SOLD Nordy VJ4

For Sale Only - 2009 Nordy VJ4 #180 in excellent condition.

$1700 plus $50 shipped to east coast.

A true unicorn bass, as most of Carey's jazz basses are 5 stringers with preamps, so this is a rare beauty indeed.
A tiny finish crack by one of the neck pockets is the only blemish I can find.

Specs - Unchambered ash body, one piece maple neck - no graphite rods (according to Aaron at Nordstrand), birdseye maple board, Nordy Big Singles (V/V/T) vintage frets.
Weight is 8 lbs, super low action - no fret buzz, Hipshot Tuners/Bridge.
Nut width pictured. I’d say 1 9/16 - 1 5/8” .
Nut width not listed on spec sheet.
(See original spec sheet in photo)

Mike Lull did a set-up with full electrostatic shielding, as well as fixing minor fret sprouts. The grounding was a mess too, apparently. I'm about $300 into this bass.

Carey is only doing special orders now, and it's almost always a P-bass.
These VJ4's are ultra rare - especially ones that have never been modified.
The build of Carey's basses is second to none, and his unmodified VJ4's are becoming nearly impossible to find - especially in this remarkable condition.

This one had both an electrostatic shielding and set-up done by Mike Lull - it didn't need a plek because......Carey.
Comes with the original brown tort guard, as well as a black/cream/black 3 ply guard (pictured).
Ships in generic hard case to Continental US only.

This bass is hanging out in a case - waiting for a fellow TB'er who knows how great Carey's work is.
