talalala Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Selling this passive 5-string bass in glorious fiesta red. One piece maple neck on a swamp ash body. Originally it was made fretless then it was professionally fretted by Blasius Guitars on Hungary. This fact is reflected in the price. In the video I linked, its maker is playing it still as a fretless. Small dents on the headstock. I would trade it for a RW 74 AVRI Jazz Bass preferably in Olympic White. I would consider other trades for classic 4-string Fender or Fender-like basses. Thanks for checking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sterling_76 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) Hi, this former ad with the same or a very similar bass says it has an alder body...? The scale would be 34.5", right? The former ad says 3.6 kg, is that possible? Or how much does yours weight? GLWTS 🙂 Edited August 24, 2020 by sterling_76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The video description on YouTube states that the body is ash. Given that it's been posted from the official account of Nordstrand I would assume it is ash indeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talalala Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share Posted August 24, 2020 Yes, I think it is the same bass. Thanks for asking! Yes, it weighs an incredible 3594 grams on my kitchen scale. A true miracle in a 5-string. Scale is 34' As far as I can tell from the neck pocket (see pics), it is ash, indeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Thanks for your interes, spiritchaser. I'd wait a couple of days or week for cash or 4-string trade offers, but if nothing works out, then yes, I may consider your Stingray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sterling_76 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Alternatively, if you would be interested in an USA Reverend bass for trading with some cash difference your way, feel free to check my ad here 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talalala Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 Thanks, sterling_76. I've always been interested in Reverend basses but since yours is a 5-string, it would have to go (I'm selling the Nordy only because I couldn't get used to the 5-string concept) and I'm afraid I would have a harder time selling it than spiritchaser's MM, especially in Hungary. But thanks for the offer, anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talalala Posted September 18, 2020 Author Share Posted September 18, 2020 I forgot to mention that the balance of this bass is perfect even though it is lightweight. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 How did I miss this? That looks like a lot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talalala Posted November 13, 2020 Author Share Posted November 13, 2020 Well it's been a long time since I posted the ad, so it must have been deep down on the list for a while. Thanks tankwart96 and owen for moving it up again. 🙂 Yes, it is indeed a lot of fun, and I am getting more open for trades. It is still 4 strings primarily, but try me! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
