Question Nordstrand Pickup Height?

Sign in to disble this ad
Anybody have an idea what a good place to start would be on a pair of 5 string big splits?

I get the impression these have a pretty strong pull, so I'm not sure where they should be.

Thanks!

I'm using Fat Stacks, which I would think are similar to the big splits. I put them really far from the strings. Don't have it with me now but I would say at least 1cm below the strings. Gets me enough output.

bridge:
t side 5-6/64, b side 5/64

Neck:
t side 6-7/64, b side 7-8/64

Every instrument, string style/gauge and especially different right (or left) hand technique, may need a little tweak.
