What is your instrument of choice?
My instrument of choice is a Fender Jazz Bass with Nordstrand Big J-Blades.
I love how insanely clear and balanced they are. I put them in a bass I had been struggling with for years. Now it's my main instrument.
I've been using Nordstrand for about 6 months I guess and have known about the company for a while. Always admired the innovative quality of Nordstrand.
Confirmed tour dates for 2019 with more to follow:
I discovered Nordstrand by testing different products and trying different solutions on my basses. I literally fell in love with the definition of tone, the prominence of the harmonics and the neutrality of the pickups
