Bass pickups Nordstrand Fat Stack 6 for 6 string bass
(bridge + neck ) 1set
These are a proprietary Nordstrand design, born from the
angled pole prospects of the bossman himself. The traditional bi-pole magnet
layout was rotated 45 degrees, increasing the size of the traditional J style
coil by 50%, making the coil wider and instigating the growth of a larger
magnetic aperture, facilitating the capture of each string's unique harmonic
characteristics. This results in a fatter tone that is somewhat reminiscent of
a J style single coil. However, with the FS's stacked coil design, its tone is
inherently darker, bolder, and fatter. The Fat Stack presents a range that
cascades across the sonic spectrum, providing a present but pleasant high end,
a detailed midrange, and full-bodied low end. Due to the naturally occurring
lower output of its design, these pickups benefit greatly from a pre-amp with 3
or more db of gain.
*These pickups are shipped with three conductor wire for a
split-able installation. Essentially, this is a turbo switch that will propel
your tone to the point of bludgeoning aggression. When the third lead is shorted
to ground, only the top coil will remain active. This will result in a meaner
version of the large tone these pickups deliver—albeit with 60 cycle noise that
single coils inherently possess.
