Let us know how do you like 'em 
BTW, you could use a P/P (maybe on the vol pot) and split them for single coil sound!

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Daytona Beach, Fl | | they're wired parallel. i do have two switches installed for series/single coil/parallel choices. the switches are in the control cavity untill i decide if i'm going to be happy with this mod, then i'll drill holes in the bass. there is a 3/32 gap at the neck and bridge side of each pickup routings. this photo will show the gap.  |

How do the Nordstrands sound dirty? |

I have NJ5Fs in one of my basses and totally dig them. I'll be looking to Nordize some more of my basses.

Has anyone done any comparisons between the Bart and the Nordie? I'm considering changing the pups on my 55-01, and am considering either of these. The only clips that I have heard, are the ones in this thread, and I like what I hear, but am still curious about the Barts.
I have previously replaced the MK1 pre with a U-Retro Deluxe, and am wondering what I can expect from either option. |
