Big J Blade 5 Set W&W Fender
DYNAMIC & WARM
CONTINUOUS SENSING BLADE
BIG SINGLE COIL TONE
AVAILABLE IN MULTIPLE SIZES
SOLD AS A SET
In order to provide players with a choice in tone, this pickup is offered with either a “warm and wooly” or “clean and clear” wind. As you might have guessed, the names of these winds denote the tone which they have been designed to facilitate. Just as has been demonstrated by our Big Blades, this pickup’s stylish, mean looking blade piece makes sure that each string’s output is accounted for.
These pickups are an innovative application to the jazz-style pickup using the solutions excavated through discovering the secrets of the Big Blade. Their aesthetic elements reflect the groundbreaking development of signature Nordstrand blade tone. These pickups are the weapon of choice for the war-time jazz player—the funk master that has all but ten seconds to shred his way to infinity before his bass based pride is compromised by an opponent of lesser tone—and have been rendered as such in order to supply the player with a diversifying sound that is broken down even further by its dual choice in winds.

The warm & wooly version of Nordstrand’s Big J Blade, has a thicker top and bottom than most pickups that we have tested. The thick lows are powerful. Top end has a bit of a roll off.

Definitely a similar flavor to the Warm & Wooly pickups, in the aggressive nature of the pickups. Less low end warmth. Truly a cleaner/clearer version of the WW version. Nice snap, bridge pickup is big with lots of upper mids.

I bought these to replace the original J pickups in a 2005 Lull bass. It's hard to know exactly what you're getting based on samples and product specs/descriptions. But I have to say that the description was spot on and thanks to Fat Bass Tone for providing demo videos. I'm very happy with the way the bass turned out.
The Nordstrand 5 String Big J Blade 5 worked precisely and sounded amazing.
I used with the IPA pre.
Nordstrand 5 String Big J Blade 5 Single Coil Jazz Bass® Pickups
Exactly was I was looking for. The pickups in my Fender HM-5 were great but lacked the mid range I was looking for. These are perfect for what I want to use them for. I have them in the Bridge and Middle position. I play a wide variety of music and I now have a bass that I feel can do it all. The people at Fat Bass Tone are very nice and also very knowledgeable. Call them. They will get you what you need!
