M | Sorry but I have several that are not. But they are all the 'big' type, Fatstacks, Big splits, and DC'c. Not potted.

You are confusing the two things. We don't epoxy our pups.... |

With Fender pups the wax is obvious. Can't see it in my Nords. Here's one of my Big Splits. My Fat Stacks are the same. Can't take the covers off my DC's though, so I don't know.
Anyway it doesn't seem to matter-they sound great.

Nope, that's not me. My main job at Nords is to assemble the instruments, fret dressing, electronics, repairs, setups, mods, but not pups.
keep us posted....
