- In this unsponsored video, after multiple viewer requests, I am going to install Mustang bass pickups into this Bronco bass. I will featuring the Nordstrand NM4 Mustang bass pickups. Note: this is the re-issue sized version, not the vintage sized which are slightly smaller in dimension.
Will these mustang pickups fit in the cavity? How will it sound? Let's find out together!
The bass was recorded direct through a Line6 Pod Go with my usual GK800RB model settings.
The comparison track was level matched, but no EQ or compression was added in post.
4 week old D'Addario nickel roundwound strings.

Aahh! I will be poring over this video, as this is exactly what I was contemplating buying next Wednesday!! 😊😊
Good luck! Thanks for watching!
Big Nords fan here . . . more clarity and definition to my ears.
Yeah man! I was initially a little taken aback with the lower output, but the tone is as you described! Thanks for watching!
Hi Joe! Well done as always.
Thanks so much! Really appreciate the encouragement!
I used to measure pickup placement from the bridge as you do here, but found that varies slightly due to intonating the saddles. Now I measure from the nut because that is a constant. Just a suggestion. I enjoy your videos and you do a good job explaining things. BTW I agree with your analysis of the Nordys.
Thanks! That’s a fair point as the nut won’t move/is constant. I’ll incorporate that next time! Thx for watching!
I know jack shit, but the Nordstrands got the funk for sure.
Yeah! Thanks for watching!
can you play a squier bass vi or harley benton bass vi
Thanks for watching and asking. Unfortunately, I don’t have much experience playing those. Really should, though. Thanks for the suggestion!
@@jonathanwong458music are you nilereds brother ?
Sorry, nope. Don’t have siblings.
@@jonathanwong458music can i be your little bro j/k
Hahaha, not asked that every day!
Hahahahahahaha that's great to see my terrible Precision pickup routing looks similar to yours
Yeah, I ended up using a chisel. The poplar is so soft...
Thanks for watching!
I added a neck pickup to an affinity series bronco a few years back, it looked hideous underneath the pickguard, but sometimes we just do what we gotta do
Tina Weymouth style mod? Awesome. Many of us have hidden sins under the pickguard :)
@@jonathanwong458music If I'm not buying basses, I'm buying parts for basses...but I guess there are worse addictions lol
Haha, there sure are! (Worse addictions)
