I have the same bass, other colour and I can confirm that the pickups kick ass. I Was planning to replace them but after a handful of live shows , many rehearsals and practice hours , I still dig them . Not too noissy neither.
A much tamer high end and richer mids and lows on the Nordstrands compared to stock. Personally i like that, but some may prefer the snap of the stocks. Good demo on these pickups.
Great Demo-thanks. This is helpful for my search to upgrade my stock 1998 American Standard. What year is the bass and what are the stock pickups? So far I like Nordstrands as one of my top picks. Lindy Fralin and Lollars are nice too. Also considering the Fender pure vintage 74.
@@sonojon0 Squires have come a long way-stock pickups actually sounded good. My first bass was a 1989 Squire Jazz and it was not a good playing or sounding bass in comparison to my Am. Std.
NJ4 70 flatwounds 0:58 NJ4 60 flatwounds ruclips.net/video/C2VbZIF7ggU/видео.html With flatwounds is better the 70 model because the 60 is too muddy. And I prefer the stock pickups to NJ because they sound clearer.
The big take away for me is that the stock pickups on display here are really quite nice lol.

Totally agree and thank you! I was completely sold on how the Nordstrands sounded!
@@sonojon0 Do you prefer 60's or 70's wound Nordsrands for a more aggressive sound?
70s wound for aggressive sound. I really love that growl and bite@@marg0049
Nordstrands have a very nice low mid thump, but also top end presence! Great demo!
Keep up all your good work Johnathan! I’ve know this guy since highschool he’s always been super musically talented I’m so glad you’ve kept it up man!
Thanks Christian. Appreciate the kind words 🤙🏾
Thumbs up for Jamiroquai!

The year of the squier is 2022 and I believe the stock pickups are Squier branded pickups in alnico 5

Did you use the stock pots and caps?
Yes. All original pots and caps to keep things consistent
