From Carey: Hey everyone. I’ve got a pretty special NJ4 from 2003(!!!) that I’m selling for the wife of the man that ordered it from me way back then. He unfortunately passed away suddenly a few years ago and she wants this bass to go to a good home. It’s got an alder body, walnut top, Macassar ebony on wenge neck, and a hand cut N logo inlay. This was made in my garage shop in Yucaipa and I did all the finish work on these early basses. The pickups are Fat Stacks under Macassar ebony covers. It’s got 2 volumes and 2 tones. It also comes with an extremely cool and rare Mooradian gig bag. These were special made for me in the green color and I even had them do plush lining on the insides. Man I wish I could still get these. Anyway if you got $4500 and you want to give this bass(and bag) a good home hit me up. Thanks 🙏🏻
