5 string Pbass Pickups/Covers - Nordstrand Compatibility

[Brad Easley]

Anybody know of 5 string Pbass pickups and/or pickup covers that are the same size as Nordstrand NP5 but with non-angled pole pieces?

Picture of Nordstrands for reference. Both sides same size, not asymmetrical like the Fender 5 string pbass pickup.

FYI, the pickup housings are the standard size for 4 string P pickups. I know this because they made a set for my Carvin the had a different string position, so they used a regular NP4A for half of the pickup.
Have you asked Nordstrand if they’ll make a set like that, with the non angled pole pieces? They’re pretty good with custom jobs. But my thinking is they do this because the pole pieces won’t fit with regular P spacing.

Actually, I stand corrected. Here’s the Aguilar that I think does what you want.

Well I'll be darned, they are the same size. I didn't even think to check, just assumed they were wider. Just measured my 4 and 5 and they both 2.25" wide. This is tremendously helpful!
