great bass! Did the bass originally come with the Nordstrands Cualcoils?

Hi! No, it came originalky with Nordstrand Big Singles. Although I liked the sound with
both pickups on I found other position too
'wooly' and in general not very versatile.
I also tried Sadowsky humbuckers which sounded full and well balanced but -ofcourse- not as crispy, cutting and 'alive' as I felt the bass could sound. The Nordstrand dual Coils with the quite unique switching possibilities are offering great sound variety and bring the bass alive. I never knew pick ups make that kind of difference. By the way, the pick up cavity was untouched. The alternative pick ups I tried all fit perfectly.

Had many cool reactions. Most of them however with less desirable trade proposals. After all... this bass is still available. (I am interested in 5 or 6 string Fodera (maple or ebony, 19mm, 34 inch) or 6 string Ken Smith basses, in general: the older the better!)
