Product Description

Nordstrand V2 Acinonyx Short Scale Bass available with Free Delivery throughout New Zealand and Australia. Limited supply with next shipment due to reach Tone Merchants in early May 2023.

Nicknamed the “Nordstrand V2 Cat Bass” is a retro, slightly odd, deceptively menacing and freaking cool instrument. Now with three single coil pickups and the addition of a tone control knob. The Nordy Cat V2 is quite a different monster to it’s first incarnation, the V1 Acinonyx Bass.

With all of the playability and phat tone you would expect from a short scale, plus the added fun of the pickup selection switches. You can choose any combination of the three pickups on their own, in conjunction or all together in serries mode for something really special.

Proprietary single coil pickups, no surprise, made in-house by Nordstand Audio. Giving you a wide range of tone shaping options.

Custom Hipshot tuners with a 1 over 3 headstock may seem unusual, but it provides straight string pull while honoring the original aesthetic of the Goya Panther. Hipshot also provide the custom bridge, all in a dull metal finish matching the tuners.
