Nordstrand noise cancelling pickups - help choose please...

right from the Nordstrand site:

"
JC-3b - PREWIRED - 3 band bass preamp with volume (pull passive), blend, treble (push/pull neck pickup - series down, parallel up), mids (1kHz down, pull up for 400Hz), bass (push/pull bridge pickup - series down, parallel up)

*The JC-3b preamp is specifically configured to work with the Dual Big BladeMan pickups in a manner that brings out the edgy penetrating mids and high end character so widely recognized as essential to Justin’s iconic tone. We use a 500k volume pot and the common side of the blend pot is left ungrounded. Also, we have trim pots mounted for each pickups that allow one to balance (turn down) the series output to the parallel output. With all of these tweaks, the JC 3 band preamp, when combined with the Dual Big BladeMan pickups provides a rarefied degree of versatility, delivering everything from the mid forward grindy presence of classic JC tone to a super fat, wide, and deep modern sound with loads of punch.

3 Band Preamps

Get that pre-amp & some Big Rig pickups & you're good to go.

If you'd rather stay closer to the Big Single sound, choose another pre-amp & the Big-Splits.
TBH you don't even need a pre-amp when you've got two noise-canceling pickups & a blend knob.
I kind of wish my SR1800E had PTB (passive-treble-bass) controls like a G&L.

 

I'm a huge fan of Big Splits. They are very much like the Big Singles but are a Split coil configuration to eliminate noise. They are my favorite pickup.
