Nordstrand NJ4
single coil 4 string jazz-type bass pickupsThis is a vintage single coil J style pickup made with 60's era
correct Heavy Formvar wire and Alnico V magnets. In winding these
pickups we use a simulated hand wound pattern that lowers the resonant
peak of the pickup resulting in a pleasing yet present high end. These
pickups have a very even and full sound with that snap and grind
associated with the classic basses of that time. Includes black covers
(exposed pole pieces).

Nordstrand NJ4SV
humbucking split coil 4 string jazz-type bass pickupsThese are a split coil hum canceling design. This pickup is designed
to have a tone as close as possible to the NJ4 single coils. They have
a similar clarity and bottom, and have a good clean growl with the same
interactive quality that all our alnico pickups are known to have. They
are also totally humcancelling, and great for commonly noisy live
situations.

Nordstrand NJ4SE
humbucking split coil 4 string jazz-type bass pickups
These are a split coil hum cancelling design. They use the same hand
wound pattern found on our NJ4's but with a finer wire called 43 gauge
enamel. The natural character of this design is to have a more
pronounced lower midrange, and a slightly muted high end. This makes
them exceptionally suited to fingerstyle players who are going for a
solo bridge pickup sound with good "bark" and "heft." They are also
totally humcancelling, and great for commonly noisy live situations.

Man® basses that are so widely coveted. Includes black cover (exposed
pole pieces).

tone—punchy, growly, and fat. Includes black cover (exposed pole
pieces).

A 5 string version of the otherwise identical MM4.2, itself an
accurate reproduction of an early pre-Ernie Ball® pickup. It features
Alnico V magnets and heavy Formvar wire for an authentic punchy,
growly, and inherently fat tone. The MM5.2 is a dual coil pickup that
can be wired series, parallel, or single coil (split-able). Includes
black cover (exposed pole pieces).
The industry never really
adapted a standard for this style of pickup, and as a result we have at
least 3 different spacing and cover combinations:
- Soap-bar shape with no ears and narrow spacing.
These have a rectangular cover and narrow spacing that will work on
original MusicMan® five string basses.
- Larger shape with ears and wide spacing. These will fit Lakland® and other basses with wider spacing.
- Larger shape with ears and narrow spacing. These will fit OLP® and other basses with narrow spacing.

Nordstrand MM5.3
humbucking (triple coil) 5 string Music Man®-type bass pickups
The MM5.3 is the 5 string version of the MM4.3 and also utilizes a
dummy coil on the bottom to achieve a silent single coil mode. Like the
other pickups in this series, the MM5.3 features Alnico V magnets and
Heavy Formvar wire for an authentic early pre-Ernie Ball® tone—punch,
growly, and fat. Includes black cover (exposed pole pieces).
Spacings
are available as described for the MM5.2. But, please make sure your
bass has a deep enough rout, or take it to a qualified tech that can do
such a modification if necessary.

Nordstrand Dual Coils
humbucking 4/5/6 string bass pickups
This is a modern design dual coil humbucking pickup. Pickups like
these are usually found on very high end basses. They use Alnico V
magnets and the traditional bi-pole layout with two poles per string.
It's almost like two Jazz Bass® stlye pickups in one cover.
These
pickups are available in two different versions. One set is designed to
be wired in parallel, and the other in series. The reason we do this is
that a pickup that is made to sound good wired parallel will usually be
too hot and dark sounding if wires in series. So, we put less wire on a
series dual coil than a parallel dual coil.
In general, a
pickup wired in series will have a fuller and fatter midrange with a
subdued high end than a pickup wired in parallel, which will typically
have more highs and a deeper low end with a cleaner midrange. Series
pickups also have more output than parallel pickups. Parallel pickups
are generally a better choice for a split-able installation, as there
will not be the gain loss associated with series pickups.
These pickups are available only in black plastic covers with exposed pole pieces.
These
pickups will fit as replacements for Bartolini™ P2 (5 string) and BC (4
string) pickups. Dimensions are 4.25" by 1.25" and 3.95" by 1.25"
respectively. Standard spacing is 19mm ctc at the bridge.

Nordstrand Fat Stacks
stacked humbucking 4/5/6 string bass pickupsThese are a proprietary Nordstrand design. The traditional bi-pole
magnet layout was, literally, twisted in a new direction. By rotating
the pole 45 degrees for each set we have increased the size of the
traditional J style coil by 50%, making it wider, or "fatter". This
results in a larger aperature, which captures more harmonic content
from the string, resulting in a "fatter" tone. These pickups have a
tone reminiscent of a J style single coil, but they are bigger and
bolder. Full range and a present but pleasant high end response. These
pickups have a great deal of midrange detail and fullness. Due to the
naturally lower output of this design, these pickups can sometimes
benefit from a pre-amp with 3 or more db of gain.
These
pickups are shipped with three conductor wire for a split-able
installation. When the third lead is shorted to ground only the top
coil will remain active for a louder, more aggressive and mean version
of the fat tone these pickups deliver (albeit with 60 cycle noise that
single coils inherently possess). Think of it as a turbo charger for
tone!
These pickups will fit as replacements for Bartolini™ P2 (5
string) and BC (4 string) pickups. Dimensions are 4.25" by 1.25" and
3.95" by 1.25" respectively. Standard spacing is 19mm ctc at the bridge.

Nordstrand Big Singles
single coil 4/5/6 string bass pickupsThese pickups are all about huge, full, loud, aggressive single coil
tone. They use the same magnet layout as the Fat Stack, and the
resultantly big coil is about as much single coil pickup that can be
packaged in a soap-bar cover. This is the ultimate pickup for the Jazz
Bass®-on-steroids tone purist! These pickups will fit as replacements
for Bartolini™ P2 (5 string) and BC (4 string) pickups. Dimensions are
4.25" by 1.25" and 3.95" by 1.25" respectively. Standard spacing is
19mm ctc at the bridge.
