This is a true, one of a kind, custom piece. This Custom Nordy NS5 was originally designed by the late Adrian Garcia and Carey Nordstrand. Adrian had the vision for the body shape and Carey made it happen.
Carey said that this bass is pretty much priceless because Adrian Garcia has passed away and he's not going to build another one like this. He has stopped building his custom instruments due to the fact that he has got too many orders all the way into next year and has not yet been able to fulfill them. If he had to build another to bass like this, it would cost $6,500.00 +
Specs:
Camphor Burl top
Basswood body
Spalted Maple back
Maple neck with Bubinga stringers
Redwood transition block
Pau Ferro fingerboard with sapwood
Matching Camphor Burl knobs
Nordstrand 3B preamp
Controls are Volume/Blend/Tone/Treble/Mid/Bass/LED switch
Volume knob is push/pull to toggle between active/passive
Mid knob is push/pull to toggle between 400Hz and 1 kHz
Nordstrand Big Split pickups
2 stage white LED lights
1 3/4" nut
34.5" scale
19mm string spacing
Weighs 8 pounds 10 ounces (on my digital scale)
Ships in an excellent condition, heavy duty Gator TSA molded hard shell case
$3,500.00 shipped and insured in the CONUS
I "might" consider a trade for a Sadowsky NYC 5 or some other comparable 5 string. I would prefer to sell outright but will consider trades. Trade value would likely be a bit higher but I'm open to discussions. Particularly those that might net me some cash.
Please open a private conversation with me if you have any questions or wish to make a trade offer rather than posting your questions or offers here in the thread.
Thanks for looking!
