String Spread over a Slanted Pickup (Multiscale Question)

[MovinTarget]

Nordstrand segments the rail of their Blade series pickups mostly for cosmetics. Inside the housing each coil spans the full breadth of the strings.

good to know, I just thought the steel bar being irregular like that might affect response between segments.

The gaps are too small to matter.

I won't think badly of anybody who would have a problem with mismatched numbers of segments and strings, though. When you're paying extra money to modify a bass or build something custom, details like this can feel like cheapening the effort.
