molan Posted May 16, 2014 Author Posted May 16, 2014 Nordstrand NP5's are £120 new - these ones are in great condition and a really nice way to beef up the sound of your bass There's some info on them here: http://nordstrandpickups.com/products/np5/ http://nordstrandpickups.com/products/np5f-2/
molan Posted May 20, 2014 Author Posted May 20, 2014 No 5 string P players out there looking for a pickup upgrade I may re-list these individually as the thread is a bit cluttered now!
chrisonthebrink Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 I know this thread is super old, any of the p bass 5 string pickups still available?

JimBobTTD Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 I have Nordstrands in my P5 - same size as P4 pickups, angled pole pieces etc. I was thinking just the other day how fantastically fantastic they sound. Have a good-product-great-price-bump!

[/quote] Yep - there's still one left. It's actually labelled as an NP5F Custom. It has angled pole pieces which the F version doesn't usually have so my guess is that the Custom part is the set up of the angles rather than straight ones (if that makes sense!). Looks brand new, never fitted, wires perfectly could and don't appear to have any traces of solder. Price is £85.
horatiobass Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Many thanks for prompt response, out of my budget sadly. GLWTS
Matt P Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 just as a double check (as it's labled as a custom) what is the string spacing for the NP5F Custom? Thanks Matt

Thanks Matt [/quote] It was designed for a Fender USA 5 string P but I'm not entirely sure what that is. Putting a tape measure to the centre point of each pair of pole pieces looks like 19mm to me.
-3db Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Is this a jazz bridge pickup and is it still available?

lee650 Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 I've just taken delivery of a squire P 5 so that Nordstrand is tempting
molan Posted February 22, 2015 Author Posted February 22, 2015 Just realised the Nordy pickup is still sitting on the shelf - anyone interested?
Ben64 Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 I know this is old- those Nordys still around?? Cheers!

[/quote] Incredibly late reply but I've just found them buried away at the bottom of a box of cables! There's nothing on them to show if they are the regular or vintage NP5's though I'm afraid
