Description
If you’ve been chasing the punchy, midrange-forward snarl of the earliest Music Man® basses, stop hunting for a vintage original and drop this in instead. Nordstrand built this humbucking 4-string pickup as a faithful reproduction of the pre-Ernie Ball® Music Man® unit, matching the original spec sheet down to the wire gauge, the Alnico V magnets, and the DC resistance. Nothing here is a modern reinterpretation — it’s the real recipe, rewound with Nordstrand’s usual attention to detail.
The result is a dual-coil design that delivers the aggressive, cutting midrange and tight low end that made those early MM basses so sought-after in the first place. Slap, fingerstyle, pick — this pickup translates all of it with the kind of clarity and bark that put Music Man on the map long before Ernie Ball took over the brand.
- Humbucking (dual coil) design for 4-string Music Man®-type basses
- Alnico V magnets, period-correct wire and DC resistance
- Accurate reproduction of early pre-Ernie Ball® Music Man® tone
- Includes black cover with exposed pole pieces
A drop-in upgrade for any MM-style bass looking to trade generic output for genuine vintage character.
