These are very different
What size potentiometer does this use? Can I request a potentiometer?
Thanks for checking out the video - we carry and sell all of the potentiometers used in the Aguilar preamps on this page: fatbasstone.com/products/potentiometers-for-bass?variant=42630450249967 The relevant pots to this preamp are the 250k Volume, 250k Blend, 50K EQ pots.
The pots used on this preamp are: 250k Volume, 250k Blend, 50K EQ pots.
The slap part is killer with that pickup!!
Yes it is! Thanks for watching Ray!
Series mode sounds best to me, but all modes sound very good. Another excellent pickup from Delano.
Agreed! Thanks for checking out the channel :)
Are the blades noise canceling?
Hi Glenn-Thanks for checking out the channel. The Big Blades are single coil. Click here to learn more - fatbasstone.com/products/nordstrand-big-blade-5-string-bass-pickups
Out of all 5 of my bass guitars. My favorite to look at and play is my 2013 Sandberg TT Panther.
Thanks for checking out the channel :)
What's the difference between this and Nordy 4.2? They sound quite similar I think. Those Nordies sound good in both parallel and series, which is not the case for all pickups on your channel :) for example, while I LOVE the sound of BigMan, it sounds great only in parallel. This one sounds great in both wiring options
4.2 is dual coil, 4.4 is quad coil(hum canceling if you wire it to allow for single coil operation). It's a really good pickup.
Thanks for checking out the video. Khary nailed the answer below. NA likely was trying to dial in a very similar tone between the MM4.2 and the 4.4. Indeed, some of the pickups truly sound much better in parallel - per the originals. I have the Big Blademan in a 4 string, wired in series....Most definitely going to add a switch to be able to use it in parallel as well.
Can you make a SMB4D video? Keep the content mate 😊
thanks for checking out the video. Someday, we may do that. The Duncan SMB 4D (ceramic) hasn't been as popular as the 4A version.
Which strap you use on this video? :D
That is an LK Strap - Grab one here -> fatbasstone.com/products/lk-straps-leather-bass-strap
Good idea on the off centre cut😊. This looks like another interesting and cool build mate👍🏼😁
Thanks for checking out the video!
Is that an sr 305? How is it?
Yep, good eye on the bass model. It is surpisingly well built for the price. Clean fret work and neck. The pickups and preamp are not good, but that is to be expected in a bass at this price.
Thanks for the demo. Subscribed!
Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Nice “gritty” tone… I’d love to hear these paired with a active darkglass preamp for a modern twist on the jazz sound… 👍👍
Indeed, some bite! Thanks for checking out the video!
Great demo!
Thanks for checking out the video John!
does the wiring that comes with it allow for 2 pickups instead of just 1?
Thanks for checking out the video. Each pickup comes with a volume and tone, and you can wire it up a couple ways using what is provided....to do a vol-vol-tone or vol-vol-tone-tone configuration. You can check out page 3 of this diagram for a bit more visuals on this - cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0078/6697/4298/files/EMG-35_bass_0230-0127rb.pdf?20%0A If you want a pickup blend pot, then that is a part that needs to be purchased separately.
@@FatBassTone Thanks a lot!
@@TexturaI You bet.. Drop us a line at info@fatbasstone.com if you want to buy a set or need further help.
great sound and awesome bass! thanks for posting. i think i'm gonna grab a PBJ set for my new bass I'm building. Cheers!
Thanks for checking out the channel - These do sound excellent!
This sounds really good. I'm trying to decide between this and the bartolini 8cbp. This Aguilar seems to have a bit more clarity.
Yeah - I would agree. They have a different vibe even though both are ceramic bars. I have the 8CBP in a p bass that I built with an acrylicized maple fretboard and that bass really likes the 8CBP pickup. The bass doesn't need any extra top end or clarity up top, but a little bump in the low mids.
I have this singularity on my LTD B205 bass. sound great
Awesome, thanks for sharing the real world experience :)
Do they make these for 6 string bass soap bar configuration 4.5"
Yes they do....if you are speaking of the EMG sizing that is 4.5" x 1.5" - drop us a line at info@fatbasstone.com and we can get a set for you.
A really good demo! Not (at least not only) to showcase the bassplayer but I really got to hear how this pickup sounded.
Thanks Magnus - We appreciate the kind words :)
So deep and punchy!
Yes! for sure - Thanks for watching.
This are passive ?
Hi Nick - Nope, these are active pickups. The EMG line that is passive is denoted with an HZ on most models. Thanks for checking out the video!
Subbed! Love your videos ❤
Awesome, thanks Gabriel!
The people here who are commenting that the Nordstrand and the Fralin don’t have that low mid range need to understand that these pickups were meant to pair with the jazz pick up that is hum-canceling when you mix the two together, especially in the studio it’s a very beautiful thing.
What happened to the slap section?
Hey Lauren - Thanks for checking out the video. Had some digital noise that made me ditch the slap track. I really like having it there as some differences in the pickups are particularly good to hear, but couldn't use the track this time.
Hi, what string spacing is this pickup for?
Thanks for checking out the video - These are for 18mm bridge spacing. Drop us a line at info@fatbasstone.com if we can help further.
Man I LOVE that bass...the sound, the looks, that fretboard. Simplicity at it's finest.
Same here...it plays pretty well too! It is actually a borrowed bass, and while the owner is happy to lend, there is pretty much no price he'd sell it for. His wife surprised him with it about 10 years ago, and in his stable of basses it will forever stay.
Will you be doing reviews on any of the filter pre amps or multi coil pickups?
At some point, yes. It will be a while though. Thanks for watching.
Woukd this be a good replacement for a Tobias Growler? I find the Growler pickups to lack punch. TQ
Thanks for checking out the video - This pickup does have some nice body and heft. Here is a video demo of Delano MC4 FE/M2 - ruclips.net/video/vFmaTqS4xxI/видео.html Another to check out is the Nordstrand Big BladeMan - ruclips.net/video/H46vTIaHP-E/видео.html It is pretty punchy.
@@FatBassTone ... watched both videos earlier on. Thanks a lot. You guys are doing a great job!
@@hushpuppykl Awesome. Thanks for checking out the vids.
These sound great. Nordstrand is definitely the way to go for one of the best “modern” tones on the market
Hey James - Thanks for checking out the video. Modern and more :)
Sounds good now do it with a pick.
Thanks for watching - Will do, if and when we re-record this one.
It sounds really good. 😮
For sure...I have this pickup in my MM, and love it.
This pickup sounds thicker and more muscular, if you will. Bart pickup comes in 2nd to the Nordy in my book.
Yep, that was their goal...BIG Tone!
Wired in Series it's just beastly. I use the Alpha overdrive in my Darkray to try to get that sound. I wonder how my Darkray would sound with the BigMan in it. Hmmmm.
@@MrPrincebass99 For sure - Those thick mids in Series wiring are excellent!
Nice playing
Thanks for your kind words, I will pass them on... Andy is stellar to work with and nearly all performances are first takes!
Great reviews. Question to this and the Delano: have you toggle switch on board for changing parallel/series?
Thanks Andy - Good question...We actually wired in a small screw terminal for quickly making the changes on these MM vids. Thanks for watching!
I have this pickup in my prototype bass build and absolutely love it. It's wired in parallel and paired with a Darkglass Tone Capsule. After hearing how amazing it sounds in series, I'm definitely going to be adding a switch to go between the two modes.
I feel the same way. If you have seen our Bass Build in 30 minutes, that is my (Brian's) personal MM bass. I wired it in series, and after doing all of these MM demos where did both Series and Parallel, I put it on my todo list to add that switching :)
HUGE difference between parallel and series. I don't think I've heard such a bump in midrange in series on a pickup before. Great demo as always.
I agree Khary! Such a difference. I am quite tempted to add a series parallel switch to my most recent MM build after working on these demos.
alguien sabe si ese pre se tiene que cargar cada cierto tiempo ? el mío dejo de sonar
Hola, Que Tal - no es un pre que tienes que cargar, pero ocasionalmente, necesita cambiar la bateria.
This pickup is so underrated it’s so just badass. Because people change them out into cheaper instruments. People think they are for cheaper instruments. Nate mandell mark hoppus, lots of rock players use these
Indeed! You'll get no argument from me. I wrote an article swapping the PJ version in a cheap Ibanez, I was so impressed - fatbasstone.com/blogs/tips/review-of-seymour-duncan-quarter-pounder-pj-bass-pickups
I currently have that same Ibanez SR300E, Have heavy gauge 110, 90, 75, 55 Ernie ball flatwounds in standard on it. Back in the day I had one of thoes olp, black with a blue pickguard, was a great bass imo, good choice upgrading the pickup.
Thanks for checking out the video! The OLPs definitely need some help with the pickups.
It’s got some grit and sizzle, I like it
For sure, a bit of meat on this pickup :). Thanks for watching.
Huge bang for buck on this one. I tried this and the ceramic - not a fan of the voice of the ceramic one
Yep, these are very well priced. Agreed, I like the AlNiCo better.
sounds good for slappers
Agreed! Thanks for checking out the video!
do you know if the pickup cover is removable?
Hi Cole - Thanks for checking out the video. The cover is held in place with hot glue, that should not be too hard to remove. You can see it in one of the photos featuring the back of the pickup here - fatbasstone.com/products/nordstrand-mm4-2-4-string-dual-coil-music-man-bass-pickup?variant=44491692703983
Several wiring options... could you please put some examples about the options we have with those pickups?
Thanks for checking out the video - Indeed, these can be wired in series, parallel and single coil. That being said, the majority of players wire Bartolini dualcoils in series. Here is a video with audio examples of the Classic Bass series wired in series - ruclips.net/video/fEGRVlkHabw/видео.htmlsi=4Bqv_aayk24PZujX
What is the tone wood of the body on that bass
Hi James - That one has an alder body, 2008 - serialnumberlookup.fender.com/product/0136100380
I chose an SPB-1 for my new to me 1972 Precision. The screw pack was for a jazz pickup set. Too beefy to fit through the holes of the plastic covers. Glad i had some narrow ones tucked away. I still have bits from the late 70s.
Thanks for checking out the video - Pretty weird that SD mispacked those! Hope you are digging the tone with the SPB-1
Nice playing….pickup sounds ok. The BIG issue is that brittle and thin sounding G is still evident sadly. A real issue with Stingrays.
Thanks for checking out the video!
#PaulSDenman
i think sjb 3 is not good for slaper,
Thanks for watching the video - The SJB-3 pickups may a little too much midrange for some slappers.
@@FatBassTone what about the fender jazz bass american standart pickup? mid range or high or low?
@@Qwerty_134 Hard to comment on that question, as they have changed sonically over the years. Fender is getting these pickups made for them, and they are the most common pickup that we sell replacement pickups.
@@FatBassTone what about fender jazz bass 60's
@@Qwerty_134 Our exposure is quite low with Fender's pickups since we don't carry them. Maybe someone else will have some thoughts.
