DESCRIPTION

The MM5.2 is essentially a 5 string version of the MM4.2. It features all of the same technical aspects of the 4.2, including alnico V magnets and heavy Formvar wire, which is what supplies it with the punch of its powerful low end and dark, scoopy midrange.

This pickup will summon 70s style tone that illustrates the unique, darkened texture of the MusicMan style; and its beefy presence will combat any clank that can sometimes be found in high-end bass frequencies.

The MM5.2 can be wired in series, parallel, or single coil (split-able).

TECHNICAL

  • Hum-canceling split coil 5 string Music Man-type bass pickup.
  • Drop-in replacement MusicMan bass pickup.
  • Alnico V magnets.
  • Laser cut, fiber bobbins.
  • Wax-potted to contain any unruly frequency that may attempt to desecrate your desired tone.
  • 2 Sizes/String Spacings Available: (1) Soap bar shape with no ears and 17.5mm string spacing (works with original Ernie Ball Music Man). (2) Larger shape with ears and 15.25mm string spacing (works with OLP - NOT OLP Tony Levin Signature Model).

WHAT IS THE TONE OF THE NORDSTRAND MM4.2 MUSIC MAN® BASS PICKUP?

One of the most lovable pickups of our MM pickup demos. A very dynamic pickup, that our talent (Andy Dow), remarked how nice it is to play. Great mid range character.

NOTE: The pickup used for this video is the MM4.2, a 4 string pickup. The 5 string size/shape will sound similar, but not exact as they will use a longer magnet. Nordstrand is engineering them to sound as close to each other as possible.

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.
