adamg67 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 New Pickup Day... look what came in the post this morning, now sitting on the workbench waiting to be fitted to my Maruszczyk Jake 5a. NP5 and BigSplitMan 5 both with custom pole spacing to go with the 17mm string spacing on the Jake, OCD I know but it's my pride and joy bass and I wanted it to look as good as it sounds. The pole height on the humbucker is bang on for the fretboard radius as well. I already added a series / parallel /single switch for the existing Delano humbucker, so I'll have the choice of a split coil version of a big single, or a humbucker made out of two of them (series or parallel - series should be a monster!) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloke_zero Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 OOooooh! Thats one of the configurations I've been looking at, except in 4. Seems like that is tone for days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I've got a BigMan in one of my Shukers (with a Parallel/Series/split switch), and it sounds fantastic... 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They came direct from the US as it happens, just because I was already talking to Nordstrand about some issues getting an NP5 to play with a Delano.

krispn Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 (edited) I’m keen to try the Bigman in my ‘mod’ bass. I think the coil split and Series/parallel options make it a very versatile option in a single pick up banger like mine or as part of a two pick up bass. It was the Dan Lutz model where it first caught my ear. I’ve recently installed their Split 51’s in my Jazz and dig them!

DarkHeart Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I've got the Bigman on both my Alphers, really really good pickup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
