DESCRIPTION

Although these pickups may appear tiny and totally harmless, the tone that flows from the diminutive bass that serves as their vessel will emerge fat, warm, and practically snarling. Think of all the best characteristics of a P-Bass, carry that image over to the Mustang, snicker in disbelief that such a bass could ever deliver a viable excuse for massive tone—turn the amp on, feel the power, and let your fingers rage with the guilt of not having faith in the NM4’s outrageously provocative punch. The NM4 will provide true-blood vintage tone that simulates all the best aspects of the standard P with an added dimension of darkened mids and an aggressive grind.

The NM4 was created for the sole purpose of providing players with a replacement Mustang pickup. With Nordstrand's proprietary angled pole piece technology, these pickups provide everything you love about Mustangs with — if you can imagine it—additional output and stylistic umph. Given the size of these guys, you simply won’t believe that the tone they emit could stem from such a comparatively microscopic design.

Nordstrand NM4 4 String Mustang® Bass Pickup

I replaced the standard pick up on my Squier classic vibe with the Nordstrand pick up, and I love the quality of sound! Deep bass on the E punchy and bright. Great service at Fat Bass Tone!!

Nordstrand NM4 4 String Mustang® Bass Pickup

Brian and Max,
I recently completed a Mustang Bass build. I'm using a similar pickup (but a larger split P) in a different P bass build. I get compliments on my tone almost every time we play out, so I knew what to expect with this Mustang build. I wasn't disappointed at all. It's hard to believe how much tone and volume emanate fron these tiny pups. Round, full, balanced sound. In both basses I also installed the Tone Drop passive controls. I have several more builds planned, and will stick with this unbeatable combo. I'll attempt to add pics with this review, but if unsuccessful, I will add them to the website separately.
Thank you,
Mike

One fat mustang!!

I replaced the standard pick up on my Squier classic vibe with the Nordstrand pick up, and man it turned this rather simple bass in a little monster. Deep bass on the E (weak on the original) punchy and bright if you want it. Great service from the guys at Fat Bass Tone, thanks Max and Brian!
