PR – Nordstrand Pickups Releases the BigRig Hum Canceling Bass Pickup

The BigRig Pickup came about very organically, as?a result of a conversation with bassist Alberto Rigoni. A dual 51 P style pickup, one pole per string, was the initial concept, but offset pole pieces are iconic for Nordstrand. What developed is a hum canceling pickup where the coils sense different parts of the string movement.The result isn’t the normal comb lter mode cancellation effect, which can make humbuckers sound a bit one dimensional. The BigRig has a very broad spectrum sound with tons of texture and complexity at the same time. It sounds a lot like a big single coil. Imagine that. Big Single… but hum canceling.

These all new pickups features:

• Hum canceling
• Nordstrand’s iconic angled pole pieces
• Soapbar Covers?
• Available in 4-string, 5-string, 6-String

Extensively designed, tested and built in the Nordstrand shop in Redlands, California, these pickups are available now at select dealers. Street prices start at $260 per set.
