Nordy Big Singles, the same as they used for the Premium SR's.

Damn! I really was hoping you WOULDN'T be saying that ('cos that's what it looked like but the BTBs haven't had the Nords for a while)... you probably well know that those Nord big singles are easily (and by some margin!) my favourite pups on Ibby basses.

The replacement 1805 has the 'posher' Aggie pups. If they had the down and dirty Nords I would have been been real tempted to go for one a while back...

Please someone snap this up on the 29th, after all I have managed to go 9 days without getting any new bass gear 😂

Yep, I've heard the Aggie pickup model that replaced the Nordy model. Too hi-fi sounding. Didn't like the sounds coming from (the lower down the range) BTB with the Barts either. I'd rather go with the older BTB Premium, with the Big Singles, than the later one with the Aggie PUPs. I suspect you'd agree if you were to play 'em side-by-side. Have you still got the SR1800 with the Big Singles?

Yup. And you can see exactly what I think about that SR1800 in this thread... I may still be a bit of a fan

I leave the room for 5 minutes and @Al Krow is all over an ibby 😂9 days... looks like that clock might be resetting. 

Lovely bass Clive. 👍🏻
