At Nordstrand Audio, we offer GUITAR Pickups, BASS Pickups, BASS Preamps, PEDALS and now the Acinonyx Short Scale Bass, as well as a full repair and mod shop! Founded by respected instrument and electronics designer/builder (and all around mad scientist) Carey Nordstrand in 2005, Nordstrand Audio offers innovative designs rooted in traditional tried-and-true methods and materials.
Lovingly nicknamed the “Cat Bass” in the workshop, The Acinonyx is an insanely cool, somewhat weird, and deceptively menacing instrument. This bass has all of the playability and phat tone you would expect from a short scale, plus the added fun of the tone control switches.

“Ever since I first put a set of Fat Stacks in one of my basses years ago I’ve been totally in love! Right out of the box they give me the tone I’m looking for and they can easily fit into any of the wide variety of styles that I need to play. It’s the only pickup you’ll ever need!” —Alex Weber
