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 soap-bar cover that can hardly contain the force 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.
Size:
4.27” [108.46 mm] Long
1.27” [32.36 mm] Wide
These single coil pickups from Nordstrand Audio are very balanced and sound great. They have a punch like a single coil J bass pickup, but with a little more width and warmth. They have a slightly rolled off top end, and are a tight sounding pickup, with just a hint of darkness.
Put on a good set of headphones and check out the audio demo below to hear it for yourself.
As always, keep in mind that these are generalizations. Your experience could be different depending on many factors.
super beefy jazz pickups - almost between a rickenbacker & fender jazz tone. delightfully articulate, but still thick when needed!
powerful & sensitive
I put these in my custom bass. They were very full sounding. More vintage sounding than I would have liked. I desired something with more “bite”. If you are intake the big warm vintage tone, then these will suit you well. I wanted more of a slap happy fix.
I have always loved single coils pickups. They produce such a raw and pure tone that you could never get put of humbuckers. These pickups are no exception. Absolutely amazing and makes my bass sing in a gnarly and beautiful way. Any bass I get from here on out that uses any of the soapbar shape pickups will be getting these in them!
