link above, there is a ding on the front arm rest, but I don't have a close up of that if you need to see it (the guys might be able to provide that as well if necessary). It's in immaculate condition besides that, however.
I will say, this is an incredible instrument, and by far the best bass I have ever owned. I had it built with the idea of a Richard Bona vibe (hence the wood choice and passive DC pickups), and it delivers in spades! What I wasn't anticipating was the awesome slap tone with the pickups centered, and VERY convincing P-bass tone out of the neck pickup. Also, as you can see from the additional photos I posted, there is plenty of room in the cavity to add a preamp if you so desire (but IMO Carey's pickups don't need it).
Thanks for reading checking it out!
