Not quite what I was looking for but looks a nice one.

I put on some of the new DA balanced tension nickles, and she's back to factory fresh tone.
I love this bass!!!!  | Hey Chef,
I've been checking out the DA balanced on a Squire Jag and its a nice!
EXL170BT - .045 .060 .080 .107
What did you go with? I'll pretty much do this same gauge with a 130 B on my Nordy classic VJ5.
I'm going to try this 5 string set once I wear out this DM Helix SS set - which by the way is like a MTD set but with a nice mid bump. Works well for switching between slap & finger. But this is SS of course. |

That B string must feel HUGE next to that little .95 E! |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2010 Location: Brooklyn, NY | | | Hey guys. Awesome thread. Am very interested in getting a Nordy. Am currently using Nordy pups in all my basses and they sound awesome.
But I'm curious as to what a rough price of a new build? I know it will vary depending on the different options I go with, but like what is the basic pricing around for a VJ5 modern?
Apologies in advance if we're not allowed to ask such questions in the forum. |

Apologies in advance if we're not allowed to ask such questions in the forum. | Pricing has changed a bit in the last year or so. So, your best bet is to call the shop for the most current pricing and lead times.
