skej21 Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) Interesting that it’s $799 (£636) shipped in the US but £850 special offer, normally £899 in the UK. Normally a premium added on for imports but this is basically just what you would pay if you were getting it here yourself! Edited July 16, 2020 by skej21 Quote

Yes, did think pricing seemed a bit off, but didn't go back and check or crunch the numbers. That's pretty steep. Quote
Lee-Man Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) Courier cost, handling fee, vat and import duty and your looking at The RRP in the UK. Also not sure $799 would be + local sales tax. Edited July 16, 2020 by Lee-Man Quote

Actually, thinking about it a bit more, if Nordstrand are only selling direct in the US (i.e. no retailer/distributor cut) then they may not have a huge margin to cut the price on exports, and Bass Direct do need to make some money, so may be a fair deal after all. Still doesn't detract from it being the first bass I have gassed after since getting my Shuker in 2012 Quote

I imported some basses back when it was over two dollars to the pound. That was was some GAS fulfilled 😂 Quote

This is the point i was making Based on the direct US price of $799, you'd expect the RRP to be £1000-1150 to cover everyone's margin and costs etc. Really impressed that it is so reasonable, landed in the UK!

acidbass Posted July 18, 2020 Posted July 18, 2020 Disappointed that Mark isn't including the Nordy Mute with his Acinoynx basses. One comes free with every instrument of the initial Nordstrand batch. 1 Quote

CameronJ Posted July 19, 2020 Posted July 19, 2020 It’s also quite possible that the mutes only apply to basses bought direct from Nordstrand. 1 Quote

lawriemacmillan Posted September 18, 2020 Posted September 18, 2020 (edited) Mine arrived last weekend, with a Nordy Mute. I'm 6'4 and have a preference for large bodied wide neck basses, but plugging this in is pretty inspiring. The push button tone controls and pickup selector switches are a lot of fun, and for a super light passive shortscale bass, the 'series' mode is like adding a sub speaker Edited September 18, 2020 by lawriemacmillan 12 Quote
