    Hum-Free Single Coil Neck + Dual Single Coil Bridge Pickup Operation

    This type of configuration is common in a J/MM with split-coil pickups which are hum-cancelling. The problem is, you don’t get the same classic jazz bass tone with a split coil neck pickup and one coil from a MM bridge pickup as you do from a pair of single coil pickups. I wanted to put this out...

    Do you have a Nordy BigMan in J/MM setup?

    If so, what do you use for your J neck pickup?

    Bass concept: pickups

    Hi guys! So I was thinking of a concept for a bass, and I was wondering how looser sounding pickups sound with tighter sounding ones. I was gonna use the nordstrand bigman 4 in the bridge position, and the nordstrand nm4 in the neck position. I know they don't actually go together that well...

    Pulled the Nordstrand Bigman pickups from my Tom Clement Kim in favor of the Nordstrand Quad Coil 4.4's. Wired the 4.4s the same as I had the Bigmans Series/Single/Parallel. Bass is solid, so is the treble, but a bit too much in the mids for a passive bass. 4.4's suit the passive tone on my...

    Tom Clement Kim with Nordstrand Bigman Pickups

    So, a while back I mentioned that Tom Clement and I weren't done. I started tuning in 5ths a while back and couldn't get on with my Clement 6'ers or my Conklin 7 tuned in 5ths. The low F didn't make sense to me and I couldn't get comfy with the high B string. I ended up rebuilding my arsenal...
