bubinga5 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 This could be really old news, but am I right in saying Carey is no longer making instruments. Concentrating on Nordstrand Audio etc.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CameronJ Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 (edited) Yeah I believe he’s winding down production of custom shop basses, although he’s soon to launch his new Acinonyx basses inspired by the Goya Panther bass. If I recall, they’re going to be manufactured offshore (Indonesia?) so although he’s been putting a tremendous amount of time into R&D for the bass, once the design is complete there will be very little actual bass building taking place at Nordstrand HQ. He’s also just opened a restaurant called Ramen Song which is presumably taking up a good chunk of his time.

AndyTravis Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 He’s recently made a batch of Nordy P4’s and every time I see the updates I get an itchy finger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 think this with a black guard and a subtle amber Hue all over would do me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CameronJ Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 He’s made a couple of shoreline gold Ps (one of which he’s personally keeping) which just look unreal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cato Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 (edited) I was really liking the look of that Acinonyx bass until I realised that there are a load of tone push switches right underneath where my right hand/wrist would be if I was playing it.

grayn Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I'm a big fan of Nordstrand pickups, especially the Big Single but that bass in the video looks like some 60s bass from the Far East. Real fugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopthebass Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I don't like anything about that bass. No mention of a five string too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real fugly. Not far off, it’s a copy of a 60s bass from Italy I believe. It’s definitely an acquired taste but the original Goya Panther basses this is a homage to are gaining cult status thanks to Janek Gwizdala and Juan Alderete. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 The P4s he’s been making look stunning, around $4200 I think though, clearly they sell in small batches, so good on Carey, but too rich for me. Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
