Nordstrand Big Blade 4 Soapbar Set

Nordstrand Big Blade 4 Soapbar has been produced whilst in pursuit of a continuous blade style pickup.  With a sound that is powerful, huge, and has ballistic belligerence. A pickup that is something close to the Big Singles but a bit more modern in both tone and appearance.

The blade’s radius is designed for even output in most basses. Which is analogously derivative of the uniform magnetic field that is sure to capture an accurate representation of each string’s vibrational nature. This pickup is the Spartan of Nordstrand’s discriminating pickup regiment; the sonic soldier who wages war against any tonal incongruities that might suggest vulnerability. If any band’s thin, feeble-bodied, or indistinct mix dare cross its path. It will without a doubt be decimated by its unrelenting characteristics. Arm your bass today!

If not in stock these pickups usually take 6-8 weeks to be made. We will e-mail you once your order is being sent from Tone Merchants HQ in Auckland NZ.

Product Description

Nordstrand Big Blade 4 Soapbar has the unique aesthetic of the BB’s slotted blade was an innovative solution to a technical problem. How to fit an exposed, slightly surfaced blade into a cover that will be able to obtain uniform tonal resonance.

The solution to this pickup’s blade issue came to Carey Nordstrand during a fever dream. While his brain was apprehended by the substance of progressive and cutting-edge frequency that he tends to experiment with on the day to day. The vision was vivid; a clue to creating weaponizing tone was presented to him by a bombastic bass god. The result was the slotted blade design, fitting snug in its cover and delivering the uniform resonance that Carey was searching for. These pickups were forged in Redlands, CA.
