Jazz Bass Pickup Comparison (Nordstrand-Fender-Bartolini)

Difficult to choose a Clear winner.. But for myself the Nordstrands have a Balanced Clarity over the other two.... The Bartolini are not as Clear sounding in the upper mid & treble.... & the Fender are a more clangy' open & loose sounding.

Fender is the Best, for me

Pelo que vi foi alterado os volumes de cada captador nos potenciometros de volume e tone

Good comparison. To me the Fenders win

Nordstrand sounds dead in comparison to the other two.

Apple and Orange comparison! The Nordstrand's are humcancelling, the Fender true single coil!

Looks like the knob settings on the bass vary depending on the pickups? They're definitely different between the Nordstrands and the Barts on the bridge example when you're doing the Beatles. Given different settings for different pickups, it's hard to gauge how accurate the comparison is. That said, the Fenders definitely seem to have the highest output.

Just Fender!

For me ...
bartolini the best for pizzicatto
fender the best for slap.

Thanks for test, very goog! Congratulations!
É isso aí irmão!

Bel video di confronto! Stavo giusto pensando se sostituire i pickups ai miei due Fender Jazz (un Marcus Miller Japan e un Custom Shop '66) ed ero orientato verso i Bartolini perché mi è sempre piaciuta la loro "mediosità"/spinta sulle medio-basse e pulizia ma, dopo aver visto il tuo video, mi sono reso conto che, forse, "i Fender sono esattamente la scelta migliore per Fender!" Ciò che voglio dire è che il "vero" suono Fender lo si ottiene anche grazie a quei "difetti" e al suono "sporco" dei suoi pickups. La mia conclusione quindi è: se dovessi scegliere i pickups che mi piacciono di più direi Bartolini ma se li devo pensare montati su un Fender dico...Fender!

Tiki tiki tiiii!!! Jajajaja, Buenísimo el video!

I love Southbound Pachyderm.

Bartolini less noise clean with nice growl and warmth

Fender, Bartolini then Nordstrand

Bonito jazz bass , me agradaron mucho las fender y Bartolini, buen video saludos

For my taste, Fender > Nordtrand > Bartolini

Fender wins IMO

the winner is the single coil pickups VS hum cancelling pickups !!!!
for the tone -sound of each note of strings !!
for me winner is the 75 Fender Vintage Single-coil pickups !!!
these pickups shine on the mix !!!!! each note have the power and the strong sound of the original jazz !!!

Which model/series of each set? (Bartolini) NJ4's? (Fender) Custom Shop 60's?, (Bartolini) ? Which model? 'Others may also be wondering the same. 🤷🏾 In any case,defenders sounded best of the 3. Thanks. 👊🏾

Nordstrand/bartolini/fender on my taste, beatiful bass and beatiful tones!
