Your cart is empty.The Big Split is a split coil version of Nordstrands Big Single. It gives you the same big, full tone you find with the Big Single, but with hum cancelling properties! These use the same magnet layout as the big single, and the resultantly big coil is about as much single coil pickup that can be packaged in a soap-bar cover. This is the ultimate pickup for the jazz bass-on-steroids tone purist! these pickups will fit as replacements for Bartolini p2. String spacing is 19mm. Includes black covers.

Really good when matched with a Bartolini preamp

I just picked up my Lakland 5501 from the luthier this afternoon. The bass looked amazing and I could not wait to try it. The bass was quite good to begin with, even with the stock pups, now it sounds incredible! I am a big fan of Lakland basses, but their American instruments are a bit too expensive for me. I picked up my 5501 back in 2005 and I was was quite pleased with it. But while I believe my 5501 plays as well as its American counterparts, the stock pups never quite measured up. The Nordstrands changed all of that. Firstly, the Nordies for the bass and required no modifications on the part of the luthier as they were the same size as the stock pups. Secondly, the sound quality is remarkable. The articulation is crystal clear, the lows are assertive and the highs are bright. The Nordies are pricey but are well worth money, they literally took a bass that retailed for less than $1000 and made it sound like an instrument that sells at three time the price.
