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.
Check Out the Acinonix
...top notch sound quality with a simple accessible feature set with clear and easy to use controls
...bleed tuneful timbre that resonates between the throaty presence of the NP4 and the pleasant high end of the NJ4
“Cat Bass just won a shoot out. Just letting you know...Beat a Casady, vintage Gretch and trusted P bass.”
– Michael Rhodes
“I was hesitant about adding another piece of gear to my rig...and certainly not another DI. But after 10 minutes with the Starlifter,I was hooked!”
– Dan Lutz
