Are Nordstrands really worth it?

[Rodent]

Here's a pair of Nordy NP-4 sound clips recorded yesterday afternoon. These were recorded utilizing a bass I built a couple years back (for reference: maple/maple neck with poplar body, 250k ohm pots with .047uf Orange Drop cap, BAII bridge, D'Adderio flats) no effects, no compression, no EQ on either of these two clips

This bass has seen a ton of studio work from its owner here in Seattle since it was first constructed. funny, the whole idea was to build it as cheap as possible but utilize a NP4 and BAII bridge. I think we succeeded on all objectives.

O ... you should hear this thing grind away when it's strung with rounds

all the best,

Hey, I tried the link and theres a password required, how do I reach the pickup samples?

 

[Rodent]

you get prompted for a password for those MP3's - really?

drop me an e-mail (not a PM) and I'll send you an mp3 attachment for each of them

all the best,

Links work fine for me. Nice gutsy tone on the 'Immigrant Song' clip, great playing. If you don't mind, what was the signal chain on the bass?
