Description

Edit description

For bass enthusiasts seeking a touch of classic authenticity, the Nordstrand NP4V Vintage offers an unparalleled blend of retro charm and modern craftsmanship. Designed to capture the essence of the legendary P-style bass tones of the 60s, this pickup promises an authentically vintage sound that is both warm and punchy. Whether you're laying down a rock-solid groove or exploring more melodic lines, the NP4V is crafted to deliver a consistent and reliable performance that stands the test of time.

Handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail, the Nordstrand NP4V Vintage features a traditional split-coil design. This setup not only ensures a noiseless operation but also provides a balanced tonal response across all registers. The use of Alnico V magnets enhances the dynamic range, giving your bass a fuller, more resonant voice. For musicians who value versatility, this pickup transitions seamlessly from stage to studio, making it a trusted component in any bassist's toolkit.

The Nordstrand NP4V Vintage doesn't just offer a nod to the past—it brings a slice of it into the present, making it a beloved choice for players who appreciate both heritage and innovation.

Key Features:

Split-coil design for hum-canceling performance
Alnico V magnets for a broad dynamic range
Vintage-style windings for classic P-bass tones
Handcrafted with high-quality materials
Seamless integration with standard P-style basses

I was introduced to Nordstrand by my friend Graham Drew, bassist and bass expert. I use Nordstrand NP4v and NJ4 vintage single coil pickups, which just sound ‘right’ to me.
