I'm afraid I am one of the people who was very quickly kicked off TB for questioning the orthodoxy.
My bridge question was about if it was possible to get a black bridge.
Well, I have made three queries on the Nordstrand website, one about the bridge on the original and two about the fretless V2, the first of these was weeks ago, perhaps they don't want my money?
I had one of these, albeit the fretted one, and let me assure you the quality is great. It's a lot of bass for your buck. Were it not 450 miles away I'd be very seriously tempted. GLWTS.
Well here's my 'review' of the Acinonyx. Nordstrand have just released an Acinonyx V2 that comes in a lined fretless version. I have just enquired with Nordstrand about shipping.
