AWESOME OLD SCHOOL VIBE
PROFESSIONALLY SETUP IN THE NORDSTRAND SHOP
EXTREMEMLY FUN SHORT SCALE
BASED OFF THE GOYA PANTHER
LIMITED SUPPLY
Lovingly nicknamed the "Cat Bass” in the Nordstrand 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. Tone choices are available with a push of a button. Go “All In” by punching all of the buttons at once, which puts the pickups in series mode resulting in a a loud, thick, and punchy tone. The 1 over 3 headstock may seem unusual, but it provides straight string pull while honoring the original aesthetic of the Goya Panther.
Inspired by Juan Alderete, reimagined by Carey Nordstrand, the Acinonyx (genus for Cheetah) is a well thought out, modern reinterpretation of the Goya Panther. Carey sorted out the design flaws of the Goya with the problem solving prowess for which he is known. String pull, switch assignments sorted out, Carey developed this bass with ease of tone selection and overall playability in mind, but the ultimate goal is for the bass to be as fun to play as driving a race car.
If you live in New England, USA, consider saving shipping costs by picking up the bass at our shop in Wells, ME. *By appointment only.
