Got to try the New Nordstrand NP5 pickup

[stoopidcooper]

Woah guys theirs no prototype about it, its an nj5s. The e designator on the end of the Nj4se is simply the wire type, e for enamel, and v for the the more vintage type wire. Carey can correct me if I'm wrong but I believe they (nj5s) is ready to go.

I spoke to Carey about these pickups and IIRC, the NJ5S is a Stacked Humcanceller and the newer one he's working on is a side-by-side Humcanceller.

...and more precisely, NJ5st (stacked). The new coming one are more probably going to be called NJ5S (spilt coil). They're pretty much the same as the NJ5FS (fender size, spilt coil) but in the 3,73" size....

Carey correct me if I'm telling bs

'nice evening

But Carey is working on an NJ5SE.

With this news I now have the complete set of p/u options for my soon to be unveiled bass offerings:

4- string basses:
NP-4
NP-4 / MM4.4 (parallel/solo/series)
NP-4 / NJ4SE
NJ4SE / MM4.4 (parallel/solo/series)
NJ4SE / NJ4SE

5- string basses:
NP-5
NP-5 / MM5.4 (parallel/solo/series)
NP-5 / NJ5SE
NJ5SE / MM5.4 (parallel/solo/series)
NJ5SE / NJ5SE

What more could anyone wish for?

All the best,

R

Nordie Big Singles, Dual Coils, and Fat Stacks - of course!

Ok, since my trusty employee said we've got an NJ5S ready to go I decided it was time to finally get them done and tested. So, they're going into the trusty test bass today and I should be able to report later if they're good to go. They have the same wind and wire as the NJ5FS so they should sound almost identical.
Just to be clear about my model names:
N = Nordstrand (or new, I'm not really sure)
J = Jazz style bass
5 = number of strings
S = Split
St = Stack
If it's intended as a retrofit for a Fender we add an "F" after the string designation.

For the four string models we have these suffixes after the string number:
SE = Split Enamel
SV = Split Vintage

HAHA, I was right!!!!

that would be incredible!

 

[maurilio]

HAHA, I was right!!!!

...almost!

So, any news on these EMG40 size pickup replacements?

 

[pc]

Is there any possibility of an EMG45 replacement

 

[Funky Doctor]

Yay? Nay?

 

[Carey]

I've ordered the 40 size covers. I should have something available in a month or so.
The 45 size covers will have to wait until I can afford to invest in yet another of the multitude of soapbar bass pickup shapes...

 

[Funky Doctor]

That is so damn cool. I am about to receive a bass with EMG40's in it (not sure what they are... DC's maybe). So I take it they will be the signature dual coils? I would be more than happy to try some out...

 

[Chef]

Nino, what's the bridge pup here?
How is the bass wired? All passive, or?
Could this be done with 2 stacked pots?
Scale length?
If it's 34", Carey advised me to install the P5 pup reversed to get the B string poles closer to the bridge for more B string clarity and definition.
Pretty curious about all this as it looks like the direction I'm headed for my '51 P5 project...

thanks-chef

Once again Nordies rule! One day... nordstrand will rule the world. It's just a given fact! I almost bought some Nordies NP4 pups. But they would have cost more than my bass I'm modding
Sexy looking pups.

Hey Nino,
I like the look of your bass an instrument you don't ever see.I bet it plays and sounds great.
How do you post a picture on this forum.I'd like to show off my Moon JB5, which is also a bass you don't see much.
Thanks
