Nordstrand Guitars Introduces Dan Lutz Nordy DL vM5 Bass
Nordstrand Guitars has teamed up with bassist Dan Lutz to unveil the Nordy DL vM5. The bass is a take on the company’s Nordy vM5 model that brings together their NP5 and BigMan pickups for a unique configuration.
Similar to the vM5, the DL vM5 is built with either an ash body and maple fingerboard or an alder body with a rosewood fingerboard. Instead of the 2B-MM preamp, the DL version will offer standard 2B and 3B preamps.
Standard features include a 34-inch scale, a 9″ to 14″ compound radius fingerboard, vintage size frets, and Hipshot hardware.
Check out this detailed demo video for a taste of the Nordy DL vM5’s tonal palette:
The Nordstrand Guitars Nordy DL VM5 is available for order now starting at $3,800 for a passive version.

Through my speakers this bass sounds FANTASTIC !
I can’t see anything about this instrument that’s worth 4 grand, especially when everything he says about this bass can be done with a Lakland Skyline for a whole lot less dough.
more or less… but you’re right!
