These pickups are hands down the tonal giants of Nordstrand's bass pickup arsenal. The player should expect to wrestle with the repercussions of this pickup's roaring aggression and bludgeoning bawl of extreme sonic salubrity.
The Big Single is a single coil pickup packed into a soapbar cover that can hardly contain the force of their fuzz facilitating, flesh flogging flock of fibrillating inflection.
These pickups use the same large magnet load as Nordstrand's hum-canceling Fat Stack; however, without the extra stacked coil found in the FS, the Big Single's wind is able to take up the entire space of its bobbin, resulting in a super packed coil that works as the distributor of the monster tone these pickups have come to be known for.
