It was me assuming too much, I really wanted these in my bass :-( Tony

I bought these very recently, didn't check the size of the p/ups they were replacing then found out these don't fit! These look brand new, but are used Dual coil p/ups, made by Nordstrand, very highly rated and around £260 / pair From Nordstrand... This is a modern design dual coil humbucking pickup. Pickups like these are usually found on very high end basses. They use Alnico V magnets and the traditional bi-pole layout with two poles per string. It's almost like two Jazz Bass® style pickups in one cover. These pickups are available in two different versions. One set is designed to be wired in parallel, and the other in series. The reason we do this is that a pickup that is made to sound good wired parallel will usually be too hot and dark sounding if wires in series. So, we put less wire on a series dual coil than a parallel dual coil. In general, a pickup wired in series will have a fuller and fatter midrange with a subdued high end than a pickup wired in parallel, which will typically have more highs and a deeper low end with a cleaner midrange. Series pickups also have more output than parallel pickups. Parallel pickups are generally a better choice for a split-able installation, as there will not be the gain loss associated with series pickups. These pickups are available only in black plastic covers with exposed pole pieces. These are a direct replacement for Bartolini BC, P2, P4 soapbar size pickups, and are also available for EMG 35/40/45 sized pickups. Will update with sizes soon Be quick cos I may use these in a project bass £130 posted Tony

Just took this out of my Sei It's a Bartolini 3 band pre on a Jazz plate It's not hard wired to anything so could easily be fitted into another bass without the plate The pot layout is as follows, Volume, blend, Mid, stacked bass and treble The volume pot is push/pull for the LED's on my sei and there are two coil selector switches. One for each pick up and 3 way for each coil and both together The grey cable you can see in the photo's is for the jack, the power cables are easily seen, pick ups connect to the switches, but these could be removed and p/ups wired direct to the pre, I'm not sure about the wiring on the switches, but I suspect the details are out there on the www In the photo's, the plate looks a bit crap, this is just off my fingers, it's in good looking order and the pre amp was working fine without any issues prior to be removed from the bass £50 posted ?

sold, pending the usual Tony

Sorry to highjack your thread Comno! What clours yours Mr Kiwi? I'm on red, do prefer the blue though! That bridge looks pretty fixed to me, not sure what 3D bridge looks like, will have to check mine T

same as mine but in blue, great sounding bass, I would assume 17mm string spacing with these p/ups? Tony

Wow, stunning bass, I didn't expect to see this for sale, I have the same problem, it's missing a string, otherwise I may have sold a kidney!! Tony
