Woodinblack Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 So there was an open box deal at Best Bass Gear, for a Nordstrand PBass 5 pickup. I have never really been keen on the P Bass pickup on my Maruszczyk which is a Haussel, picked because apparently it is what fitted with my 16.5mm spacing. Anyway, the Nordy pickup looked the right size and was $70, compared to £140 here, so I thought I would go for it. It turned up today, as did some La Bella tapewound strings from Thomann - I played some tapewound basses at the bass bash and they were suprisingly good, (although maybe it was just one of Jabbas basses that did that!). So I have just put the pickup on (yes, all good bass work starts at 23:00), and it was a quick job. Also cleaned the neck, and as I had to take the strings off anyway, it got the tapewounds, initially bought for the fretless. But I am impressed so far. The pickup is a great improvement, a lot more articulate, a bit dirtier. Before: After Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
