Nordstrand Music Man MM5.2 Alnico 5 String Dual Coil Humbucker – wide

The Nordstrand Music Man MM5.2 Alnico 5 String Dual Coil Humbucker - wide.

The MM5.2 Alnico is a direct replacement for Music Man® style basses.  This is the narrow spaced version with ears that's made for Lakland or equivalent basses.  It's the same features as Nordstrands MM4.2, but for a 5 string bass. This pickup is an accurate reproduction of an early pre-Ernie Ball® Music Man® pickup. It uses the same wire, the same magnets, and has the same DC resistance. As a result, it sounds just like the early Music Man® basses that are so widely coveted. Includes black cover (exposed pole pieces).  Nordstrand makes three different sizes of this pickup. This is the wide spaced model with ears that fits Lakland or equivalent 5 string basses.
