Nordstrand vs Fralin P Pickups

jenderfazz · #1 03-15-2007, 10:18 PM

I've almost narrowed my choice to one of these fine pickups... almost. It's not too late to suggest anything else, but anyways...

Has anyone tried both in similar basses and had a comparison to make?

I'm thinking a bit more clarity and growl than stock. I'm not looking for the Motown sound, I play with the tone up most of the time and a pick within my grasp.

Any help?

Cant comment on the nords, but I have a fralin which does the grinding pick w/rounds and the thumpy motown with flats. I think most good Ps will do this.

Check the search, as I swear one of the stores (blueberry hill) did a comparison in a blog.

I did do a blog entry on the general differences between the two pickups lines, but I have also discussed these two models in exceptional detail in this forum over the course of the last year or two. A lot of other TBers have also posted a good number of detailed comments and reviews, so there is a LOT of great information out there that the search function will pull up.
