Nordstrand NP4V 4 String Vintage Precision Bass® Pickup
This is a vintage correct version of Nordstrand's classic P4 design. With a lower magnet load for a softer, warmer, and smoother output, the player that commandeers these percussive portals to the past should expect a tone that is reminiscent of the 50s P vibe.
Built with Alnico V magnets, these pickups provide a slightly larger punch and pop integral for any player looking to project a more aggressive modern tone. In short, these pickups use vintage specs to acquire nostalgic old school tones.
