Nordstrand Fat Stack 6's

[SDB Guitars]

The bobbins measure approximately 25mm x 111mm

I don't have them in front of me, as I'm at work, but I measured them for someone else who was interested in them, and that's what my calipers said...

I have a string width of 18.4mm, will this work?
The rout is 1-3/8: W and 4-3/8" L.
What kinds of woods and finishes can you do.

Are you trying to replace pickups that are already in place? What type of pickups on what type of bass?

The bobbins would definitely fit into those routes, provided the covers were made ot match the previous pickups. The pole pieces line up fairly well if there is ony a .4mm difference at the bridge, I'd think.

I can make covers from nearly any wood, and I can do either a lacquered finish, a oiled/waxed finish, etc. Materials, design and finish are limited only by how much you are willing to pay.

PM at you. I am dressing up a low cost 6er.

I'm jonsing for a Squer Vintage Modified Jazz Bass... I will trade these pickups for a gently used one, either fretted or fretless...

Hello SDB,
Would I be able to use a Hipshot A style bridge with .750 string spacing??? Let me know, thanks...

[SDB Guitars]

depends... are you building from scratch?

The pickups are designed for 18mm spacing, and 0.75" is about 19mm... 18mm = 0.70866", or a difference per string of .04134 however, as strings are spaced closer as they head toward the neck, you might be able to move the pickups just a hair closer to the neck and have them align.

If you are trying to retrofit into a body that's already routed for pickups, then it might not work for you. Most 6-string basses I've seen don't have 0.75" spacing, as that makes for a pretty wide neck.

So, bottom line, they are 1mm closer string spacing than you are looking at on that Hipshot. Hipshot *does* make a Style A bridge with .704" spacing, if you really wanted to use this kind of pickups. Your alternative, if you still want to use Fat Stacks, is to have Nordstrand custom-build you a set designed for 19mm string spacing.
