    Nordstrand NP5F vs. NP5FA (or other 5 string P bass pickups)?

    Just got a Fender P 5 string and am looking into after market pickups. Seems like the Nordstrands are well liked. 1. Has anyone been able to compare their NP5F model to their NP5FA model (listed here)? 2. Or, are there any other 5 string P bass pickups you’d recommend?
