Custom options require extra time for delivery. Think of it as a turbo charger for tone!Ĭhoosing all standard options ensures a quicker delivery time. When the third lead is shorted to ground only the top coil will remain active for a louder, more aggressive and mean version of the fat tone these pickups deliver (albeit with 60 cycle noise that single coils inherently possess). These pickups are shipped with three conductor wire for a split-able installation.

Due to the naturally lower output of this design, these pickups can sometimes benefit from a pre-amp with 3 or more db of gain. These pickups have a great deal of midrange detail and fullness.

Full range and a present but pleasant high end response. These pickups have a tone reminiscent of a J style single coil, but they are bigger and bolder. This results in a larger aperature, which captures more harmonic content from the string, resulting in a “fatter” tone. By rotating the pole 45 degrees for each set we have increased the size of the traditional J style coil by 50%, making it wider, or “fatter”.

The traditional bi-pole magnet layout was, literally, twisted in a new direction. *Not exactly what you are looking for?

To this day, the story of the Fat Stack’s conception along with its unique tone makes it one of our most endeared models. When he returned, Carey beheld a new, scaffolded pickup design infused with angled poles and the ability for split-able installation. Nordstrand was gone for about as long as it took for Stew Mckinsey to tear up a savage funk line. So a few of our more curious winding technicians tide a rope around his waist, and, with plenty of slack, lowered him into the portal we discovered when we accidentally cut a hole in the sonic continuum with our in-shop industrial laser. Years ago, Carey Nordstrand, the shop Admiral, was getting antsy to find yet another application for his angled pole design. History: The creation of this pickup comes from a tale of sonic excursion and exploration. Standard spacing is 19mm ctc at the bridge.Available as a single neck or bridge pickup, or as a set.Stacked humbucking 5 string bass pickups.This will result in a meaner version of the large tone these pickups deliver - albeit with 60 cycle noise that single coils inherently posses. When the third lead is shorted to ground, only the top coil will remain active. Essentially, this is a turbo switch that will propel your tone to the point of bludgeoning aggression. *These pickups are shipped with three conductor wire for a split-able installation. Due to the naturally occurring lower output of its design, these pickups benefit greatly from a pre-amp with 3 or more db of gain. The Fat Stack presents a range that cascades across the sonic spectrum, providing a present but pleasant high end, a detailed midrange, and full-bodied low end. However, with the FS ’ s stacked coil design, its tone is inherently darker, bolder, and fatter. This results in a fatter tone that is somewhat reminiscent of a J style single coil. The traditional bi-pole magnet layout was rotated 45 degrees, increasing the size of the traditional J style coil by 50%, making the coil wider and instigating the growth of a larger magnetic aperture, facilitating the capture of each string ’ s unique harmonic characteristics. These are a proprietary Nordstrand design, born from the angled pole prospects of the bossman himself.
