Hey everyone, I am debating about having Tom Clement build me a Bass and am having a hard time deciding which pickups to get. For my pickups I really like the MM style pickups. Nordstrand the brand that I am looking into has a triplecoil and a quadcoil design and I really don't know the difference between the two. Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks ~ James
It's just two different ways to get a single coil tone with no hum.
The triple coil uses a dummy coil, and the quad coil splits the two halves like a P bass. The quad coil might have a stronger tone when in split mode than the dummy coil setup, but it depends on the design on the pickup.

the triple coil is really just designed to be an Ernie Ball replacement while the quad coil can be wired into a few different configurations. the quad is also less expensive.

I would recomend the Quad coil design over the triple coil....A little more versitile & dead quiet in single coil operation....For some, more options are bad. For me, though.....I like having options. Check out Delano too.
