Nordstrand Bass Guitar Pickups   Simulated Handwound P'ups.
Nordstrand uses a Tanac computer controlled winding machine. This machine allows Nordstrand to program every wind of wire in the coil. They have taken advantage of the power of this level of control and programmed a simulated hand wind pattern for their replacement pickups. This allows them to repeat, coil after coil, the same warm vintage sound of a true hand wound coil without having to actually wind it by hand.

Articles, Discussions, and Tips
Tip for weak sounding pickups: If two pickups sound thin and weak when used together, most likely they are out of phase with each other. For example, if you’re combining a Basslines pickup with a Fender pickup in the same bass, you’ll need to reverse the black and white wires on the Basslines. ~ Seymour D.
