| Nordstrand NP4 Review
Sign in to disble this ad
Today I installed anew set of NP4 pickups in my p bass and I wanted to share the results. The bass is an '81 BB400, MIJ and is very good quality (it has the big bridge with the scroll-work on it for those of you in the know.) It is Alder/Rosewood and very tradtionally voiced.
First of all, they replaced a set of Rio Grande Vintage P pups that I liked very much, but I have to say I like the Nordies even better.
The Nordstrands cast a wide net into the sea of tone. They have a strong output across the spectrum, but have an extra bit of booty that many P players will enjoy. I am able to dial in a variety of sounds with my eq and the Nordies translate them all very well through my amp.
What impresses me the most though is the character of the NP4 set. It's not anything i can quantify, but they just have this cool-edginess that I like.
If I can ever figure out how to make Garageband files into mp3s I'l post some clips.
