MM5.2 Dual Coil Humbucker |
Nordstrand MM5.2 Music Man Style 5-String Bass Pickup
A 5 string version of the otherwise identical MM4.2, itself an accurate reproduction of an early pre-Ernie Ball pickup. It features Alnico V magnets and Heavy Forvar wire for an authentic punchy, growly, and inherently fat tone. The MM5.2 is a dual coil pickup that can be wired series, parallel, or single coil (split-able). Includes black cover (exposed pole pieces).

QUOTE: This is as close as we could come to an early Music Man pickup with the shorter magnets. I analyzed a real one and made our pickup match it as much as possible. If you want an original Music Man tone, this is as close as we can get. It is a traditional hum-bucking pickup and can be run in series, or parallel, which is the way they were run in OEM installations. A single coil setting will be true single coil and have 60 cycle hum like any other single coil. ~ Carey Nordstrand

MM5.3 Tri Coil Humbucker |
Nordstrand MM5.3 Music Man Style 5-String Bass Pickup
The MM5.3 is the 5 string version of the MM4.3 and also utilizes a dummy coil on the bottom to achieve a silent single coil mode. Like the other pickups in this series, the MM5.3 features Alnico V magnets and Heavy Forvar wire for an authentic early pre-Ernie Ball tone - punch, growly, and fat. Includes black cover for exposed pole pieces.
Note: The MM5.3 is made as direct replacement on MusicMan basses with a tri coil only.

QUOTE: This is an alnico version of the Sterling (4 string) and Stingray (5 string) pickup. It's got three coils in a pyramid configuration (the third coil is underneath the center of the other two coils). It is intended as a replacement only. NOTE: This pickup requires a special rout for installation because of the third coil hanging off the bottom. ~ Carey Nordstrand |
MM5.4 Quad Coil Humbucker |
Nordstrand MM5.4 Music Man Style 5-String Bass Pickup
The MM5.4 is the 5 string version of the MM4.4 and is split in similar fashion, except that it has a 2 string coil (B and E) and a 3 string coil (A, D and G). The pickup can be split and remain hum cancelling in any configuration. Front coil, rear coil, series, parallel... This pickup has all the basses covered, and is particularly suited to a Lakland installation where the 3 way switch selects front, rear, or parallel coils.

QUOTE: While these look like our standard MM series pickups they are designed for players who want to single out one or the other coil on their pickups. They still provide the great bottom end as well as the sweet highs that one would find on the pre-Ernie Ball MM humbuckers but they have a slightly darker sound due to the pair of split coils. ~ Carey NordstrandQUOTE: This is the pickup you want if you'd like to have a silent single coil setting on your bass and you don't have an original Music Man bass. This will also work best in Lakland installations where you want to maintain the original switching for the MM pickup. This pickup has four coils arranged in two linear hum cancelling rows, one set for each row of magnets. You can run it series, parallel, or split it to the front and/or rear coils and maintain silent operation in all modes. It's the most versatile pickup we make in this style. It does sacrifice a little high end because of the extra coil wire required for the hum-cancelling design.~ Carey Nordstrand |
