Nordstrand Big Blades - Clean and Clear Tone

Big Blades - Clean and Clear Tone

Big Blade Soapbar Bass Pickup

Big Blade is a result of the pursuit of a continuous sensing blade style pickup whose tone brings with it the huge, rich, and powerful characteristics so well established by our famous Big Singles. The sound is a bit more modern and aggressive, and there are no more worries about making sure the pole pieces line up with your strings. Weaponize your bass today!
