stevie Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 (edited) [u][b]NORDSTRAND MM 4.2 FOR SALE[/b][/u] -- THIS ONE NOW SOLD! [url="http://www.nordstrandguitars.com/pickups.htm"]http://www.nordstrandguitars.com/pickups.htm[/url] Now that my Vintage Musicman copy is sold, I have a Nordstrand Musicman replacement pickup for sale. The manufacturer says: "This pickup is an accurate reproduction of an early pre-Ernie Ball® Music Man® pickup. It uses the same wire, the same magnets, and has the same DC resistance. As a result, it sounds just like the early Music Man® basses that are so widely coveted. Includes black cover (exposed pole pieces). The centre polepieces are raised to balance the sound." There’s plenty on the web about this pickup and they don't come up for sale very often.

The description on the Seymour Duncan site is very accurate. “The tone is more modern with sharper attack and more punch in the bass response” You get the traditional P-Bass sound out of this pickup but the mids punch through better. Totally noise-free, of course, and the battery lasts for 2,000 hours. When the battery runs out in about 10 years time, the pickup will still work without the battery - just a bit quieter. This is the original version with the tone switches, which adjust the resonant peak in a similar way to that expensive passive pot sold by some other pickup manufacturer whose name I can’t remember. I could never hear much difference and I often wondered whether they were actually doing anything. Maybe they don't.

stevie Posted December 18, 2009 Author Share Posted December 18, 2009 Here are the photos. Not my greatest work, I'm afraid. By the way, the pots and jack are included and ready wired. You just need to connect two wires for the pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
