Nordstand Blades are single coils designed to cancel hum when used in pairs. They're not humbuckers.To use a really painful cliche, that's a negatory on the punk slammin' thing. At my age I'd be more worried about breaking a bone than breaking a guitar
I want to use this bass for chord work - more like classical guitar and maybe even some cello pieces. Last I checked, Andre Segovia and Yo-Yo Ma weren't into thrashso no obligatory body slamming there.
Anyway, kidding aside, I was looking at that Nordstrom Blade J pickup and now that I've been getting such great results from the DiMarzio P-pickup, I may look at their offerings as well.
If you want to lose the hum in a PJ setup, you cannot use a single coil J.
From Nordstrand, you'd want their NJ5S Hum-Cancelling
You could use any Dimarzio 5 string J pickup, they are all humbuckers.
