fleabag Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) Does anyone know how to visually ID a set of Nordstrands ( a P & J ) I've found a Retrovibe Aero 1 ( or is it 2 ) bass which the owner says was ugraded with a P & J set of Nordy's but since he didnt do this himself, he doesnt know which they are. He has no problem with me going to see the bass, no obligation AFAIK, there's the standard NJ/NP4 set , the SV4 set and the SE4 set ... is that correct ? But do they look just like any other J & P pups ? I mean, how can you tell that someone has really fitted a set of these Nordys ?

Machines Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I had some and the pickup casing wad rounded and a matt/satin finish. Of course they can be put in the old covers still ! Also I remember tidy twisted wiring. I have the box still so can let upload a pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 Thanks Mac - a pic would be handy. I would need to take the covers off, even if Nordy was stamped on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazed Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I believe I have a set of j type nordstrands but they don't have any specific stamps or markings to say they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 (edited) I guess anyone could say they've upgraded their pups for Nordys. The only vague ID could be the black & white pup wires, but then the original pups could have had the same for all i know. I just googled and found this thread [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/156074-retrovibe-aero-1-and-sold/"]http://basschat.co.u...ero-1-and-sold/[/url] and according to Tom, the originals are fine, so it probably doesnt matter Edited November 9, 2013 by fleabag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 Well it turned out to be a minter , with quite a nice tone. Could be that the pups were changed, but there's no telling. Sounds fine anyways - its shop condition, not a blemish.
