TRADED! Thanks for looking...
After some careful consideration (and the realization that I need more basses in my life than expensive guitars that don't get played nearly enough), up for grabs is a nearly-dead mint aluminum Normandy archtop. I recently picked up this orange-flaked beaut in San Jose and hand-carried it back to Boston with me on the plane. It was sourced via a guy I know from Jim Normandy directly. This is a one-off with big huge flakes, made specifically for the NAMM show. TIG-welded to smooth perfection, tone for days, and build like a damn tank (seriously). Includes the original warranty card (unsubmitted) and a form-fitted plush hard shell. $1500/shipped CONUS.
I'd prefer a straight-up sale but am also open to interesting trades. I'm currently into vintage P-basses or possibly partial trade a 4 or 5er (fretted) Stambaugh or Clement.
cheers,
