My New Nordy VJ5

Well, I picked up my Nordy VJ5 from Scott Pazera on Saturday. It's an incredible bass in every respect. I've been thrilled since the first time I played it. I plugged it into the Eden and Epifani and it brought a smile to my face. It's really an awesome instrument.

This is a prototype for the Nordy line. That's cool with me though. I don't have anything on the bass that I would change anyways. The fit and finish is really spectacular. You can tell that Carey worked on this bass with his meticulous attention to detail.

I threw around the idea of putting an Audere into this preamp, but the passive tone is so great, I don't see a need to.

The specs are like this:

34.5" Scale
Alder Body
Rosewood Board
NJ5F Pickups
Volume/Volume/Tone Control Layout
Two Tone Burst
B/W/B Pickguard
Small Fretwire

For anyone who is considering a Nordy, I can say that you won't be dissapointed in the least.

I only have one pic from Scott at the moment. I'll post more as I'm able to take them.

 

Thanks, man. I really am happy with it. It's a great player.

 

Cool! Scott's played it so it has some mojo on it already!

 

Thanks, bro! I've thought about a tort or black guard. Time will tell. It has the '57 vibe going on now though.

 

Me too. I love the burst/tort combo. It's hard to beat that!

 

This was a prototype model so the price I paid isn't really in relation to what a Nordy would cost that has been ordered new.

Carey has a price sheet listed on his website. You can get an idea of what you want and contact any of the Nordy dealers listed on the site to get an accurate price.

 

Thanks, fellas! I'm quite enamored with it right now.

 

Thanks alot everyone for the kind words. It's a real pleasure to play an instrument of this quality. It just makes things easier.
