TRADITIONAL PICKUPS


Nordstrand NJ4 - Single coil 4 string jazz-type bass pickups


        This 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).

NJ4 - pair             £120.00

NJ4 - single          £65.00


Nordstrand NJ4SV - Humbucking split coil 4 string jazz-type bass pickups


        These are a split coil hum cancelling 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.

NJ4SV - pair        £170.00

NJ4SV - Single     £90.00


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 finger style 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.

NJ4SE - pair        £170.00

NJ4SE - Single     £90.00


Nordstrand NJ5 - Single coil 5 string jazz-type bass pickups - Review on NJ5 HERE


Five string single coil pickups in the same style as the NJ4. Featuring Alnico V magnets and the same winding pattern as the four, these are very fat sounding with plenty of growl and bark. Includes closed black covers.

NJ5 - pair             £140.00

NJ5 - single          £75.00


Nordstrand NJ5F - Single coil 5 string jazz-type bass pickups

       

These are Fender Jazz 5® replacement pickups. They will fit into your existing covers and make your 5 string come to life. They are based on the same formula that makes my NJ4 pickups sound so good: Alnico V magnets and Heavy Formvar 42 gauge wire wound in a simulated hand pattern. They have a nice growly bridge pickup tone, a big full neck pickup tone and a huge deep earth shaking tone with both pickups on. They will definitely make your bass sound better! These also fit Lakland® Joe Osborn 5 (US and Skyline versions).

NJ5F - pair           £140.00

NJ5F - single        £75.00


Nordstrand NJ5S - Split coil 5 string jazz-type bass pickups


These are a split coil hum cancelling design of the NJ5. This pickup is designed to have a tone as close as possible to a true single coil. 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. Bring your bass to life with these great silent J pickups.
