The Nordstrand Starlifter looks interesting. I haven't tried one, but the reviews intrigue me.

I had one, sounded great but the power supply was a deal breaker for me unfortunately.

Yeah I quite like using the studio tube preamp and studio tube compressor models for a clean sound.

I did try that studio tube pre and thought it sounded great. I might create a new patch with that tonight to compare to the B15… The possibilities with this thing are endless!

I haven't tried to put the drive before the octaver. How does it track?

It tracks fine, have used it live and at rehearsal and not had any issues at all. 
I may swap the order around to see if there is a difference.

Having played around with the Helix for a week or so I seem to be preferring the sound of the B15 preamp to the amp models. I have it set almost flat, it sounds like a really nice high quality DI

My main live sound patch consists of

Volume pedal-Kinky boost- Obsidian- Cawthorne drive- Octave- B15 preamp.

The Cawthorne and the Octave  are fairly close to the EHX Microsynth sound I was looking for so definitely a win there!

Is anyone else here preferring just a pre to and amp/cab model?

I would sell one of my wife’s kidneys for that😂😂

Picture of my 2014 Precision. I think Fender got it very right with this series. 

My favourite colour combination by far… beautiful looking bass

Thanks! I did try some SD Quarter Pounds too but they were far too boomy so they came straight out!  

I seem to remember checking to see if Fralin did one but from memory they don’t. I might be tempted to try the Aguilars next I think… maybe a Lollar might make me something if I ask nicely😊

How do you find the Nordstrands in the 5? I’m finding they’re a bit more mellow than anything I have in my four strings….haven’t made my mind up yet…! 

I would kind of agree with you there. The 5 is certainly more mellow than the 4, which can get quite aggressive. It still sounds like a good P though. I think the 4 sounds more like a bright 50’s Precision and the 5 a mellowed out 60’s Precision.

I have considered trying some other pickups in the 5 but overall am pretty happy with the sound, the 4 is absolutely perfect though😊

These are my only 2 basses now… Both American Pro Precisions and both with Nordstrand pickups. 

Wow!
