Morning all, here we have my Mark bass CMD102p 2x10 combo. it is ungigged and as new but isn't being used so I'm moving it on.

Thanks for looking Chris.

It drained a battery very quickly, might have been a dodgy battery but I'd rather be safe than sorry. Still up for sale but won't be able to dispatch until John has checked to make sure he's 100% happy [/quote] Are you going or couriering Barry? if going could you take a couple of snaps of my builds for me? I'm curious to see what my planks of wood look like!

[quote name='Mike' post='919194' date='Aug 9 2010, 12:48 AM']Great seller, great bass. It is nice and light, I used to have some back problems (caused by my Vauxhall Vectra unbelievably) so Jon chose a nice piece of light white ash (I think) for me.[/quote] I've played it and it is a wonderful bass, I have 2 of Jon Shuker's basses with 2 more on the way, a great sounding high quality piece of kit and well worth a punt.

[quote name='antti' post='903568' date='Jul 23 2010, 09:03 PM']I have heard about sex but I am pretty sure this is better? :wub:[/quote] That'll be a pink thing!

[quote name='birdy' post='903359' date='Jul 23 2010, 04:30 PM']Have you considered sending this to Mark at Bass Direct to sell for you? He will obviously want commission on top but he is the Nordy UK dealer and will probably sell this relatively easily for more money than you expect? Just an idea. This bass has to be worth around £1200 second hand, if he sells it for that and you get £1000 everyones a winner! Steve[/quote] True, I've bought quite a bit of stuff off Mark & had thought about a PX deal, he has some really interesting stuff, I'll probably drop in and see him tomorrow and find out the scores on the doors.

[quote name='antti' post='903314' date='Jul 23 2010, 03:58 PM']And this is not a joke. I am still wondering, how it is possible this bass is not already gone with this prize? This really is a good one. There is also one thing in this bass I really like. Only one pickup and vol and tone. First I got an active preamp in my CB. Well, I took it away with all the "extra" knobs and now there is only one Nordstrand left with vol and tone. Thats all I need.[/quote] It is a beautiful bass, but I guess everyone is skint (me included), sign of the times!

[quote name='antti' post='902826' date='Jul 23 2010, 09:08 AM']This kind of custom jazz: [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/27641282@N06/2611418874/"]http://www.flickr.com/photos/27641282@N06/2611418874/[/url] Next to my dear CB [/quote] Nice! what is it? price drop!

[quote name='antti' post='902768' date='Jul 23 2010, 07:04 AM']I got one custom Jazz I must get rid of before even thinking of this little pinkie........... [/quote] ahhh... what kind of custom jazz?

[quote name='antti' post='902258' date='Jul 22 2010, 07:43 PM']WHAT! Still here. Stop playing with my nerves!!!!!![/quote] Ahhh, its fate, it has your name on it and was meant to be....!

[quote name='kevin_lindsay' post='901198' date='Jul 21 2010, 07:24 PM']Hi guys, well, as can be seen from the pics earlier, this bass has the serial number "2". Now, this style - single coil P-Bass is the ONLY one Carey has made so far! The first P-Bass style one he made was a split coil style P-Bass with an added J pickup - that bass was made for Calvin Turner. I'd ordered this bass only a few days after Calvin ordered his one. The neck is chunky, but is you've played the older style P-Basses you'll know that the classic P-Bass tone was founded upon the woody tone you get from such a solid neck. The fretting is simply wonderful, and the rolled edges on the edge of the fingerboard make the bass feel instantly like an "old friend" when you play it. Whoever grabs this bass (and likes full necks) will love this bass!![/quote]Cheers for the info Kevin, so, there you have, something on the rare side! they're not a production model so its not likely that there will be many of these knocking around. Kevin has a point about the sound, it is huge!

[quote name='lozbass' post='901001' date='Jul 21 2010, 03:23 PM']A bump for a gorgeous, hand-built bass and just a few details/responses to issues raised. As far as I know this is the second 'mid 50's style P that Carey's team (all three of them!) has built. The first went to a big name US player if I remember correctly (the information is on Carey's site). I don't know what Kevin paid for the bass originally but with shipping, duty and VAT, I think it was more than double the current asking price. I don't need to tell anybody this, however, the bass is an incredible bargain (a great way in to the world of boutique loveliness at a ridiculoulsy low price). The finish is outstanding - one of the best spray and finish jobs I've seen on a body - perfect and glass-like: very much out of the ordinary. The neck profile seems to be a sticking point. It is chunky buy not uncomfortable. I have medium-sized hands and found that I could get around tehe neck quickly without any problems. Anybody comfortable with a standard P width (and profile) neck is unlikely to struggle with the Nordy. I had the bass for around four weeks - if I can answer any questions, please let me know.[/quote] Cheers for the info Lawrence, according to his original post Kevin paid £1650 + shipping and taxes etc so probably iro double the asking price, expensive but reasonable compared to what the nordy jazzes go for new, the neck is beefy but not dissimilar to a 62 reissue P bass, quite playable and smooth as silk, just the my others are really slim!

[quote name='Skezza' post='900742' date='Jul 21 2010, 09:31 AM']bump[/quote] Worth a bump, great sounding bass this one & Paul is a good bloke to deal with.

[quote name='antti' post='900405' date='Jul 20 2010, 07:42 PM']Well, it really looks like a player to me. I wish I could but an angry wife and two hungry kids is not an option at the moment. But really one bass I wish I could take. And I am not a collector, I am a player too [/quote] If you strike it lucky drop me a line, theres always a deal to be done!

[quote name='antti' post='900264' date='Jul 20 2010, 05:13 PM']That bass is one of the finest I've ever seen. Just WOW! I really love the design of this beauty.[/quote] Yep, this one is a bit of a looker, the colour is a matter of taste but personally I love it, the finish on the Nordy's is also stunning, I can't find anything that is not 100% on it anywhere, and I have looked real close, also sounds damn fine too!

[quote name='Musicman20' post='899153' date='Jul 19 2010, 05:23 PM']I reckon I can dig that neck....Id love this bass if im honest but I told myself no more P type basses. Arghghg[/quote] Ooooh go on, treat yourself, you know it makes sense!

[quote name='AndyTravis' post='899055' date='Jul 19 2010, 03:41 PM']this bass is following me around... i would love it...just £925 short for today.[/quote] Yep, it was a custom build, the serial number is 2 so I'm assuming that there will another somewhere, as far as I'm aware these aren't going to be production models so will probably be quite rare, I don't know what Kevin paid for it originally but I suspect with import duty etc he will have had to shell out a fair bit.

[quote name='Schnozzalee' post='897953' date='Jul 18 2010, 12:08 PM']How is the neck in comparison with something like a stingray/g&l?[/quote] Hi there, to me it feels a tad chunkier than a Ray but there can't be a huge amount in it,it's not uncomfortable with the rolled edges etc, just really chunky! I suppose its the trade off to get the "that sound" which it does very very well, my other basses are Shukers & Jon carves them really slim for me, a matter of taste I suppose.
