Nordstrand 5-String Parallel Wind Dual Coil Pickups

Parallel Dual Coils

Dual Coil Humcancelling Soapbar pickups for 4, 5, & 6 String sizes

This is a modern design dual coil humbucking pickup. Pickups like these are usually found on very high end basses.

They use Alnico V magnets and the traditional bi-pole layout with two poles per string. It’s almost like two Jazz Bass® style pickups in one cover.

These pickups are designed to be wired in parallel.

In general, a pickup wired in parallel will typically have more highs and a deeper low end with a cleaner midrange. Parallel pickups are generally a better choice for a split-able installation, as there will not be the gain loss associated with series pickups.

Standard spacing is 19mm ctc at the bridge

Standard spacing is 18mm ctc at the bridge for 6 String.

Please check the physical size of the pickups you want to replace to make sure the replacements fit properly.
