“The right pickup can make or break an electric bass. I spend far too much time chasing perfection on my basses to install anything less than perfect. Nordstrand provides my builds with that critical piece which matches, even exceeds, the high bar of my expectations.”
~ Ellis Hahn, LEH Guitars
"I love the way the Starlifter warms up my sound. This wonderful Preamp adapts to every musical genre. It is able to enhance the colors you prefer to the fullest, guaranteeing the sound quality we come to expect from Nordstrand Audio. After two years of using the StarLifter, I can say that I couldn't do without it. it has now become an integral part of my sound.”
~ Emmanuel Simoncini
