Optimized for a balanced sound with plenty of booty on tap, Nordstrand Audio CatPups offer classically inspired tones for any platform into which you can fit them.

The exact same pickups that come on their Acinonyx ā€œCatā€ bass, these were developed with an ear towards vintage character with thick and punchy lows and mids. Inspired by simple clas-sic single coils they pair simplicity of design and solid reliable tone together in a chrome-covered violin size pickup.
