Love the sound with the new pups and preamp, to my ear more balanced from string to string especially from A to D string. Gonna look into this combo, thanks for posting
OMG! The tone of your G&L is rich and punchy!!! Woah!! I've definitely got to get me the Audere ( and maybe the Nordstrand p/u ) set up! Jackson 5 oh yeah!!!
Thanks for posting this. I had been wondering if/how an Audere preamp would work with the G&L JB5. I didn't think the pickups swap would make that much difference, but they sound great via your comparison.
The bass and your playing sound great. I just bought a JB5 and want to put a set of Nordstrand NJ5FS pups in it. Those are the same dimensions as your pickups...were they a direct replacement, meaning no mods to the bass? Also, are those pole pieces radiused like the fretboard? (higher in the middle, lower on the B and G strings). I find that makes a big difference in getting perfect volume balance across all the strings. Thanks!
Dang. Nordies sound great but I would probably put stocks back on. Certain qualities cannot be conveyed by computer, I know. Feel and response are critical. Good dem, subbed.
The new tone in passive preamp mode is better than the G&L series pickup? Would be fantastic a sound comparison between before-after recordings. Regards!
At 3:58, there's a picture of the packaging with the label "NJ5F", which seems to say that it's the single-coil set. The humbucker set is labeled "NJ5FS". I wondered the same thing, since they sound pretty quiet in the video.
UN FRACASO¡¡ muchos bajistas que conozco estan vendiendo sus bajos de 5 y 6 cuerdas, volviendo al original de 4 cuerdas, como debe ser un bajo. Si te gusta muchas cuerdas..comprate un arpa y yá¡¡¡ 😝😂

The Audere was tight! Great jib.
An honest demo with some quality playing and no fret buzz that a lot of these demos seem to have.
Thanks.

Sounds great man. Thanks for tanking the time to put this review

Fritz Kiffmeyer ya, I didn’t hear any difference between the two pickups through my nice earbuds. Maybe the subtlety doesn’t come across his mic.
Cool sound Man!

Awesome tone !!
can you tell me the pickup height ?

What was exactly the set that you bought? I bought a Nordstrand NJ5 set recently and were short for my G&L JB5.
How much do they retail for?
Hi man, is these NJ5 set with hum-canceling or not?

Hope I’m not too late but from my experience, the Nordstrand are pretty noiseless in the hum department.
