DESCRIPTION
This set of pickups is everything the title tells you it is: fat, slap-tastic fury from the Power Blade, and an aggressive yet tamable tone from the Big J Blade. If you’re looking for a raw, untamed, and aggressive sound accompanied by a disinhibiting yet friendly mediator, then the NPJ Blade set is right for you.

WHAT IS THE TONE OF THE NORDSTRAND BIG J BLADE (WARM & WOOLY) BASS PICKUP SET?
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.
