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).

This pickup is available with an alternative "70's wind" featuring enamel wire and a more aggressive tone

NJ4 - pair             £140.00 + £7 UK mainland shipping

NJ4 - single          £70.00


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        £200.00 + £7 UK mainland shipping

NJ4SV - Single     £100.00


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        £200.00 + £7 UK mainland shipping

NJ4SE - Single     £100.00


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             £170.00

NJ5 - single          £85.00


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           £170.00

NJ5F - single        £85.00


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.
