Details

Hi guys...
I am letting go my Nordstrand custom 4 string. It has the famous "Adrian Garcia" shape. It is MINT. It has:

northern ash body
INSANE amboyna burl top..breathtaking!!
3 piece flamed quartersawn maple neck
Jazz bass neck specs
busy birdseye maple board
white pearl block inlays!!
Big Single pickups
chrome hipshot hardware
Aguilar 3 band pre
nice gig bag

This bass is special because:
1) It is a one off...Carey won't do any more of these now that Adrian is gone..one of a kind body style
2) It's a custom, not a Nordy...not many of these around.
3) It's 100% MINT.
4) It looks INSANE in person...check out the pics!
5) It sounds incredible!!!!

I am asking 2800$, YES, EVEN IN THIS ECONOMY. If it doesn't sell, I don't care. Please don't send low-ball offers. This bass is rare, and would be incredibly expensive to reproduce, even if Carey would build you one, which he won't. I am not really looking to trade, unless it's something equally cool, like a Fodera, Ken Smith, Sadowsky NYC or F bass 4 string, a Ken Lawrence 4 string, etc. Not looking for 5s at all. If you have a Fodera, let's talk. Other than that, it's 28 Benjamins.

Here is a pic of it, pre-assembly.

Thanks,

34" scale. I just brought the bass outside in the natural sunlight. DAMN is that amboyna intense!! REALLY busy figuring!


I am still on the fence about this one. I might keep it....but I talked to Carey about another custom build for me, and the $ I'd get for this bass would pay for it. But, I have to say, out of the well over 125+ custom high end basses I've owned in the last several years, this one is at the top of the heap.


I know there's another Nordstrand custom for sale right now that's a bit cheaper, but it (in ALL respect) doesn't have the same level of exotic woods, as well as the "AG" shape, which, to my eyes, is a cooler body shape. But, a custom Nordstrand is truly one of the finest basses you can buy today, period. Except...you can't get one today unless it's used, and this one is 100% flawless! I think both of these will be gone within a few days.
