Dan Lutz Signature Nordy DL vM5

Dan Lutz is one of LA’s finest and busiest bassists.

Dan is versed in all genres of music and plays electric and double bass equally fierce. Lutz is the musical director for Jonathan Butler, and has upcoming shows overseas with both Butler and Oleta Adams.

Dan Lutz recently received his new Nordy vM5 and he couldn’t be happier with the results. Lutz’s new bass was a collaboration between Dan and Carey Nordstrand. Dan wanted a super versatile bass with a pickup configuration that had never been done before… and the results are monster tone with incredible sonic versatility!!

Dan Lutz’s new bass has a Nordy Big Man pickup in the MM position and an nP5 in the P position and the controls allow any and all pickup combinations. It also has the famous Nordstrand 3b preamp.

Dan commented on his new Nordy DL vM5 on his Facebook page:

“Put it on a strap… stood up… balance is perfect. The PBass tone is amazing, and changes quite drastically depending on the placement of your right hand. The BigMan alone is so strong and round with a great attack and smoothness. Splitting the coils brings out different shades and colors, opening up the bass and revealing it’s wide-reaching tone palate. With both pickups together, it’s such a unique and big tone… The bass feels like a smooth tree- like something from the earth- made by mother nature… an incredible example of the finest of Luthiery. It sings, it punches, it growls all while retaining a very natural, traditional and “organic” voice. It’s concept is rooted in tradition and functionality, but in totality it’s a unique sonic monster that will shine in any musical environment. I expect the DL VM 5 to give so many bassists their answer.”
