This might help, looks same to me, but I’m no writing expert tbh - more hit and hope 😂

I think the white goes where the tone cap is, on the pot on the right. The black goes to ground. Not a common wiring though, I think.

Exchange rate? Price may be going back down now, £2657 for me this morning. 11 left. Wondering if you may just score a late winner. I’ve emailed Big Poppa asking if he fancies p/x’ing my Jazz... 😁

Bought some strings - good deal, fast delivery, and great communication. Cheers @loremil 🙏

Pleasure to be starting a feedback thread for @Waddo Soqable I’m surprised there isn’t a feedback thread here yet, because Pete is a top fella and a Basschat market place pro - highly recommended 👌 Cheers Pete 🙏

Good luck 👍

What you’re describing might be the wiring in parallel characteristic, a series/parallel switch could alter that.

Nordstrand customer service on email is very good - like Chris said earlier, worth dropping them a line perhaps.

My Lull PJ4 has a Nordstrand P and Dual Coil, the Dual Coil cleans up the P but adds a tighter mid punch as opposed to thinning it. It’s so good that it’s often hard to go back to a straight P tone. I’m talking about blended though, I’m not as keen on the ‘both on’ tone https://nordstrandaudio.com/collections/4-string-soapbar-bass-pickups/products/dual-coil-4

£1300 rings a bell, might of been a touch more. Compared to others at that time it seemed like they were letting it go at cost after a few years in stock. Ive seen this one for sale a few times - not sure if it’s the same guy though.

One of the big dealers (Coda or GAK?) had one for years and couldn’t sell it, it ended up going dirt cheap. I was tempted at one point, but thought if it’s been there that long it may be a dog.

I like the Granite, but shame it’s a satin finish as they seem to wear more easily, not great on a 1 of 100 bass for me. Black would match my Special nicely though, so I’ll keep an eye on the classifieds next year, that bass looks like pure fun.

I made the ‘mistake’ of going there when I was doing a distance post grad degree at UoB and went to a study weekend - came home with a lovely 40th Anniversary Old Smoothie to celebrate my 40th birthday and results of my first assignment 😁

Given the background, looks like a joke by the dude at the factory - I mean, why wouldn’t you?! But a ‘58 would have a 3 tone burst, so in the world of geekdom the joke is on him 😝 Cool bass 👍

Ooof - and have to fork out more 💰for a lighter coloured logo...?
