Bass Wielder Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) These are the Nordstrand dimensions (same a s EMG 45's) Nordstrand DC5 custom set (parallel): These pickups are available in two different versions. One set is designed to be wired in parallel, and the other is designed to be wired 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 wired in series. So, we put less wire on series dual coils than parallel dual coils. 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 generally are a better choice for a split-able installation as there will not be the gain loss associated with series style pickups. [b]NOTES:[/b] [b]The Nordstrand can only be used with 5 string bass (as it has pole pieces). (No extras came with these) Nordstrand are in EMG 45 housing style (4.5" x 1.5"), 2 screw mount, String spacing is 20mm at bridge (make sure your bass can do this width!)[/b] Switching possible (Nords can do single/dual/series/parallel) Pro stuff and incredible. I tried various brands and these were among the best butI needed something specific and settled on another pair so these are not needed. Please read up to get full details on them and hope someone will get to buy/try/use for a lower cost. Asking: £200 posted!! Lets keep this quick and painless boys....
