New Bass Pickup: Nordstrand Pickups Releases the Power Blade 5
Nordstrand Power Blade 5…
The Power Blade 5 is the follow up to the Power Blade 4. This five-string version, with its thick steel blade, optimized wind, and ceramic magnets providing an authoritative low-end punch, will distribute a forcefield of fat slap fury that is tamed and guided by a super smooth top end. With half of its tonal DNA being derived from the classic P design, its character is inherently reminiscent of that hard-hitting P bass vigor we all love, only with a bit more girth in its low-end and translucent flow in its highs.
Technical Details:
• Hum canceling split coil 5 string precision-type bass pickup.
• Thick steel blade
• No worries about string spacing!
• Drop-in replacement P-bass pickup – See Dimensions Tab – (Fender sizing currently not available).
• Ceramic magnets.
Extensively designed, tested and built in the Nordstrand shop in Redlands, California, these pickups are available now at select dealers. Street prices start at $138.
