Any Nordstrand NJ5FS users out there?

[rojo412]

In a recent bass acquisition, I turned a relatively ho-hum Squier into a freaking MONSTER with a set of Sadowsky HC pickups and an OBP-3. It bumped my better bass out of it's rotation!

That got me thinking about an upgrade for the other bass, which is a Fender American Deluxe Jazz V, J Retro Deluxe already installed.

I am thinking very hard about putting a set of the Nordstrand NJ5FS pickups in there. They seem to be hitting on all of the qualifications that I'd prefer:

1) They'd fit
2) They're noiseless

One thing I am not sure of is how much difference I'd notice. For example, I have no idea what the output is on them. I hear a lot of people professing their love for the Norstrand pickups of all sorts, but nothing specific to this one.
The SCN pickups that come stock in the bass are very nice, but I feel like they lack the aggression of the Sadowsky's, for example. So if I upgrade, I know I want more punch and aggression.

Anyone do this upgrade and have a report?
Any other suggestions that could blow these away?

Short answer: I think you'd like them. They are a slightly modern take on classic J-bass tone, and they really punch through a band mix. Some opinions and analysis are in this thread:

Just slapped Nordstrand NJ5FS in the ASJV. Very interesting.
