largo Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 (edited) [b]Half price from new at £75 including P&P[/b] With all the delays on my Sei Jazz I had 19mm Nordstrand Big Single pickups installed rather than wait the 12 weeks for custom orders. My Sei bass has an 18mm spacing. They work fine and are the best pickups I've ever used but the 19mm pickups mean I can't adjust the string spacing on the bass at all as I'd go outside the pole pieces. A few months back I custom ordered 18mm Big Singles and they've just arrived. So, any offers for a set of 5 string 19mm Big Singles pickups, hardly used ? It's a long, and interesting story but these came out of Paul Turner's (Jamiroquai) Nordy Jazz bass. Rumour has it that you can sound & play exactly like Paul if you buy these pickups. You'll never have to practice again ! S Edited December 9, 2007 by largo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baixo Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 These are amazing pickups. The Big Singles are a great upgrade for a Lakland 55-01 (nearly the same size as the Bart MK1s - about 1 or 2 mm narrower) and the correct 19 mm string spacing, the best upgrade I ever done... Have a bump Joao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopthebass Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Are the jazz or soapbar shaped? Any idea on price? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
largo Posted November 15, 2007 Author Share Posted November 15, 2007 (edited) Big Singles are the soapbar style, like this [url="http://www.nordstrandpickups.com/bass-pickups/signature/signature.html"]Big Singles[/url] Their not even out of my bass yet, so this is just a feeler but at a guess £100 inc P&P New I reckon they are £150 shipped from the US and these are hardly used. However, I may be open to trades for anything interesting... Quite fancy a wireless system, AKG WMS 400 if anybody wants a trade. I'll pay the difference. Or a Phil Jones Flightcase amp, or what else have you got ? Edited November 15, 2007 by largo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
