Nordstrand NP4 vs NP4A vs NP4V 

In fact these are mine. I never used the NP4V so far. I have the NP4a on Alder/Rosewood basses and the NP4 on Alder/Maple basses. Usually I really love a low mid heavy sound as I am playing with a pick and some drive. Ib these clips I prefer the NP4a which seems to have slightly less mids than the other 2 PUs. Recording wise I prefer the sound of my original 66P. So I think I will try the NP4V in my main P (Squier JV 83). Anyway, huge thanks Oliver Tobin for comparing these three, so I won't have to do the soldering and setup myself :)

Nice job, I like them all, I could see having a base with the v and another with the A’s I gravitate to the higher output, but those vintage sounded good

im so exited to watch this video. its like your getting new p bass pickups every second.

Very well produced. All aspects of the video are top notch. Keep up the good work bud

Great video. Very helpful, thank you. This seals it for me that I want the "v" variety on my P-bass from which I hope to get a more "vintage" sound.

I put the NP4a in my Spector, I swapped out the Aguilair. Fucking night and day, they sound big and it hits you right in the face. Im pairing it with a seymour duncan quarter pound jazz pick up

Would love to see one or all of the Nordstrands up against some old favorites like the SPB3, GZR, and Model P. Great video as always!

Thanks for the great comparison!!!

You sold me on the NP4As. Now I just need to save up and get 2 sets. Thanks!

Chiaro ed esplicativo come sempre! Grande!

NP4A!!!! Cheers 🍺

They all sound Bad Ass. Great Video. NP4 and NP4A to my liking.

Great job on getting 1000 subscribers too

my favorite is the np4a

Get you a P/J set of EMG hz pickups

np4 i guess can do all

Nice job on getting your comment in a patrick hunter video.

Where was the tone pot set?

So you sell stuff or do you have a stock pile of pick ups 😀

conclusion, just go for the cheapest set

All these demonstrations on youtube people do are pointless with no narration and verbal input, all the playing being recorded, put into video format, uploaded to youtube, and then played back on peoples computers, tvs... all sounds the same, you lose all the differences and cant tell anything. :( You'd have to use an oscilloscope in order to see any differences. Im sure it sounds way different in person and on isolated tracks.... once its on youtube all that is gone.
