Nodstrand NP4

I posted this in the Pickups forum but received no comments.

Anyone have any experience with these? Looking to replace the pickups in my American Standard P. Why, you ask? Because they don't sound like a P, to me anyway. Mid-scooped, not really thumpy either. Lots of definition.

What I want is thump but controlled, defined bass. I've had Fralins (undefined bass from E to G but otherwise awesome), Aguilar 60's (very defined, great sounding pickup for recording, not enough THUMP for gigging).

I was about to buy the Geezer but since the Nordstrand NJ4 is my favorite Jazz pickup, I thought I'd ask about the NP4. Any experience?
