Rebel Bass with Nordstrand Electronics
This instrument was featured as a display and demo model at NAMM 2026. Because it was handled by attendees during the show, it may exhibit minor surface imperfections or light play wear. However, the bass has undergone a full professional inspection to ensure it is in perfect working order and plays beautifully. We have adjusted the sale price to reflect its "ex-demo" status, offering a fantastic value on a world-class instrument.
This Rebel bass is equipped with a powerful combination of Nordstrand pickups and a Nordstrand 3B preamp for the ultimate tonal experience.
Electronics & Controls
The versatile pickup configuration allows for a wide range of sounds:
-
Neck: B4n-35 Single Coil Blade with a warm and woolly winding.
-
Middle: SP4n-35 Split Coil for mid punch and growl.
-
Bridge: BS4b Single Coil for a bright top end.
These pickups are paired with a Nordstrand 3-Band (3B) preamp. The controls are: Volume (Push/Pull Active/Passive True Bypass), Bass, Middle, and Treble.
Uniquely, the pickup selection uses Jag-style sliders, allowing you to choose any individual pickup or run all three at once!
