Product Description
The Nordstrand Jazz Bass NJ5 Single Coil Pickup set. FREE shipping anywhere in the USA!These are the same as the Nordstrand NJ4 pickups - just made for a 5 string bass. They feature the same vintage single coil J style pickups 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. This set includes the two single coil pickups and black covers (exposed pole pieces).

Check out Nordstrands' "Builders & Players" link for a current list of examples. We think Nordstrand is a company that will grow in popularity and size for a number of reasons:
